Death is inevitable, but this could have been avoided if not for carelessness 💯

Water no get enemy no be when you enter oshimiri
Life jacket would have save all this
Honestly this people just behaved like people wey no go school things we overlooked end up mattering the most

Nice one keep searching

What a tragedy

Soo sad. God have mercy

These deaths were needless and totally avoidable.
The entire people and management involved including the NIWA guys should be arrested.

How did NIWA approve an unsafe travel?

May God forgive all their sins and grant them peace.

But, they should all be arrested and made to face the law.

The bodies were found intact because it didn't happen in the South West.

See somebody's father and husband.

The next generation is doomed with many people like you as parents

So sad.

Why such carelessness. Cutting corners onto death

May their soul RIP

Ok we have picked a lot of lessons on safety and procedures. One thing is sure, this death will expose a lot of unhealthy activities in the movie industry.

So these two people don't have names?
