Is that a loaf of bread or life jacket.

Such a sorry way to die.

May their souls rest well.
The loaf of bread probably weighed them down instaed of acting like a life jacket.

High time the Bonny-Bodo Bridge as promised by Fashola is delivered. That River route is only for bravehearts if you travel via community boat.

even with life jacket they were still drowned?
this life tire me I swear
That thing is not a life jacket..it's a floater for tank cleaning in the oil servicing industry..a proper life jacket will keep you afloat whether you can swim or not..all these boat owners will go to those oil servicing coys and buy their used floaters and then flaunt it as a life jacket..below is what a life jacket looks like.

Lessons To Learn:

1, If you live around areas that support water transport and you want to be an active user or are already an active user, please invest in a life jacket.

2, They go for sale on aliexpress.com as from N6000.

3, Low budget jackets go for as low as N6000 and high budget jackets go for N28000 and above.

4, Asides life jackets, there are other water safety gadgets you should invest in.

nothing works in this country under this satanic APC
It's quite unfortunate that we as a country have lost our sense of decency because of money politics. Today even religious body find it difficult to preach the truth because of fear of loosing members. I plied this waterway for over 3 years until March this year. The jetty managed by the local authority enforces the use of "lifejackets" but the quality of the lifejackets provided will be a story for another day. I managed to get one lifejacket for my personal use to aid my journeys. Even with this, on one occasion (January this year) my boat was attacked by sea pirates of which we were drop off boat but to the glory of God we were rescued. Why this epistle? I wonder why any reasonable human being will blame Buhari for this! This waterway has been in existence before Nigeria gained her independence, Buhari just awarded the construction of Bonny - Bodo road to Julius Berger, as I speak, work is ongoing on the site. Meanwhile PDP ruled

So the so-called 'Life-Jacket' doesn't really save lives. Probably expired vest materials.

Lifejeck saves if only a drowning person without lifejacket did not grab you and refused to let you go. If that happens, both of you are going down.

Even that one can still keep her afloat horizontally if she put it on properly. This one you attached is the best because it can keep one afloat in a near vertical position. Perhaps someone that wasn't wearing lifejacket dragged the woman down with him/her.

Did they not know how to swim? Why they drowned? This man had no life jacket.

Konrad, who played for the Miami Dolphins from 1999 to 2004, had been around boats since his childhood on Boston's North Shore. So he knew what it meant when he fell off his 31-foot Grady-White while fishing alone nine miles from land.

"A boater's nightmare," he said.

He swam to Palm Beach, covering a distance of 27 miles before ringing the doorbell of an oceanfront home for help at 4:30 a.m. Thursday.
