Iran has a lot of faith in Israels' air defence to turn this barrage of missiles into a "warning shot" rather than all out war.

I hope they have similar faith in Tehran own air defence

Itsrm:
Nah, that famous Kenny Rogders song is beating in my ear drum. I'll rather stay out for now.

Wait make stock market open on Monday, it will bring more blood which BTC will likely follow

Jordan has been shooting down some drones

Iran should hope none of the cruise missiles get through iron dome though because Israel go use am as excuse to demonstrate

Ballzproblem2:
exhaust una

Make we dey see. I feel say Iran go climb down before matter go out of hand. The question is whether Israel will use these attacks as reason to bomb Iran nuclear facilities directly

Na Israel wants this war pass Iran and USA cos dem want clear those nuclear facilities

boring retaliatory attack

These drones are supposed to exhaust Israel air defence missiles before the heavy stuff that will follow later

Make Iran calm down

BlueRayDick:
🤦‍♂️

Who Dey advise these guys sef ?

Person wey dem dey accuse of being complicit in an accident investigation that may end up going to a criminal trial is openly admitting he bought 20k loud ?

😂

Okafor is still in shock

Well the boat driver is still culpable because he was wearing headphones and never heard them warning him about the canoe in their path, however he would have seen it if Okafor wasn't standing up

Emaprince:
For some one that doesnt know how to swim, you cant expect presence of mind in this moment of intense panic.

There is no way some one that doesnt know how to swim can survive this. The panic alone will drown them quick.

You missed the point. The skill needed to stay afloat till they were rescued only takes 10 mins to learn. Go to swimming pool and ask coach to teach you how to tread water, you'll probably learn it in one session. I know how non swimmers panic when they enter water, one of them nearly killed me in his state of panic before.

GrammarNazi1:
This is a different version from what TC Okafor, one of the actors, said. TC Okafor said he saved the girl.

Some of the survivors what to arrogate the power or fame of a hero to themselves.

How will TC Okafor that doesn't know how to swim and in a state of great panic save the girl?

I'd rather believe the driver who probably carried the girl to the hull of the boat to hang on, which is where TC Okafor was holding onto the rope.

TC Okafor that alleged he was nearly arrested because the boat driver told Police he was standing at the bow of the boat obscuring his view of the canoe, and denied he was standing. Meanwhile I've since seen many videos of TC Okafor standing like below. Anything TC Okafor is saying is in doubt due to his panicked state of mind, plus he even confessed using N20k to buy loud at the end of the movie shooting

Boat driver done drop interview say Jnr Pope refused to hire lifejacket saying it is producer responsibility

It was actually a minor accident and the boat driver says he saved the girl. The others drowned from simply not knowing how to swim rather than accident.

The simple technique of treading water (kicking down and flapping your hands from time to time) to stay afloat can be learned in 10 mins. It's a big shame that lives should be lost for lack of this.

You can actually tread water for up to 8 hours or more if you capsize in the middle of nowhere while waiting for rescue. With floating technique and treading water. I'm sure some will be able to do 24 hours

Ballzproblem2:
Gordon is right winger sha

Left winger, right footed

Ballzproblem2:
will you pick him over palmer for euros?

Gordon is first team for me on left wing as he is a perfect balance for Kane as Kane needs runners in behind. Palmer doesn't even make my Euros squad.

Leyqute:
Tremendous lad. He’s on CK duties today tho and his assist for Schaar was a corner.

Na livescores I dey

Golden boy Gordon on 23 GA with no penalties or set pieces

That should be one of if not the best, excluding set pieces and penalties

popizaino:
Then you will see people like swiz123,user09,coming to defend Tuchel style saying that innocent Haaland is not pressing very well and as a first touch of an Eyimba player.

This prediction was made in 2022 and it came true

swiz123:
Bros
I don't need to be told that Jackson will be better than Haaland if he played for Chelsea. Haaland with his abysmal general play will be irritating to watch in this our useless team.

Olowunl01:
Nigerian Govt and victimisation, 6months without option of fine? Hope he gets a good lawyer to appeal this nonsense.
I don't agree or like his nonsense but he shouldn't be victimised.
Haba ontop everything that's going wrong in this country, he is the one EFCC want to use and flex muscle?

Spraying money is the new synonym for homosexualïty

I hope Pitobi son wont be arrested for ***spraying money*** on his next visit to Naija

Bloody immigrant

Naija Police don reset Bobrisky to Idris Okuneye without surgery. Baba go need to shave!

If dem pour you acid for face, you won't even think of putting camera on to film yourself washing your face. Nonsense and ingredients

Unlimited22:
Ordinary Nembe waterside or Abuloma Waterside to Okrika, you must wear life jacket

Only God knows how people got on the Niger on an open boat with no safety equipment.

And for a movie shoot no less.

Shoreline to shoreline the river from Abuloma to Okrika is 1 mile wide, same as River Niger in Asaba axis. There is no difference between them if boat spill you in the middle.

raumdeuter:
Did you learn to swim formally through swim school or just from neighbors

Most of us from hinterland never got to swim and till date I avoid water. While working in Naija, we had a work trip to La campaign Tropicana and they divided us into groups for people to go on the sea.

