They ought to have a floating fuel station in that axis.
They have and even black market sellers along that route, and that's why they were able to refuel on time and continue the journey. I know, because I have lived in Lagos before.

But I don't think the lady has given a true account of what actually transpired. It could be engine failure and not fuel getting finished.

It doesn't make sense a ferry being used
commercially departs a jetty without enough fuel to get to its destination.

Mrtaye:
Will fuel finish inside plane mid air
Yes, it can . It has happened or almost happened in the past.

For instance, if poor visibility due to by bad weather makes it difficult for a plane to land on time, fuel can get exhausted or get so low as the pilot continues to fly round the airport for it to clear up

Engine fault can also cause fuel getting exhausted mid air.

But I only made reference to planes because you said anything could happen.

And airplanes aren't immune to accidents caused by human error. Are they?

So what are you talking about?

Water transportation is the safest amongst the three means of transportation in any part of the world

How often do you hear that a boat, not the rickety ones, has capsized ?

The only reason some persons are scared of boarding ferrys is due to their fear of water and not because it's riskier.

If I live in Lagos and have to choose between going on a ferry or car, I will choose the former. It's safer

Let me analyse your post again

triplechoice:
She wasn't at any risk ,but probably because of her phobia for wild body of water she thought she was .

She was at risk in a body of water. And yes, der phobia can put others at risk. In the early 90s, comedians used road or plane accidents as comedy material until 9/11 and the multiple plane crashes that happened when Obasanjo was in power. What was the joke about? How men or women, Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba react when there is an accident scare? They even used 2face material that nobody wan die but we wan go heaven. There is a risk sir.



triplechoice:
The boat wasn't leaking

I am not an expert so I cannot say anything on this but if something preventable like fuel was not checked, I don't trust their quality assurance checks.



triplechoice:
It wasn't experiencing any severe turbulence as they waited for fuel

You have a good observation here. This is where customer service works. What is the update? How did the boat operators manage the sutiation to assure passengers that all was wellhuh



triplechoice:
And moreover, she had a Life jacket on.

Hello sir, a life jacket is a temporary emergency equipment. It's not a life jacket as you think it is. It doesn't mean you can't die with a life jacket on. We don't even know how medical conditions, people can die in water or the fear of water, which is real.




triplechoice:
So what was there to be afraid of that she had to record it and post on social media to spoil business for the ferry owners?

Or was she afraid that some "mamy water" would capsize the boat?

Well, Instead of refusing her boarding, the managers of the ferry should have educated her that there was nothing to be afraid of in the situation they found themselves so she could stay calm incase it happens again.

I agree with your last paragraph but if the boar operators were serious, they will also have live recording and monitoring of their operations. It helps in investigations too.
We live in an era of citizen journalism. That's why I put the Delta air crash video on my last post. It was recorded by a passenger who was in the flight despite the fact that it was an accident. Was that spoiling the business of Delta Airlines even though the airports have cameras everywhere?
You don't get yet

I said the fear she expressed was her own personal emotional reaction to the situation which she tried to justify with reason. There was nothing to be afraid of. She obviously has phobia for large water bodies and that was what she focused on and recorded and posted on social media.

If I were on that boat ,I certainly wouldn't react they way she reacted . I'm used to it and know when it can be risky to be stranded.

I have boarded planes in the past that experienced serious turbulence in the air to the extent some passengers cried, said their last prayers, or even fainted, but I wasn't bothered much during those times because it something I have become used to.

So please, don't to use the lady's account
of the incident to judge they were at risk.

You haven't heard from the other passengers or the management of the ferry to know exactly what happened.

JuanDeDios:
At bolded. Na which one we dey talk before?

I believe they endangered the lives of the passengers by taking off with insufficient fuel. There are usually no petrol stations in the water, so once you're stranded there, you rely on luck to find another boat with extra fuel or you call for a refuelling boat which may not be anywhere nearby at the time. If a heavy vessel happens to pass, the waves can capsize the boat. Rain can also start falling, followed by wind, which can capsize the boat. Yes, they had life jackets, but those have been known to fail. Some passengers will even wear them wrongly. Even when worn correctly, they can fail.
Oga

Have you heard from the management of the ferry before concluding on what made the boat to stop midway?

It's not uncommon for boats to stop halfway or any other time on a journey. It happens all the time and people who ply it regularly are used to it

Boats don't just capsize because they suddenly stop due to fuel shortage or engine failure.

Or do they capsize because of strong waves made by other passing boats or vessels.

If the boat is leaking and overloaded when it stops, then there's something to be afraid of.

When it rains, they usually provide something to cover with and sometimes the ferry are built with a covering for passengers to hide .

Honestly you're talking from inexperience. If you go to say the things you have been saying here to those used to boarding boats everyday in Lagos and elsewhere in the country, they would laugh at you to the extent you feel very embarrassed.

When the airplane crash lande



Please don't trivialize transportation risk. Anything can happen even to the best of the best in water
I didn't trivialize anything but put things in the right perspective for others to understand she wasn't any such risk in the situation she described.

Following your reasoning that anything could happen, one could also warned that people don't board planes or even vehicles since accidents happen.

JuanDeDios:
A lot of people would die inside several times in that situation. And some would make videos to pass the time and cope with the trauma.
Those who would die "a several times" are those not used to that kind of situation and have phobia for large water bodies. I know because I have lived in a riverine area where the only means of transportation was boats and sometimes even canoes.

