RIP.. After saving the 13th person, you were already a hero, why further the risk??

Now you just rendered these cute children fatherless, depriving them of the feeling of growing up having a father. . You just made this beautiful lady a widow.

He didn't do it for heroism. He just couldn't watch that last person die.

What a HERO! May God reward you abundantly.

RIP good man,okoroausa you don't hear this ?we need this man status pleaaaaaaaase

His good name will far out weigh whatever achievement he could have got if he didn't pay the supreme bill for others.

This is a practical example of a man's love.

UPON ALL THETRAINING I GAVE THIS GUY ON RESCUEITY, HE TRIED BUT DIED AT THE END

CastedBlog:
The family of Joe Blankson a 36-year-old man has been thrown into moruning following his painful death in Rivers state.

Joe a contractor who supplies diesel died while rescuing victims of a boat accident on Saturday, He had single-handedly rescued 13 people when a boat capsized along the Abonnema-Bakana waterways in Degema, Rivers state.

Fishermen around the area rescued some people while Blankson succeeded in rescuing 13 people all on his own.
As the father-of-two attempted to rescue a 14th person, he died in the river and his body was retrieved a day later.

In all, six people died in the boat mishap, according to eyewitness reports. But the state Police Public Relations Officer, Nnamdi Omoni, insisted that only one person died in the accident and not six.

It is believed Blackson might have died of exhaustion after going multiple times to save 13 people.

Residents of Bakama in the Degema Local Government Area of Rivers State have hailed the young father a hero for his selfless act which cost him his life.

The boat was conveying 25 passengers from Abonnema wharf to Bakana before the accident happened around Iborama.

Now Is the time to sow seeds into the lives of his family.

This guy deserves NATIONAL HONOR and his family needs to be placed on a stipend of 1 million a year every year.

Journey well bro. You've done well!

The guy died saving the lives of others.
This act,though resulted to his untimely death,is the true definition of LOVE!
....RIP my brother!

some people just have heart to help, they cannot see others in need of help that they can render and live them to die, they won't be able to sleep, even if the society has become like Sodom and Gomorrah. He could have left after the 13th rescue, but seeing others on the fringe of death is too much to bear. I wish tomorrow leaders could be chosen by heart with the help of Artificial Intelligence. Heart and Soul are surely the biggest difference in humanity, not any religion, race, skin color, background or creed.


Rest in peace, brother

i hate it when people sacrifice their lives for this country. it hurts. rest in peace

He is a selfless Hero!

RIP Joe Blackson.

May his soul rest in peace... Bu i doubt if his wife will ever forgive him... Saved 13 pple but put the future of his wife and little kids at risk...

This is a TRUE HERO.
A modern day GOOD SAMARITAN.
Straight to HEAVEN he goes....to the RIGHT SIDE of Darling Jesus!
RIP Good Man.

yes jesus is in paradise but no single person among his followers can get to paradise because he never once said he was a god and that he should be worship on sundays by dancing and singinginfact he never once name his religion christianity,the said bible was written by alcoholics paul and john,thats why bible is less valueble to suya paper. jesus can never b god bkos he have anus and penix that a good god never seems to get one,its a great shame for a god to eat talkless of going to toilet.

PHIPEX:
So sad, I wish those rescued will combine to take care of the family he left behind. I didn't mention govt cos it's largely nonexistent.

Do you think buhari will do anything about this issue? Na 2019 dey that old fool mind.

legend will not be forgotten

no comment

People should be careful rescuing drowning people. some would end up drowning you out of panic. I will not be surprised if the 14th victim botched the rescue mission leading to his death.

It shows you don't know what it takes to be a national hero.
