Am telling you bro,

my Oga had even became aware about me being afraid of water,

And Am working as an Apprentice to Marine Communication equipment

Nice career you’re undertaking bro!

dreofGod:
I LLLLOVE THIS KIND OF JOURNEY. OP, thanks for the entertainment and I really appreciate your knowledge of the vessel mechanism and operation. Please OP and anyone here who has an idea, is there water transportation for places like Lagos to Port-harcourt, Lagos-Asaba e.t.c.?

I don’t know. But I think there should be, however, why would anyone wish to under take such risk?

Mimizebi:
.
I used speed boat from Nembe to Brass (Bayelsa State) hmm it was not funny at all and it was my first time using water transportation

Na you know Wetin you find go enter speed boat.

nesphil:
A life jacket can help keep one afloat only if you know how to use it.

It's one of the many Life-Saving Appliances that are mandatory for use onboard by the IMO International Convention for the Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS'74) as amended.

Okay. Thanks for informing me.

do4luv14:
Bro's you try,


I fear those waters than anything, I fear them pass woman self,

But it get times, one had no choice but to travel through them,


Those speed boats, I had ac9travel in them from Kirikiri to cotonue, Omo I was busy singing and praying in my heart throughout the ride

Dear fear

Foodie1:
Omo where una dey get mind to enter water, I can't try this, even ordinary gutter sef dey scare me, what if the mami water wey dey inside that water come vex??

aieromon:
Passenger capacity?

30

EmiDon11:
while going,pls dont forget life jacket.
We dont want to loose u.

Life jackets may or may not help one float. It’s only for easy identification of bodies during rescue mission.

aieromon:
Did you get permission to take these pictures?

No, unfortunately. I just took them on my own will.

aieromon:
Well detailed. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks

It's the under currents. Those very good swimmers did not factor in the undercurrents. I lost a cousin who was an excellent swimmer to those kind of aquatic accidents. Got to a new location and didn't think to evaluate the under currents before diving in (because it looked calm up top)

Wow!

cuteboy2:
Just convert that 50.5 knots to km/hr, that is 94km/hr. Ignore that 158km/hr, it is not correct

Each outboard motor was pushing 50 knots and 51knots respectively. After doing the math I was not convinced but hey! That was what I saw at the top left corner of the LCD display.

airsaylongcome:
I guess this is in response to my post about speed tracking apps. I'm not sure they require internet

I need internet to download such app na

id4sho:
Baba, you mean Nigerian waterways and no potholes experience.

Vawulense no Dey suppose enter River o!

airsaylongcome:
I don't know if that particular one had dangerous under currents. But that's the first I try to find out when I come across super calm water bodies. Still waters they say runs deep. The locals often know if the under currents are treacherous or not

Well, part of the horrible stories I heard was about how very very good swimmers drowns when a boat capsizes in the river. I also heard about how the River could be very very rough and unstable at times.

airsaylongcome:
Let's do a quick data collection of road accidents vs water and air accidents. You'd find out that a water and air are way safer than road

Never crossed my mind. Also, the Internet reception was not good

Tell him.

airsaylongcome:
A Yoruba what?

I’m a Yoruba

airsaylongcome:
Lol! You should try a pontoon bridge. Went to my village for the first time May last year. Had the shock of my life when we got to a point and we had to disembark and get on a pontoon. Pontoon controlled by a young boy and an old man. I'm not an Olympic swimmer although I'm comfortable in water and can get on my back to stay afloat. I was scared stiff on the 5 minute ride across the river because in my experience, the undercurrents in those river are never revealed by their seemingly calm surface

Wait, let me get you clearly, do you mean this water body I passed has under currents that are dangerous?

herkeem:
Okay boss. I have a channel and would like to start doing travelling videos this year. Any advice?

No advice!

erico2k2:
ahahah if that Rolls reach Okirigwe by total E nor fit pass

Na terrain and cost of repairs to damaged parts go be the limiting factor. Not that the car can’t do such trips on its own power. However, the Cullinan will do exactly well just as a Range Rover.

bro4u:
Na u know wetin u dey talk here boss

Lol. Those are technical data and terms for those gearheads

herkeem:
Bro you have a YouTube channel?

No, I don’t for now.

Envick:
How many minutes did the ride take

45mins via ferry on the average.

symbianDON:
really enjoyed reading your travelogue except that the pictures were stopped. You write well. I love boat travels myself.

Thanks, I appreciate.

spencekat:
MT.Westmore was anchored at Beecroft crossing.

Okay, kindly explain more about this Beecroft Crossing please. I wish to learn.

Topmaike007:
Please help me greet uncle bassey and Edet and his children when you see them oo last time we saw eachother he was at Oron

Okay sir.

Lanshile:
The reason why I love road trip if im the one driving is that my faith is in my hand
Besides land is the only place we can survive cos that is our habitual residence
If plane crash man cannot withstand the excess air intake and of boat or ship drown the salt water intake is a problem and also drowning
Op road transportation is the best

Air transport is very very safe. I prefer the air transport lately. I used to look forward to long distance driving but at the moment, I don’t advice such because of the security situation of the country and the state of our highways.

id911:
Op, are you from Oron? That's my place.

No, I’m a Yoruba
Your kingdom is lovely I must say.

Marpol:
That's my company vessel. Wow

Wow, that’s nice.

sooperrescue:
Rolls Royce wey nor fit comot from Lagos go sapele unless you put am for back like baby, wetin come prestigious for their body? Happy new year.

Na owners decide to flat bed those cars, not because they’re not capable of traveling.