She wasn't the only one in the boat and I don't think she was traumatized as you think if not she wouldn't go there the next day to board again. She overacted based on who she's and you're now joining her to escalate things without mentioning how exactly she was at risk.

But why are you not concerned about the the total irresponsibility of the boat managers and their reckless endangerment of human lives? This was not an act of God.
How did they endangered her life? Tell me please

And have heard from the management of the ferry before concluding they acted irresponsibly.

Don't judge yet until you hear from the other party.

I don't think you are fine. It's not your fault it's all because you have a job that is giving you over 200k salary

How many people in Lagos has a job paying more than 120k salary even for Bsc holders

This is reality so stop typing nonsense
The person you replied to has issues she's living in denial of.
She's not taking any responsibility for her own life yet she's quick to criticize others for not being responsible for theirs

She's jobless in the US and has refused to engage in any meaningful activity to pay her own bills.

When you call her out for indolence and irresponsibility,the next thing, is to reply that she's happily unemployed and enjoying it .

It's this same refuse -to - work individual with a lot of issues of her own surviving on crumbs from social welfare in the US that's now
taking it upon her self to villify another man, and even the wife lying in the morgue for irresponsibility .

Just imagine the irony!.

Well , I won't be surprised if one of these days Donald Trump turns his attention on individuals like her who don't want to work and contribute their own through paying taxes so others can benefit.

Live is ups and down . The unexpected can happen which can render one's preparedness completeness useless. Money is not everything . We regularly see how sometimes it disappoints those who rely totally on it like a god. Humanity is the only reliable thing that will never fail us in trying times and not the millions or even billions we have in the bank.

The only thing the man did wrong was to take the wife to the unaffordable private health facility where they were refused treatment.

But you cannot really blame him. It was an emergency situation. Mother and child were dying and the nearest place he could think of was the private clinic. But unfortunately, the hospital refused attending to them obviously because of past experience from others who absconded.

If he had the presence of mind to rush the wife to a public health facility which he could afford,and the wife died on the way while attempting that, the same heartless humans some of who aren't even married nor have any experience given birth will still be the ones to blame the him for not going first to a private clinic that's closer .

Who knows? They might have gotten some help that would have save mother and child.
Yes. That's what they would been saying .

So many heartless and mentally unbalanced individual crawling this forum.

Some keep using their school fees or even food money to bet

So many atrocities people are committing against their own self

One cannot give what one doesn't have.
Christianity EtcRe: Do You Love Your Neighbours As Yourself? by triplechoice(m): 10:50am On Apr 06, 2025
Yes

Loving your neighbours as yourself doesn't mean being nice to them all the time.

There's what's called tough love . For instance, angrily reprimanding a neighbour who's doing something very wrong may make them change their behaviour for the good .

Another, is to allow your neighbours learn from their mistakes especially when they won't listen to your advice.

It was a shock result at Bernebeau stadium the home ground of Real Madrid and I mean the mighty Real Madrid as they were beaten by lowly Valencia by 2 goals to 1.

People that use to bomb small odds with one million naira will be the worst hit as they won't know what hit them aa they want to make 359,000 naira in 90 minutes with one million naira.
In this game there are no guarantees especially as the season is coming to an end with most of the players already tired.
It was quite a disastrous day in the betting world.
Forget betting for now and let's talk only about football.

In my opinion, yesterday's results between Madrid and Valencia wasn't a shock.

Having played two energy sapping matches in a matter of days, against leganes and Real Sociedad in which they conceeded 6 goals ,with one of the them going into extra time, the team from Madrid were expected to take it easy yesterday in order save energy for their match against Arsenal in the champions League next week.

And that was what they did and because of that lost against a team fighting relegation.

The team from Valencia saw the match as winnable due to the tiredness and lack of focus of the Madrid players.

And so, played the game of their lives to come out victorious. It was an opportunity they knew they couldn't afford the miss.

The best option for the match was both team to score and not Madrid to win. They weren't in a position to win it at all except by luck.

Tax. Americans pay the hell out of tax.

All hospitals make money. NHS United kingdom is is the single largest public hospital in the world.
How do they sustain?
Through tax.
Every working individual both pensioners are taxed. The money is used to run the affairs of NHS which runs in billions every year. Even at that, the NHS is greatly overwhelmed and subcontracting to private hospitals. There are cases they will tell you that you have to pay for it like some surgeries.

Do you pay any tax in Nigeria?
I'm not condemning the American social welfare system as you think.

The comment I made was addressed to someone here who has been taken undue advantage of it for years without any attempt on her part to work and pay taxes for others to benefit the same way she has been benefiting

She's always proud to say she's happily unemployed in the US. How can such person still open their mouth to criticize others who are not sitting at home idly but doing everything to fend for themselves and their dependants.
As for me paying taxes in Nigeria?

I will only speak for myself. I pay it every month from salary both paye tax and contributory health scheme .It's deducted from source.

Exactly what I was thinking while reading the report.

Majority of Nigerians are still asleep and not conscious of what's being done to them by the neocolonial masters who are desperately seeking to re enslave them under the guise of giving them the best the British has to offer.

Who says we cannot do it better?

Allowing the the British to set up primary schools in Nigeria is an unfortunate abdication of the responsibility we have as Nigerians to train our own children.
