This is disastrous. May their souls rest in peace. Didn't they wear a life jacket?
Re: 76 People Feared Dead As Boat Capsizes In Anambra by Nightwolf1: 2:11pm On Oct 08, 2022
I'm beginning to think that Nigerians are naturally careless people. For God's sake, how could you travel by the river and not fasten a life jacket for your own safety?

An empty 20 litre Jerry can that has no leakage anywhere can keep you afloat should the expected happen on the river.

I just hate it when someone dies based on ignorance.

RIP to those that lost their lives. This is an avoidable event or death if only safety measures were put in place.
How can people board a boat comfortably without a lifeguard or jacket? This shows that even the citizens don't value their own life.

Can a boat carry up to 85 people? Abi!
Re: 76 People Feared Dead As Boat Capsizes In Anambra by jrusky(m): 2:14pm On Oct 08, 2022
That is obi fault and failure because he and his dunce supporters claimed he made Anamvra like Tokyo.

Same way you morons blame Tinubu for everything even for vehicle flat tyre in Lagos same way I will always blame obi for everything that goes wrong in Anambra.

So sad
Re: 76 People Feared Dead As Boat Capsizes In Anambra by SeriouslySense(m): 2:22pm On Oct 08, 2022
Maybe Individuals should also have a floating vest at hand; Incase its needed.
Throwback:
Proper safety equipment could have saved lives despite the boat capsizing.

In a sane country, 76 people dying would call for a national emergency, but not in Nigeria where life has remained worthless.

Almost as if successive governments are deliberately indifferent to the multiple avenues for the loss of human lives, as a means to curtail our population.

RIP to the departed.

No life jackets for a ferry service? At times I wonder what Nigerians did to deserve all these calamities and avoidable loss of lives. Being born in Nigeria is a risk.
Re: 76 People Feared Dead As Boat Capsizes In Anambra by FreeStuffsNG: 2:24pm On Oct 08, 2022
So sad. May God console the bereaved. Govt should please improve water transport safety and introduce insurance for these passengers in case of sad events like this.
Sorry Ndi-Anambra.

This is why it is very dangerous and wicked to be wishing other's death. Many people do mock others and wishing other's death when they themselves are very near the graves. Death does not come just by being sick but God has the time of everyone in His hand. Many people who thought and even wished Buhari dead are for long gone many years and now Buhari is still alive. So who are you to mock and wish other's death when you are not God and when you can even drop dead in a minute. I pray that may the souls died in this tragedy rest in peace and that God consoles their families

You wonɗer what we are. No .accountability required in this country from anybody or any party. No life jackets on board rotten canoes operated by Shylock robbers! Before you know it "orders from above"will close the matter.But the Bible foretold all these happening. Che sera sera.

a boat carrying 85 persons. this is beyond ridiculous. many deaths in Nigeria are easily avoidable...so unnecessary. this happens over and over again because the law has been sleeping thanks to our lullaby politicians and government heads.

then again, my heart breaks at the rate at which people die in Nigeria. what bothers me more is whether this people died prepared for eternity because eternity is the real life, not our earthly years here.

Ewu, if you want to empathize with the victims, you do it without wailing. Your saner climes experience worse disasters regularly, and I wonder why they don't have solution to do what you are saying.
