Unavoidable situation. I learnt the boat was over loaded with no life jacket. No value for human life. Crazy.

juman:
They read book so much but they lacked common sense.
Life Jacket should be must.
Also if you are not good swimmer even with life Jacket dont do boat cruise thing in nigeria unless you desire to die.

Kajaard:


Avoidable

Lovelyn451:
Some people shouldn't go near water, they are of water and they don't know it, if u join such person, when water comes for him/ her everybody in that boat is a goner, watch how other bodies will float after some days, one person body no go float and he/she is the cause of this mishap

poshestmina:
Water is clear but wetin dey under water no clear at all!

Rest in peace to all the recent water mishaps victims.

bizhop01:
Many here think that rivers in Niger delta are like swimming pools that when you know how to swim you will survive.
River that very scaring in appearance, deep, wide and unstable that you can swim for over 30 minutes without reaching an end.
Without quality life jacket you must be professional swimmer before you survive if you drop in, only people that travel in Niger delta rivers will understand this

Thank you. I didn't even realize. That's one challenge with auto correct when you type. One will keep proof reading and am lazy at proof reading. Thank you.

The truth is that boat cruise was an illegal activity they embarked on and neither was it certified but the NIMSA board organizing the whole thing. If not, every safety precaution would have been met. Ever wondered why it’s only a few students that embarked on the voyage?



Those students are the heady ones who just strayed away for a different type of fun. From the news up there, NIMSA organized a better social activity which was the visiting of the Slave History Museum, which would benefit the students more intellectually and not a dangerous boat cruise.

dennisbee:


Very correct.

Some time last year or so, my office embarked on a similar excursion to this same Marina Resort in Calabar. We went there to see the Slave Museum. That was the essence!

But myself and a few other colleagues thought it fun to experience a boat ride across to one island like that to see crocodiles, etc.

We wore life jackets. It is mandatory for everyone in the boat to wear it. The boat guys won't allow you in if you're not wearing it. So I believe they all wore life jackets.

The question now would be, where their life jackets functional? Where they expired? I'm even scared reading this story cos I'm imagining that it could have been us at the time. And tht thing I wore that I thought could save me could have just been some empty cloak.

Although our boat was just going at a slow pace. I insisted on no speeding sha.

Thank God for life.

Henceforth I will run FARRRR from anything water. I no just fit shout

naturefellow:


OceanGate Titan biko, not Titanic. LOL

phemmyfour:
Illiteracy

When you did not observe water safety, expect waterways accident.

Is road not clear, why do we still have road accident

OSESUNATE:


Always jumping into conclusion.

Who told you there were no life jackets?

Even if you know how to swim, can you swim thru that kind of water body, have u seen the volume of water?

If you can't empathize with them, just slide instead of making useless accusations
