How would five young corp members die at once, this is clearly murder disguised as a mistake by a professional in the game. Quote me anywhere.

Am thinking you should take up the detective work in this 'murder'.

tstx:
Exactly.... During my time my routine was ppa, cds, house, beer parlour... thats all. who zoo or river epp

Abeg those wey trailer go jam for beer parlour or them house nko. Just have the wisdom to understand that death is inevitable and could happen anywhere and any moment. Nothing in life is certain.

jidamsel43:
Death ! why are you so cruel and wicked . Anybody can go to stream or waterfall to catch fun , people should not castigate them because what caused their death was natural disaster and it could happen to anybody at any time.

May Almighty give the families the fortitude to bear the loss .

We love you all but God's love supersede our love.
rest in perfect peace

forewarned is forearmed.

Life itself is risky but do the needful by reducing the risk.

Tokziby:
I blame the Nysc for this except if the corpers didn't heed to their warnings.

In every orientation camp, dangerous issues like these are always discussed and appropriate awareness pasted everywhere so as to avoid stories like this.

Over a decade ago before the POP, a certain woman came out and started pleading with the Corp members that they should take extreme caution with the female indigent of akwa ibom cos of the persistent increase in the number of HIV and Aids in the community. She was seriously begging them not to add to the numbers.

Some boys still didn't heed to it and will be doing bush attack(going to villages to pick up teens with N200 for the weekend).

200 naira or 2,000?

Well! True that!

There was evidently a flash-flood, meaning a sudden massive tidal wave of water, thundering down into the narrow confines of a river valley with steep edges, as a result of heavy rainfall upstream possibly mere hours earlier.

RIP to the dead.. Life itself isn't certain

Brightgem:
Well! True that!

correct!

May their soul rest in peace. I had a terrible water experience in this same taraba state during my service year in lau LGA when we were going to Karim lamido,the teenage boy paddling the local boat lost his paddling stick in the middle of the river,we were stranded,the screams. I was just praying,the boy frantically looking for his stick..thank God he later found it.

Even canal I no dey go bath. There are demons in every river. It is festival when they find new people. The corner would have gone with indigene of the state.

nysc officials and people wey dey sell caskets don be like driver and petrol stations

Don't tell me you don't know this is demonic.

Pls. Can you have a rethink before posting next time! No offense pls. But d fact Dat i do not wear the NYSC kit means I didn't finish my degree or am not a graduate? Or wat exactly are you saying

DCONE1:
Nigeria is not worth serving ....is that an escuse that you didn't go or finish the the university

Biggybambam2:
No life jackets, nothing




In the US, it is a crime to go boating or go to the river without a life jacket

just my thinking, no iota of health and safety awareness, most of these young guys have access to the internet but will not educate themselves in basic precautionary measures on how to behave in a river. No experienced local to lead them, no life jackets....basic common sense will tell me that if am unable to swim and go near a river, I will equip myself with a life jacket.

my condolences goes to the families of the bereaved

The inhabitants there or nearby weren't fair .... Kogin mutuwa n nobody warned the corpers !!!! Allah ya kiyaye!!!

pls can you have a rethink before quoting me next time!!! you re telling me no offence and you are ending your post with angry emoji ... thats an offence.....pay attention,when someone says nigeria is not worth serving , this is a before - acting statement not a after- acting statement....i'm judging based on his statement....not about wearing NYSC kit.......am i communicating.

OgaBuhari:

Yeah it's N200 back in 2007... Villages around Nkpat enim, eket side. These are pupils of Jss and ss with some of them already with kids and multiple boyfriends. They'll even be bragging in class with number of sleeping mates or boyfriends.

Juliusmalema:

Fooling like how?

Nysc is not a must.. It is best for those who intend to work for govt or private sector..

I also know those who went for the service but bought their way thru and left..

So, no big deal, I wont be the first.. Also, u wouldn't know if I did or not..


As for my kids, not going to bring them up with the mindset to work for govt or work for private company..

My cousin sef didn't serve, after his masters in Scotland, my guy no return naija again... So many people are doing it..

Laws were made by the rich for the poor..

So sad, very sad. Rip

ChangeIsCostant:
This is very sad. A new picture has emerged showing the moment some members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) who went on a picnic at a river in Mayo-Sebri village in Gashaka Local Government Council of Taraba state, took a selfie at the venue before drowning moments later.

Nine out of the 23 corps members, who went for a picnic on that fateful day drowned. Seven bodies were recovered the following day and two other bodies recovered some days after.

One of the survivors, a male corps member, narrated the tragedy and how he survived. He wrote: “We went for picnic, 23 of us. We went to a waterfall. That was the first place.

“After taking pictures, we went to another side where there are beautiful rocks with clean water flowing under them. The water was very low though. After taking pictures there, eating and drinking, we were about leaving when someone just shouted seeoooh.

“When we turned, we saw very dirty water coming with so much force and speed, the kind of speed I have never seen in my life, coming from a distance of about 100 metres. We were almost leaving the place but within seconds, the water got to our position. I don’t know how I jumped out.”

Meanwhile, Idris Musa, a resident of Mayo Selbe, disclosed that each year, one to two persons lose their lives in the river, giving rise to the nickname Kogin Mutuwa (Hausa for ‘River of Death’). “The water rushes down with great force and speed once it rains up here,” he said, adding that numerous tragedies have been recorded over the years, but were unreported.
