This thing full naija nah. Villagers wey no get money for dredging machines do this their own way by diving inside with iron bucket and pack White sand.

As a geologist, have witness this in Afikpo, Asaba close river Niger, Benue River et.c.

Why this suffering just to make a living when someone with pen can write off 5 million naira in 5 minutes. Please get education first even though there is no job.

It is possible these guys are making equivalent of 60k per month at Cameroon after all these life threatening gymnastics.

The world is structured in a pyramid-like shape where the 1% philosophers and rich of the earth are at the pinnacle of the pyramid. professionals and entrepreneurs comes next, artisans follow suit and finally labourers.

The top 1% controls the 99% of the world populations. To live is to eat and to eat is to work. All other groups except the top 1% are slaves but they are yet to realize it.

Let me stop here

No errors to correct? undecided

Some guys do this in Oworonshoki and somewhere in Ijebu. Why don't you start that business of yours in Nigeria before taking it to the other place?

Boy! You need to visit Uwana in Afikpo Ebonyi state to see this kinda stuff! Though not as intense but equally challenging! Even children are involved! It was mixed emotions for me the first time I saw it...

Explorers:
These incredible photographs show the the sculpted physique of workers who do one of the most dangerous jobs on earth.

The buff divers plunge deep into a fast-flowing river to scoop up sand from the bottom 20 feet below.

The muscular African tribesmen regularly risk their lives diving to the river bed to collect sand for the building industry.

Oh my! shocked
Is this a job or a suicide mission? Are there no sands in Cameroon? How many dives do they go with their buckets before they can fill a truck with sand? Stuff like this shouldn't still be going on in 2019, when is Africa ever going to develop? sad

Explorers:
'Some divers drown when they misjudge the location of the hull of the boat and get knocked out when they surface and bang their heads.

'At night this is particularly dangerous because no one can see them in the dark and they can get washed away by the tides.

'Other divers suffer from bleeding from the ears and noses and eyes due to the depths they are working at and sand often ingresses through those cavities.'

Dude, only a guy Ass fagot trip for a man like him.. FOH boy!

They are here in naija too, seen some under Agbara bridge, they load the sand in boats that are bigger than these. Tippers come to pack after they offload from the boats.

I know some farm apparatus on this forum are already salivating in their panties.

You don't need to be a hoe to salivate. Later you people will say Naija girls will rather die than express themselves. When they do, you still call them hoes.

Dangerous job, but those abs are fire!

Abeg, this is too hard and risky. Is there no mechanized way to do this?
