Oya jobless people come and protest o........

lilfreezy:


They won't come out and protest. They won't hold government accountable to make things work better, if it's coza they will come out in numbers to protest instead of going to court.

It is obvious the waterways need stringent regulations if it must be kept safe.

By now we should have active Coast Guards securing the water ways. The boats / ferries should have an SOP that they are inspected on just like on the highways.

Every passenger must wear live jackets as a minimum. Boats should not depart from the terminals (and should be stopped on the water ways) unless all their passengers are wearing functional live jackets. Confiscation and Heavy fines for violations should be applied.

In fact each boat must carry extra live jackets for emergencies as a rule!!!

crackhouse:
Useless country. They are never prepared for emergency. Always running from pillar to pole when it happens.

What happens to giving out life jacket to passengers? For the life of me, I won't enter a boat without one. If they don't have I just don't board. If it is an area I use frequently I'd buy myself one. Most people in this country called Nigeria play with people's lives and safety. My condolences to the people who lost their lives to this tragedy. I hope victim's family get to sue the boat company for negligence.

I don't understand the 3rd pics, why's that man checking the dead woman's pulse in the water? Is this really a rescue team?

Seriously, if they were not given personal floatation devices (PFDs), the boat company and the LASG should be sued for gross negligence and manslaughter by the bereaved families immediately. This should send a strong message to other boat companies and save future lives.

The passengers didn't wear life jackets but the rescue team wore life jackets.
Accidents like this happens when there is no law governing the water ways.
Imagine 16 passengers are still missing. Who knows? they must have drowned. Safety first.
RIP to the dead.

Buy yourself a life jacket if the boat you board don't have one. My friend said people were laughing at him for putting a seat belt because he was at the back of a bus travelling for an 8 hour journey. People don't take safety serious in this country.
