In a chilling account, a woman shared her harrowing near-death experience at the newly-opened Giwa Gardens Water Park & Resort in Lagos, shedding light on alarming safety concerns.

The incident unfolded during a family outing at Giwa Gardens, as the lady detailed, “This morning I went to Giwa Gardens Water Park & Resort with my family to have fun, and it did not end well.” What was supposed to be a day of enjoyment turned into a nightmare due to perceived safety lapses.

Describing the perilous conditions, she expressed concern about the inadequacy of pool depths for the water park’s long slides. Her daughter’s head collided with the pool tiles after a slide, prompting a warning that went unheeded. She recounted, “My daughter hit her head when she went on it and came back to tell me I shouldn’t go.”

Despite the cautionary tale from her daughter, the woman decided to experience the slide herself. Unfortunately, her encounter with the waterpark’s slide resulted in a direct impact of her forehead on the pool tiles, causing significant injury. She compared this incident to her previous visits to water parks worldwide, noting the absence of rubber padding in Giwa Gardens’ pools.

The first aid response to the injuries further added to the distress. “The staff did not even see it as a big deal!! It took them almost 15 minutes before I saw one who took me casually to the nurse. The first aid service is wack!!! No good plaster is available!” she lamented, highlighting the inadequate medical assistance provided.

In an effort to prevent further incidents, the lady promptly informed the park’s management about the dangers posed by the slides. However, her plea for action seemed to fall on deaf ears. “I informed the management immediately that the slides should be closed, up until I left it wasn’t closed!!!” she exclaimed.


The urgency of the matter led her to call upon the relevant authorities, tagging the Lagos State Government in her social media posts. In a plea directed at both the government and potential visitors, she cautioned, “@lagosstategovt Please go to @giwagardens and do the necessary quality control check before they kill people. Go to @giwagardens at your own risk.”

This alarming incident serves as a wake-up call for both regulatory bodies and the public, emphasizing the need for stringent safety measures and quality checks at recreational facilities.

This morning I went to @giwagardens @keji_giwa with my family to have fun and it did not end well
The pools are too shallow for the long slides,my daughter hit her head when she went on it and came back to tell me I shouldn’t go…I thought she was exaggerating,I went on the slide and hit my forehead head on the tiles in the pool ,I have been to at least 5 water parks in different countries,there is always a rubber laid in all the pools,my head hit the tiles directly and my lips caught into two.
The first accident I had was at the river,I tumbled in the tube and the back of my head hit the tiles,I left immediately with my daughter not knowing a bigger one was coming…
The staff did not even see it as a big deal!!
It took them almost 15mins before I saw one who took me casually to the nurse.
The first aid service is wack!!!
No good plaster available!
Am not here looking for attention,I am just trying to save another victim from this disaster.

Very important message here, but I know this won't get to the front page since it's not about IPOB or nudity

Here in Africa, nay Nigeria, we often imitate white people without thinking. Just like I visited a beautiful stadium complex built by a state government and people were urinating openly at the back because there was no provision of toilet.

They even used a cellotape as a plaster. Nigeria My country

I can not swim. Nothing concern me with any body of water.

Noted.

You should have listen to your daughter. Singing "parents listen to your children, we are leaders of tomorrow."

This is good. What I expect from educated Nigerians and non-educated alike. Call people and corporations out when due.
It's stupid trying to condone their nonsense.
That's why we suffer as a people. If they get reported, they'll act in suit and we'll be getting quality services.

Kudos to this woman. I trust Lagos quality control body to do justice too.
All these market that sell fake stuffs and the people dealing in it, let people report them and government punish them.

There should be standards and regulations as regards the establishment of such facility.

Hmm

Hope Lagos will respond fast enough before we hear stories that touch the heart

When we copy things in Nigeria, we neglect safety protocols...as If the almighty God exists only to protect Nigerians.

Your daughter warned you. Despite the warning you still went ahead with the slide

😂 see mouth? o swing daran

Even those toilets when made available will be a gory mess after a short while

Ego won't let you listen to your kid, serves you right

Hopefully, the park management will be swift to take necessary actions.

But OP, this is not a Near Death Experience...

Hmmm. ... and was making arrangements to go there with my family on Sunday

Talk2sukky:
Your daughter warned you. Despite the warning you still went ahead with the slide

nowadays women were hardly control, dey will first do wot in dey re mind first,i wonder how her hubby handle her

Disobedient mummy despite your child warning you still went there thank God it is not a serious accident

Maybe ein wan mine person skull as the owner belongs to the skull mining tribe

God bless this woman. If Nigerians had this mindset to quickly call out nonsense, we wouldn't be where we are today.

When it's not your time to die, to get rich, to marry, to conceive, there's nothing anybody can do.

Not yet time, thank God for your life.

eepeepook:
I can not swim. Nothing concern me with any body of water.

So they should all die, because you cannot swim and nothing concerns you with any body of water?
Hope all your loved ones ,relatives and friends have the same sentiments?

How much is plaster that someone is using cellotape

Terrible

She wanted to learn by experience.. God used your daughter to warn you of the danger ahead,but you decided to go and see for yourself. You're lucky you're alive to tell the story.

Hmmm. This life no balance sha. She sustained injury because she went to have fun meanwhile, another woman is seen sleeping on a moving truck because she is trying to find something to eat:
