[color=indigo]a boat carrying 85 persons. this is beyond ridiculous. many deaths in Nigeria are easily avoidable...so unnecessary. this happens over and over again because the law has been sleeping thanks to our lullaby politicians and government heads.

then again, my heart breaks at the rate at which people die in Nigeria. what bothers me more is whether this people died prepared for eternity because eternity is the real life, not our earthly years here.

We don't know the capacity of the boat.

Impossible many anambra indigenes that use boat by this time of flood can swim, there is noway such a number will die in one boat . It's impossible I don't believe it except govt want to use the news for another thing.

[color=indigo]very true, but the fact that it capsized may underscore the negligence of the boat operator in the aspect of ignoring the capacity of the boat. overweight of passengers must have caused the boat to tilt over.[/color]

On a topic of a boat mishap involving majority of igbos, almost everyone was dropping condolence message, that is the first comment bringing Tinubu and supporters into it. Yet, your eyes didn't notice it, exactly how you pretend not to see your ilk insult others, but have eyes to see how others insult you.

Throwback:
Proper safety equipment could have saved lives despite the boat capsizing.

In a sane country, 76 people dying would call for a national emergency, but not in Nigeria where life has remained worthless.

Almost as if successive governments are deliberately indifferent to the multiple avenues for the loss of human lives, as a means to curtail our population.

RIP to the departed.
there is no where in the world where NATIONAL emergency would be declared for such a careless accident with no regard for safety measures, an engine BOAT carrying 86 people for goodness sake! not a medium size ship but an open boat! anyway lets wait for the state Government to declare emergency first! may Almighty GOD grant the departed eternal rest. amen

Ewu, if you want to empathize with the victims, you do it without wailing. Your saner climes experience worse disasters regularly, and I wonder why they don't have solution to do what you are saying.
In a sane country, there would be proper safety regulations that govern water transportation.

The type of vessel, the capacity, safety equipment for survival, etc

In a sane country 76 people cannot just die from an accident and the conditions that led to it would be allowed to prevail for another future accident.

Can't they mandate life jackets for all these boats?

These incidents are becoming too rampant.

And several go unreported.

How does a little engine boat carry 85 people for crying out loud?? And with no safety life jackets?? : undecided

Boat travel should be properly regulated.

Can a local boat carry up to 80+ people is that not too much....


omo the risk wey people dey take for this part of d world u go think say dem get 2 live..
They were likely being evacuated from there flooded community that is already submerged. But with that large crowd, it would have made sense to stay put as that's instant danger worse than the flood itself.

Death is cheap in nigeria. The kind of unavoidable things we see is crazy. Just imagine this tragedy. I wish I can see the kind of boat they use. Unfortunately, no one is query. Life goes on and this is how nonchalant the country has been recently.
