Very good thread.....

Waste of time, just go and watch "Ultimate Survivor" on Discovery Channel.

All this doesn't matter... A friend died in his sleep a week ago.

Yes, swimming one skill everyone should have in Nigeria, it's sad how you hear news of students/corpers drowning on escorts... Very pathetic...
If you watch Hollywood movies, you will know that 98%of amaricas of not all knows how to swim

Another skill everybody should have are
1.how to drive a car, motorcycle or even bicycle
2. How resuscitate or revive someone... I hope one day an agency is commissioned for this purpose.. It will really save a lot of lives in Nigeria...
