When I tell people that all this rubbish life jackets that they use in Lagos boats are fake, they will be arguing. Well, they are "fake" in terms of when casala burst, and boat capsize or sink, the life jackets can't keep the person floating and save the victim from drowning. When you board a white man ship, European or American ship and you see the kind life jackets they use, then you will know that the ones dem dey use for all this Lagos boats na ordinary puff puff nylon bag. A life jacket that cannot keep you floating when you drop inside water, shey dah wan na life jacket? May God help their families in their trying times, amen!

No, not like that. They would have worn it well. But the truth is this type of life jackets cannot save in real life situations when the action film start. Na decoration e be. Just like 3rd party police let me go insurance, this one na oga Navy let me pass film trick life jacket. It can only be useful to someone who is already an experience swimmer. But for a person that doesn't know how to swim, na bye bye be him name if the water current is strong. And Lagos waters, most of the time, current is strong because of the Atlantic ocean

I be number 1.. Even swimming pool sef, fear grip me.. Na waka I dey waka for swimming pool coz I tall small..

If I try swim, I go just drown gringringrin

How can i learn swimming

It's very easy. Go to YouTube and search on how to swim video, download and practice.


I learnt swimming in a swamp. After my work, at the site, I and 5 more of my group go swimming in a swamp near our site.

I am perfect now at swimming. What I am learning now is how to save a drowning person.

On Friday, i would use one person in my group as an example.



Note: You never know when it will come, use every opportunity you have and learn how to swim.

Below is a statement from the Lagos state emergency management agency(LASEMA);



https://mobile.twitter.com/followlasema/status/1279452811286269956

This country is very far from development. Men of LASEMA cannot put on life jacket to mark safety. This is appalling. Rest in peace to the dead.

Lagos State is deceiving people with that ikorodu ferry terminal. Most of the boat there are death traps for people using that terminal to work

When will we hear good news in this country? If it is not mindless accident, it is accidental discharge by security operatives, if it is not armed robbers, it is kidnappers, if it not Coronavirus, it is massive heartbreaking cases of corruption. And you need to buy fuel or diesel for your generator either to charge your phone or watch this nonsense news on the TV, or hear it from a weary voice on the radio embarassed Times are hard, but Nigeria's case is different. Even news coming from abroad concerning Nigerians is virtually all bad news of some either having been arrested or of Nigerians wanted for one criminal offense or the other.
Fire service operating only when there is no fire incident, but when there is a fire incident, they will have very good and useless excuses not to appear, and all staff receive monthly salary promptly for not performing at all! And along with that multiple ghost workers! And Nigeria is the only country I know where ghosts receive salaries, allowances and promotion! Ghosts!
More annoying is when for days you have had no Nepa and the next announcement you hear is that the National grid is down and that there will be blackout for some days - as if there had been light previously undecided
A country where a politician will donate ropes for tying goats as a constituency project embarassed How did we get here? I wonder what is there for future generations - men of 80 years and above are getting appointments in a society where over 80m are jobless youths!
Man this country just happens to exist. It's sad to think that even in the future Nigeria will still be broken sad.

Anything the current government boats about in Nigeria deserves a thorough audit of anyone who values their lives before acting on such erroneous lies..

I was born in riverine part of Ondo State. Sometimes you might not hear of boat mishap in 5 years. When it eventually happens, 80% of the time, people will not die. When I said boat, I meant ALL manners of structure moving on water (speed boat, traditional boat, sea boat, tug etc).

But Lagos case is still baffling me. 80% of the time, people die in Lagos boat accident. I never see any passenger there with life jacket (Ondo State). One major difference that comes to mind though is that at very least, 98% of people that board those boats know how to swim (I mean they are literally fish in the water).

Examine the picture you posted below, nobody is wearing lifejacket correctly, if the boat were to capsize, many people will die.

The boat Captain is supposed to check everyone's Jacket is well worn before departure.
