I can't take a boat ride but out of necessity I took a ride in Sierra Leone some weeks back and the safety and organization was top notch. I didn't even know I was on water. They were on time, had life vest under each sit, the ride was smooth not withstanding that the water was a bit turbulent.

They had emergency procedures and so on and the irony is the company running it was owned by a Nigerian.

That's a country that just ended a war a decade or so back. I can never enter a boat ride in Lagos. I can't imagine going on such suicide ride. I doubt they are regulated and like the Nigerian character take safety for granted. In case of emergencies I doubt there's a single back up plan to save you and the most cringeworthy thing, most don't even give you functional life vests.

I'm sure you don't take a boat ride in Nigeria and hence you know nothing going on in that sector. Congrats for the information about the Sierra Leone boat ride which seems to be the only one you have tested and can trust. The Lagos Waterways is busier and safer today than you can ever imagine.

Adherence to safety procedures is an unbearable burden to the Nigerian. He prefers to bear the burden of the consequences of safety violation. What a low life!

These cyber beggars and fraudsters have become so brazen that they don't even bother appealing or being courteous.

Look at this idiot talking like an armed robber. No courtesy, nothing. Talking as if his father gave us money to hold. Why don't you ask your family members or those around you? Ill-bred mongrel.

I traverse the length and breath of Lagos creeks and the sea in pursuit of my official assignment.

Everyday, we live by the skin of our teeth.

Just yesterday, a crazy commercial boat operator got us stranded midstream at about 9:48pm . The stupid man suddenly realized that he has very limited fuel.

We were drifting for about ten minutes. I prayed all the prayers I knew until I was able to get another boat after I sent an SOS request to everyone I know can help..

I was scared stiff. I thank God that help came. No emergency services in Nigeria.

It's a personal thing . Some have phobia for airplanes. Also experience shape thought processes. Some would never take a night bus because of the inherent dangers. You don't have to press p.

I don't, because they aren't a necessity where I stay. I would rather drive long hours than take all those passenger boats I see in Lagos.

The numerous stories i hear about passenger ferry services ain't encouraging. If you work in that sector and have better information you can definitely enlighten us.

Edited.. just check the above post by Zionista as another evidence of my fears.

We are still in celebration mood as my elder brother was among the survivors, as an izon man he was able to swim ashore when the boat capsized. We thank God for his life and the other survivors, may the souls of the departed RIP

I thank God for saving me that is my everyday route I take to work but on that day I just decided to go by road, over there at Sifax jetty in Ojo local government they are not organized and they give us fake self made life jacket just to make us feel confident that we are save that was the reason three people died and five missing, God help us all.

Is it a must for water transportation to work in Lagos?

I'll rather fly with Nigeria Airforce pilots than enter boat for Lagos.

At least we can eject when we jam each other by mistake.
