Re: LASWA Rescues Stranded Boat Passengers (Video & Pictures). by naptu2(op):
The creeks and lagoons in Lagos and Ogun State are usually infested with water hyacinth from around October till early February. The weed often makes water transportation very difficult.

The Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) clears the waterways using these aquatic weed harvesters and manual labour. The water hyacinth is then recycled.

Those are water people they should know about sea weed and when the weed usually come around but due to ignorance and lack of jurisdiction they don't know when sea weed do come or rather they know but chose to ignore it "let's manage it as usual"

How about air transportation?
Do you want to wait until you can fly like a bird before you enter a plane?

I’d flown on air many a time; I just have that phobia for water. May be I was among the passengers inside Titanic during my first life.
