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.'

That’s due to The Bend, Physicist can explain better.

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

Education has little value in African societies enslaved to despotic leaders. Paul Biya possesses a chain of palaces and billions of dollars in assets hidden all over the globe, while these his subjects live like cavemen in the 21st century, and this story is the same all over Africa.

Someone tell me what exactly are the qualities that make the black man better than a wild animal?

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.

THEY ARE WORKING HARD FOR THEIR MONEY!

But some of them should not have gone really NUDE!

They should have put on at least a pant or a boxer as they swim and mine sand.

Sand mining is also a popular business in some marine community in Nigeria.

There are rich guys that can afford sand dredger while those who can not afford sand dredger go for bucket system to pack sand.

Africans and backwardness ,why couldn't they develop a pipe suction like a sand dreger to scoop sand and fill boat ....where is the university of daula mechanical engineering dept...no need for all muscle show but muscle of the brain (brain power)

Perhaps you should acquaint yourself with the book: The Miseducation of the Negro. The professors are busy writing PHD dissertations on the value of zero. While you're at it, you should ask yourself why universities in Nigeria are offering courses in management when the universities themselves are poorly managed

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

Yes there is. Same way there is a mechanized way to sweep public roads, vacuum in your home and even wash clothes, but a lot of these activities are done manually in much of the world, including in Nigeria. It's all about economics, actually capitalism.

Where'd they get the funds to buy a dredging machine. And who in their immediate vicinity would be able to pay the higher prices of dredged sand, when there'd be a teeming mass of equally buff guys ready to replace them on the ready at current or lower prices.

It is the nihilism of life. The longer we let our economies stagnate by acting like it's not our business because we're individually doing good, the longer people do and die from thankless tasks for peanuts when there currently exists far more satisfying alternatives.

I mean in parts of Norway, they had to install self-cleaning public toilets because it wasn't financially prudent to pay folks high wages to wash toilets. Over here, we have people pushing barrows under scorching tropical heat for hours on end every day for dimes and nickels.

Seriously, I don't see anything dangerous about it the way guys are painting it.

There are divers and experienced so no problem expect when they are sick.

It is actually fun to them. I can do same for leisure if I know how to swim every well.

You are absolutely right. Black men are barbaric and insensitive. What reasonable man would keep more than his third generations could not be able to finish and leave the rest of the society to abject penury. Africa glorifies ill-gotten wealth.

Africans are very strong. But what we have physically we're also lacking in good mental grit that can make tedious task easy. Other race would have developed machine to get sand deep into the Ocean. Not this awkward way!
