Thanks I have watched it

Why are these rivers always so dirty?! Why?

Yack.

Funny enough it will take 30minutes to cross by boat what you would spend 3 hours on the road for , I no go lie I have also cross that river in the evening.. but the State Government should enforce and procure life jackets for the boat men ...

Canoe Carries Loaded Bus Across River in Taraba State, Nigeria, Without Life Jackets:

A small canoe in Taraba State, Nigeria, defied expectations by ferrying a fully loaded bus and its passengers across a river.

Eyewitnesses report that the bus, packed with passengers and goods, was attempting to cross the river when it encountered difficulties. With no bridge in sight and no other means of transportation available, the passengers and driver made the daring decision to load the bus onto a small canoe.

What ensued was a nerve-wracking journey as the overloaded canoe struggled against the currents, carrying both the weight of the bus and the apprehensions of its occupants. Passengers were forced to cling to the back of the vehicle inside the precarious boat, with no life jackets in sight to ensure their safety.

Videos of the extraordinary scene quickly circulated on social media, drawing both shock and concern from viewers.

Where are their Life Jackets
We are tired of reading bad news

What if it hits a hippotamus

2021/2022, I was crossing this river back to back, for business though. It's was Junior Pope's death that made me remember the risk we were taking casually.

There was a day the boat needed repairs in the middle of that river. Naive me was taking pictures and running commentaries to my wife; that one like gist pass anything.

I am not even talking about the perilous road to this river.

To God be the Glory

That boat is built to carry people, goods and vehicles. It is called PONTU.

You find it in most states close with rivers and no bridges to go across from one location to another. You can find it in Lagos state too.

Why Nigerians don't learn from the experience of junior pope is beyond me to comprehend, is there something innately wrong with we black human brains.

Is this also Tinubu fault?

Their governor spend Billions for Ramadan fasting breaking now see what his citizen are doing then when accident happen those descendants of Lucifer will say it is Tinubu fault, Tinubu should have stand by the River Bank and wear life-jacket for the bus.

PRIMITIVE SOCIETY

It's called buoyancy in science... That's why ships float on water while carrying tonnes of containers

it looks good until mishap occur

They've been doing this for ages

The bus looks very tiny on the boat. They shouldn't have any problem

Can only be In The north
Useless backward savages😡

slaawomirr:
Damnnn niggarrrr

Shebi them wear life jacket...Anyway as far as the uptrust is equal or proportional to the weight of the bus no wahalar...the canoe will float and it won't Submerged

The only water I love is bathroom water

Any other water na no go area for me...a female friend of mine invited me to her marriage that year in on ijaw village in Edo state....o boy when I realize say na River we need to cross. I nor go the marriage..I just ask for her account number wire her small thing
Me will never go close to any water body be it erosion, swimming pool or river

You said this before why repeating again and again. Coward running from water 💦.

This normal now via Ibi

No one is expected or allowed to stay in the bus or any vehicle crossing.

There are 2 crossings of such:
- Ibi river (takes about an hr to cross to Nasarawa state)
- zaki biam (15 mins or so to Benue)

No life jacket o

superCleanworks:


how much did you guys pay for that?

I think around 2,500 to 3,000.

Oh, you are right, Juniir Pope's boat accident was also in the North.

This is a boat not canoe, canoe is by far smaller than this. Op do you even know what is canoe at all? Canoe that only one person (and sometimes maximum of 2 people) can sit on a row, how can that carry a bus?

If something happens now, Dem go say na God

Nysc made me do this back then, I camped in Taraba state , passed through same

This is a Suicide mission

Zonefree:

Market boats carry heavier loads than that vehicle.

Common view in the Asian region...not new

They don't allow anyone to sit inside bus, I've crossed that Ibi river how many times sef?

THEIR LIFE JACKET NA THE BUS

I GUESS

You never see anything... that canoe carries two cars ie J5 loaded with goods. Even coaster bus.
I have passed that route severally. My only problem is that no life jacks there and the government hasn't done anything to promote safety of passengers by enforcing the use of life jacks
