Perhaps it was on a normal boat cruise. Imagine paying money to go buy your own death. Terrible!

and that's what I'm about doing cos I love tourism especially in the seas

Gossiplover:
Here are pictures of victims who were killed in a boat accident yesterday on Bonny - Bodo Water Ways, Rivers State.

anybody who cannot swim and get travel tru water is mad.no rip

Puppetmaster08:
RIP to d dead
I thank God for my mom's life, she travelled to bonny that yesterday and landed successfully.

She witnessed d stormy weather and rough sea but God saw her through.

why don't they put a bridge through

gaby:
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.

Tourism is fun. Safe trip bro.

EternalTruth:
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.

oh thank u very much for this.
God bless you. I'm enlightened.
one needs to be smart so as to distinguish between the two

The first time I went to koko,I refused to enter the boat ,except they provide me with an original life-jacket (yes there is fake,a navy friend thought me how to identify fake,and the people at the dock know this,but they choose to risk peoples life for cheap things) such is life in Nigeria ,RIP TO THE DEAD,CHEI SEE PRETTY GIRL,INDEED LIFE NOR GET TWO BA

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

d life jacket has expired

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

spiritofthedead:
And me I’m always wearing this thing with confident that nothing would happen to me even if there is any form of accident... so na God Dey save me all this while
#imgrateful

or were celotaped
how possible is that
even with a life jacket on
d life jqcket i know

always xl or xxl in size
dis aint no lufe jacket
nigeria is cursed for life

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.

why don't they put a bridge through

I don't know o

D river is so big.

I don't think it is an easy tin to do.

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.