I learned officially at age 4 in swimming pool with a coach. I think it was either Agip or Elf that had a swimming pool in Trans-Amadi area. Then we also lived near various rivers and play with our friends and were members of Shell club where we go every week. Even if you can't swim, it's a must to get your children training.

BlueRayDick:
These speedboat are what people generally refer to as Ferry on Lagos waters and they ate very fast like he claimed.

People living In Ìkoròdu but working at VI or CMS/Marina always prefer it because of its speed, but is very very unsafe. I had one one boss that will park his official and personal cars at home to join these boats cos it saves him from traffic. But each time there's a reported case of a boat mishap ( which happens at least once in 3 months); everybody starts calling his number to check on him hoping his boat was not affected.

People get mind for this country sha. It can never be me

I can't enter covered speedboat

If they take off the cover, no wam, at least man can dive in the water if things go left than be trapped in a cabin

I was sailing in Shetlands once and my boat overturned. It actually overturned many times cos I was still learning to sail. But this time my legs got snagged in the rigging ropes. Till today, I don't know how I undid the ropes from my legs and resurfaced.

I've also had an incident in Amadi Creek near Ipukulu when I was younger. We were playing in the shallows and one of my friend that can't swim got swept out by waves from a passing flying boat. They dredged the river so there was a steep drop off and the wave swept him past the drop off. I went to save him from behind which is the position I had read in encyclopedia for saving a drowning person as below. The nigga panicking turned around, grabbed me and sat ontop of me. So I was kicking underwater while his head was above enjoying fresh air, meanwhile I'm underwater and kicking for both of us. I started losing energy and I don't know how I summoned strength to throw him off me eventually before I could calm him down 2nd time round to take him to shore.

swiz123:
If it moved this slow, how did it move from Ikorodu to VI in 45 minutes?

Another person who uses that Ferry terminal can confirm this.

How many km is a straight line across the sea from Ikorodu to VI? You should be able to work out your speed from there using 45 mins

Is this what you call Ferry? This is a speedboat, not a ferry - but it still won't do 110km/hr, highest 60 to 80

swiz123:
The speedometer app on my phone is 98% accurate on measuring vehicle speed. I assume it will be the same for a ferry.

You can check the Ikorodu ferry terminal that ply Lekki, VI and Ajah routes.

Definitely incorrect. Put it this way, Titanic speed was 23 knots or 42 km/HR when it struck the iceberg and it was going for world record Atlantic crossing. Boat don't move that fast

swiz123:
Last time I used a ferry there, I checked the speed the ferry moved at and it was 110 to 120km/h. Such speed with that rickety boat, my confidence was very low.

I was the last person to come on board and my life jacket was the shabbiest; they had given me a rag.

Check your speedometer again. This is lamba or your fear speaking

Ferry top speed is 20 to 60km/HR (high speed ferry) and the most advanced and fastest ferry in the world has a top speed of 58 knots which is 107 km/hr

Amigoss:
All I see is an Ijaw kids or children of an Olokun playing in the backward ...Your signature is in them

This is common means of transport in our sides. These children probably enter boats regular like this, but if a school proprietor puts them on boat without lifejacket, liability is on her if shït goes left

This boat is fairly safe though, compared to flying boat that Junior Pope entered. Flying boat is like jetta, any small thing, it could overturn

Amigoss:
Omoh,the river is not wide enough? That is rare....

Probably going perpendicular to each other

BlueRayDick:
What's this talk about the Actors Guild of Nigeria cancelling the producer of the movie the Pope guy went for before the unfortunate incident?

How is cancelling her and barring other actors from working with her going to change anything? The video made before the unfortunate incident showed everyone in that video was glad to risk their lives nit wearing life jacket. They were all grinning and smiling making videos without having life jacket on.

I don't think the producer could've forced the life jacket on them. I don't understand why they are making the producer of the movie a scapegoat. It's more like the people are angry and looking for who to transfer aggression to

To be fair, she is responsible for their safety on set and therefore she should have provided life jacket

An eyewitness is reporting it was a crash between two boats so lifejacket may not have saved some individuals anyway. Death could be a result of impact injuries

andrewbaba44:
Chris just returned from injury and wasn’t fully ready that’s why he didn’t start

This your agenda no enter

Make we dey see. I know Barca won't enter new season with Chris as DM so we go see between him and Cubarsi who own that CB spot

swiz123:
They took him back to the river to perform rituals to appease the gods instead of rushing him to hospital.

Africans are battling mental illness caused by religion.

Which tribe dey live near that river? Na Asaba side or Onitsha side wey do this one?

swiz123:
Ibime likes embarrassing himself

Sergi Roberto is back from injury and booted Chris to bench today

Which means the 17 year old Rumuomasi has booted Chris, he was just covering Sergi Roberto injury at DM for a while till Sergi return

andrewbaba44:
Nobody is benching Chris

We have no DM and Chris is our new DM ,since he become our DM we haven’t lost a game

So far he is no longer suffering unexplained belly aches every match day, good on him

Ahn ahn, Junior Pope still finally died

He was revived at the hospital but I guess the damage was too much

Maybe he would have survived if CPR was administered immediately he was fished out of the water
