You were almost right Nwanneni. The Angel Gabriel accident happened in 2007. That vessel was huge as trailers lined up for two days offloading goods on it. Well, that wasn’t my line of business. I was just trying to cure my curiosity about water travels and my brother insisted that I bring in his goods while coming. He deals on spare parts. I was going to Cameroon, while Angel Gabriel was going to Gabon....Lol. Some guys are scared of water, when men dey enter six passengers flying boat from Cameroon to Nigeria under few hours.

Spare parts?haha.I know it's certainly Camp-yabassi in Douala that your bro is based.

I don't know what it is with some of you that just accuse others of corruption. I am very sure you have swallowed the 'fight against corruption' mantra hook, line and sinker while the idiots blowing such trumpet are the worst purveyors and enablers of the so-called corruption they claim to fight. Once someone says something you are probably too dull to understand or interpret you reduce it to corruption and name-calling. What is wrong with you? Are you mad? How do you just sit and decide that a person is wicked and selfish? Do you even have the faintest idea of the feeling that comes with a close shave or a near miss?

The op would have been on that ship but for some inexplicable twist of fate and now, he has every reason to be thankful that this calamity did not befall him. That does not in any way mean that he rejoices over the sad fate that has befallen others. It takes a humble, thankful heart to acknowledge the miracle that he now lives whilst still drawing attention to the plight of unfortunate victims and praying for their safety and recovery.

He is an APC moslem Afonja, that's how they reason , so dense and evil

Nice story for the dundees consumption. The only thing I want you to clarify in this nonsense write-up is whether "Azubuike Ihejerika" is of Fulani or Yoruba extraction.

Your victim mentality will ruin you.
it was Goodluck Jonathan that broke most of the protocols for Igbos because Goodluck is an Igbo son by heart if u don't know

This was the Austrheim the said morning before departure loading for Central Africa in calabar,Nigeria.
Such a beauty plaqued by improper maintenance by the said company COMATRANS(Bunch of lunatics)
Fourth sinking in a row,this being the most fatal.

You don't know about it because you are not in government leadership, if you were, you will be filled with information of virtually everything happening in Nigeria, it is then left for u to act or not based on your interest.

See, I have been a bit privileged to be around top Nigerian leaders and I tell u that tribalism and religious discrimination are what destroyed Nigeria and they are the major things that will never allow Nigeria grow like most common Nigerians desire.


After the civil war, there were so many secret consensus among Hausa-Fulanis and Yoruba political elites and top military goons to keep Igbos under check through economy sabotage of Southeast region and by extension Southsouth.

In those various secret consensus, they agreed that an Igbo man will never become Chief of Army Staff or President, reason Ekwueme's chances to become Nigeria's president in 1983 and 1999 were all thwarted by the northern power brokers in collaboration with Yorubas.

Ekwueme formed PDP, he won the primary election but they did a power upturn to give the ticket to OBJ as compensation to Yorubas for MKO Abiola so they don't lose out their Southern division.

Ekwueme was to succeed Shagari, Buhari and his northern boys boycotted it through their coup.

Only few Middlebelt military officers later realized that Hausa-Fulanis were using them to work against Igbos that did them no wrong but agitating for equal treatment for all Nigerians irrespective of tribe, and reason Major Giddeon Okar plotted the coup to remove IBB and divide Nigeria into many nations but unfortunately the coup failed.

What's holding Nigeria down is the conspiracy by Hausa-Fulanis and Yoruba political elites to keep Igbos politically and economically below.


In terms of southeast state governors not doing much, let me tell u, there is nothing much a Nigerian state governor can do without Presidential support cos that's how Nigeria is structured by Gowon and subsequent military rulers and all efforts for this to be changed have been refused by the North who are the biggest beneficiaries.

Southeast don't get much revenue allocation. Out of the 6 geopolitical zones, only southeast have 5 states, why

So many crude oil reserves in Southeast have been intentionally abandoned without exploration to ensure southeast is made poor economically so they will not be seen as oil producing states. I know many unexplored crude oil sites abandoned by FG intentionally or for whatever reasons known to them.

You people have started your useless propaganda again. Your Niger-Delta brother Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has been Minister of Transport for almost 5 years, and the ports as well as NPA, are all under his ministry. What did he do? sad

Kemafor Chikwe was once Minister of Transport followed by Ojo Maduekwe, what happened? Why didn't they solve the problem, you are complaining about? shocked

Goodluck Jonathan another Niger-Delta man ruled this country for some years....did he fix the problem? Why do you like blaming other tribes when your own people had time, effort and energy to fix the problem, but they did not?

I agree with this. Insurance is a necessity and of course doing things the right way.
ornicus:


when some of us talk about safety checks and insurance and sanctioning people with road worthless vehicles, you say we are speaking the english of employees who do not have businesses. you say nigeria is full of hustlers and these things do not matter. If we hear now that the captain did not have proper certification, what will you say? now see yourself sweating about how an accident could have ruined you. breadwinners will die in that boat because of the incompetence of the owner.

did they have enough life jackets for the passengers? did they have emergency procedures? did they have a rescue operation on standby? but all this is just English na. the important thing is hustle, no be so?

keep resting your business on prayers. just remember the people who were victims also have others praying for them



why should a business waste time on any of these? na hustle. everyone has to survive. we have not reached this level yet . let them do that in Canada or US
Re: Austrheim Sinks: Disaster At Sea, Sad Day For Nigerian Businessmen & Travellers by cococandy(f): 8:36am On Aug 28, 2019
They should make insurance mandatory for everyone .

Logobenz3:
also,if I pay insurance and my competitors don't pay and we are to sell in the same market,don't you think my price will be higher than theirs and hence no one will buy my goods?
There is no room for extra cost here,trust me wink
Unless of course it is made mandatory for everyone that loads in that vessel to pay insurance,then we will because we all suffer the dame or similar cost burden.
Business no easy my dear.
Even for Tin can,Apapa,Europe and America(i participate a lot in that sphere too),we dey bypass insurance steady and customs too.
That is some of the ways importers make money.
