Useless country. They are never prepared for emergency. Always running from pillar to pole when it happens. Just look at 16 people wasted just like that.... |

Sadly they even forced the boat pilot to drive them. And it's even bad timing cos it's very late even if it was in the USA it would be hard to save everyone cos it's very late in the night 10pm. Rip to the dead 1 Like |

remmy9: 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. 4 Likes |

to issue life jacket passengers is now a big deal. Those authorities uncharged of Lagos waterways should make it compulsory for these operators to have life jackets that will be enough for passengers in their boats. |

Before we begin to blame authorities, I use that route once in a while, they close by 6.00pm. I remember one day when I got there by 2mins after 7pm, despite my pleading and offer to pay 3 Times the usual fare, they insisted that they were closed and do not operate after closing hours. Also life jacket if compulsory along that route. No passenger is allowed on boats without a life jacket. So this 10pm trip is fishy and by all indications illegal. Something is definitely not right 3 Likes |

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!!! 2 Likes |

Those waters are unlighted at night, no buoys, no traffic separation scheme. Smart people should avoid boarding boats at nights. |

What sort of rubbish is this from Lagos State? Why are they talking about the waterways without ensuring safety? |
Re: Lagos Boat Capsize: Pregnant Woman Dies, 16 Missing In (photos) by Nobody: 11:53pm On Jun 30, 2019 |
as usual, no regulation. Settle area boys and officials and you are free to operate with no consideration for safety. |

mctfopt: 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. |

Ecne:the jetty closes at 6 or 7. Cant remember . From my friend who lives near there. The passengers got there and could not get a boat as it had closed. They then saw this boat coming from repair shop and they begged him till her agreed to carry them. The rest is history. |

princeogbeide1:we are very good at not obeying any laws. We know the law is there, but we will not obey it. Pirating softwares, pirating music, paying workers below minimum wage (Do you know anyone who can take care of his transport, rent and feeding for N18,000? What of N30,000, what of N50,000?) Is it not more of N100,000 that makes actual sense? We know what is right but keep on doing what is wrong. Then later act surprised when things go bad 1 Like |
