Ouch. I once took that boat ride. Why get on a boat without a ‘life jacket’
Factors that contributed to this occurrence include the leaky boat, poor condition and integrity of the vests, poorly maintained engines resulting in the engine going off during the trip, fuel finishing before they got back to shore, little or no supervision by management, poor regulation and monitoring.(Copied)

Its important to know how to swim, its an essential skill and its also relaxing.

Too bad. I still don't understand why these people were not wise enough to insist on life Jackets. Anansa don collect her own. May their soul rest well in the bosom of anansa

Death is NEVER guilty

Why on such cruise without life-jacket?

RIP to the dead.

1) Those things camouflaging as life vests on most commercial vessels are toys and shouldn’t be trusted with your life.

2) Insist on not going on bodies of water if you don’t have your own high quality individually fitted life jacket that has a crotch strap.

You’ll just die wrongfully and they’ll carry your body go police station. Water is unforgiving,

It's a pity, Nigerians and their disregard for safety. What would it cost the vessel operators to buy life jacket for their passengers. May God comfort their families.
Same thought

It's sad these young people had to leave this world like this cry .

RIP. To the dead but then we need to learn from this ..


Why go on water excursion at this rainy season when ocean tide is high?

Were they all on life jacket, and if yes, were they life jacket valid or expired?

Did they overload the boat or not?

We need to look into all these and more in order to avoid a repeat ... These types of deaths are avoidable....

Water!!!
I don't joke with anything that has to do with water. I neither swim nor take a boat ride. My phobia for water is above 1000%. May God rest their soul. Amen!

Life is fragile.
It's very very easy to die.

Don't lose your life foolishly.

Don't prove Charles Darwin right with your life.

It's even wrong to go sailing in those waters during the rainy seasons.

Life jackets would have prevented this tragedy.
The annoying thing is that at the end of the day, life goes on & no one is made to face manslaughter charges.
There are different life jackets used on water, what the the operators of cruise boat have for passengers @ Marina resort is not a standardized jacket that could keep one afloat for a reasonable time in case of eventuality.

My brother, a life jacket will keep you afloat on water for days. Any jacket that can't perform this primary function is NOT a Life Jacket.
