"Two Nigerian students Charles and Eddy students of knusford University college Accra went for an excursion to the volta region of Ghana on the 23rd of this month,it was one of the most anticipated events of the semester as most of the students from knusford and other schools rushed the ticket,when they finally arrived they was a river that served as a barrier and they had to hire a speed boat to get there,looking at the limited amount of the boats and the price,they decided to talk to a fisherman to take them to the other side with his canoe,they managed to convince the fisherman and the five of them went on board without life jackets,when they were in the middle of the river the canoe suddenly capsized,three out of the five boys were able to swim and mannover there way out of the river,one of the survivors tried to rescue charles but he wasn't able to,so just three out of the five survived " http://deucesreloaded..co.uk/2013/11/very-sad-two-nigerian-students-drown-in.html?m=1

Sad ...instead of facing their studies. RIP

Pls...where am i

So Sad. RIP. I hate swimming.

Ah!

they managed
to convince the fisherman and the five of
them went on board without life
jackets,when they were in the middle of
the river the canoe suddenly
capsized,three out of the five boys were
able to swim and mannover there way
out of the river,one of the survivors tried
to rescue charles but he wasn't able to,so
just three out of the five survived

The fact remains that if some very important practices were not violated, this incident would not be this fatal.
why should canoe still be used in expeditions such as this one?
Imagine going on sea without life jackets especially on a canoe?
Btw, every human should take basic swimming exercises for emergency cases as this.

May their souls rest in peace.

ichommy: So Sad. RIP. I hate swimming.

you just have to know how to swim bro! The swimming abilities of those guys that escaped death helped them. If not that, na 5 casualties o!

Rip to them!
But to be sincere, they risked their lives to kill themselves!

It's a small world really. My friend's mum told my mum this story yesterday. Her daughter had been on that canoe too but came down to let another person take her place. Sad story. RIP boys.

o

Sometimes cheap things arnt cheap.
RIP to dem

ha

I hope Mamiwata takes them.

So Sad
ASUU should be held responsible
If not for the incessant strike on Nigerian universities,
what will these guys be doing in a Ghananian university

Please don't call for my head ooo

henritinecy: THE REAL STORY. I'm a student of the school and also among the executives. When we got to the resort, which is Afrikiko at Akosombo, we were making arrangements with the management of the place on how to reduce the price of the facilities there. This time, some students were playing volleyball, some football, some around the pool , some table tennis and others dancing. The management said, its 20 cedis to eat, 20 cedis to swim and 10 cedis to cruise the boat. Charles, Demola, Michael, Bright and Edwards entered a fisherman's canoe to cross the river for the amount of 5 cedis each. They were almost to the other side when the both capsized. Bright is from rivers state and he can swim. Demola and Michael managed to save themselves but Charles and Edwards died. It was just impatient that killed these guys. Besides, you know you don't know how to swim, you are entering a fishermans boat that doesn't have a life jacket. The fisherman ran away but he was found about two villages away. The situation right now is that their relatives are around and are planning on how to take their bodies to Nigeria.

It's really sick mehn.

God help us

. . . ASSU STRICK OH !

PAGAN 9JA:
I hope Mamiwata takes them.

I never go near River or Beach water since that day..


And which kind school be Knusford again kwa!!?!

Its really sad. Well RIP to dem.

Very sad but drives home the point everyone should learn how to swim. Its not hard to do. It should be taught in school or else parents should make sure their kids learn to. The good thing is, you never forget how to, like riding a bike. Also our young folks need to be safety conscious. I can only pray God comforts their family and friends.

anybody 4rm rivers state r always use to river.

I need to start attending swimming class and tutors, just in case of incasity.

Wow. Rip. Its so unfortunate. Even where I served in bayelsa, d ppl there will tell u that, if u dnt knw how to swim, lifejacket is just useless. I tried it and find out they were right. So, I had to learn how to swim there incase of any eventuality. If u dnt knw how to swim, lifejacket will even make dying more easier. Rip.
