Why travel in a wooden boat at Night.

RIP to them.

Unfortunately, it's not their first time doing night travels on those waters, after all that's the only thing that connects many of those communities. Truth however is that, the more times you do something dangerous, the closer you are to getting seriously hurt or in this case dying.

This won't stop others in those communities from doing night waka on the waters. They'll simply feel these ones were unlucky.

Rest in peace to the departed souls.

Andoni, the water is too big. The first time I travelled to Bonny island through Bodo city in Gokana, I was terrified by the water. I hope they work on that road to reduce this monopoly of water transportation to Bonny.
not as big as bonny

Wave can come unexpectedly and hit seafarers.It is important to always wear life jackets when traveling by sea but most indigenes don't adhere to such safety rules.I don't know why.

The peculiar difficulties associated with Riverine communities demand sincerity and accountability from their leaders. They should ensure that funds meted out to then are used to provide basic amenities for the betterment of their lives.

Bonny is bigger. From Bodo city to Bonny was very scary the first time. Like every where is water. My friend told me he travelled eight hours on water in Beyelsa too.

That's very true. You know we Nigerians don't always listen to instructions. That's too bad.

Oh! Not those kids!! Oh my God!
What happened to life jackets?!
Even if the victims/ prospective Passengers don't request for one.
Make it mandatory for them to wear abeg.

Nigeria! Rescue came HOURS later. See how those in power and position to effect change have caused bloodshed in the country. Embezzlement and ignoring of necessary safety measures to save lives is destroying citizens but govt no care. Yet when one political witch/wizard dies they want the nation to mourn them.
