And despite the fact that all the passengers were wearing life jackets, one person drowned and his life jacket was seen floating around. Other passengers were rescued. The body of the missing person is yet to be recovered.
This incident occurred barely a month after another passenger boat capsized around the Bonny Camp bridge in VI, killing 25 year old LIB reader, Claire-belle Udodirim Edozie .
You see the life jackets they give on boats...they need to do something about it. I wore one one time and I knew without any doubt that if there was a mishap, it wouldn't save me. Since then I vowed never to enter any passenger boat in this obodo Nigeria. I can't swim so I can't shout!
Is there anything safe in Nigeria?

Deletelike seriously?
And to think you read English in Unilag really baffles me.

All d life jackets re fake nd can't save wenever dere is mishap.Gov sud do sometin abt dis.Linda pls wetin I do u ?u no dey post my comment
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:49 you so very dumb !! its amazing how we trivialize issues. What has your PDP & GEJ Or Orisa got to do with this. The life jackets are given just for the sake of it, nobody checks the conditions of those things. WHY are we the way we are ? did God give us a different brain from other humans? A life is lost and someone is making jokes and people are making pointless comments. Mcheeewww
ReplyDeleteyou should complain about the life jacket when they gave you one ,maybe that might have saved the life of the missing passenger instead of whining now that you will never enter boat in Nigeria again. You fall my hand linda

ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with you? So she doesn't have the right to choose never to go in a boat? The fact that you have no choice doesn't mean the same applies to her. Bitter people!

ReplyDeletewhat a fake country with fake things. Nigeria go better yet we are loosing people everyday. Deris God o. Thank God i have phobia for water sha. God will kuku help us all.
ReplyDeleteLinda darling, God's protection sure pass! You cannot swim, you cannot shout, you cannot enter boat in obodo Nigeria again! Do you think it ends there? For me I travel by boat everyday to go to work! Me too, I cannot swim. People in the news sit down in front of the computer and die too, people pass that road you pass everyday and die too, people stay in their homes relaxing and the building collapse. Where can you run to? Please let's stop ignorant comments, it doesn't make you better than the next person!
ReplyDeleteWhat's your problem? You sound so bitter. Linda has a right to decide never to travel by boat in Nigeria. That is her choice. You are a very bitter person. What's ignorant about her comment?
DeleteAmmy u r right jare..dnt mind dis bitter anonymous calling someone bitter...why cant ya libers think straight. Ekume(Old Tortoise)!
DeleteNothing is safe in nigeria.... One has to take time and learn how to swim!
ReplyDeleteVEry sad. R.I.P
ReplyDeleteMay the missing one be found in Jesus name. Amen.
