Don't miss an opportunity to be educated. You won't find this opportunity around you. Don't tuck your tail in and run like a scared little dog. Face the issues you raised and let us talk about safety and enforcement. Offer solutions and let's debate it. DMerciful: |

F117nighthawk: Don't mind him, which one is "you talk as if you don't live in Lagos". Can't rules be followed, are lagosians cowards that they can't obey simple instructions They have warned them no night travel, they wouldn't hear. I usually use the falomo jetty terminal, immediately it's 5:40 pm, they stop, they don't encourage night travels for safety. But some drivers and passengers in some other terminals will not listen, they want to tempt the devil � |

Those that died in that boat mishap are all related family members, they are said to be travelling to ibeshe for the sallah celebrations. Four of the children that died belong to a one parent, their mom is said to have gone for hajj pilgrimage at the holy mosque in Mecca, and she has not be told about the tragedy. Can you just imagine the huge shock and sorrow awaiting her at home? The elderly man that died in that boat mishap is an Islamic cleric, he is the financial secretary of kuje amuwo central mosque. When the news of their death filtered in the whole neighborhood was just wailing, but that didn't even stop the sallah celebrations a bit. |

How can you risk your life to ride a boat without safety measures in place? None of them is wearing life jacket including the children, the adults made wrong decision for them. 2 Likes |

F117nighthawk:If you don't live in Lagos then you don't deserve to make this statement. Lagos state banned bikes without providing alternative to ease movement. Imagine you closed from work 4pm and spend 2-4 hours waiting for bus to your destination, I bet whatever alternative you see after 4 hours of waiting you'll take it. Using boat without life jacket is what I'm against. |

They chose to commit suicide. Disobedience and ignorance have killed more humans than than anything else. |

So unfortunate. I have use that same route for about 5 times, and I like using it coz is faster than road. Henceforth I wont use it, though we usually wear life jackets. May the passengers be find safely |

powerblaze:The best boats for waterways transport are reserved for the elites in Lagos State. I advised them to buy hovercrafts which Lagos State purchased during the military administration. No single boat mishap. Sometimes, I wonder if the present political office holders are humans or demons, because they don't like obedience to good governance. 1 Like |

That's always the problem with u Nigerians, always justifying what is bad because government put a ban on it, is Okada transportation a decent mean of transportation, where in the world will u see Okada as a means of transportation in a metropolitan city,before Okada came were people not moving around? Do u even love your life at all, is it not when u are alive u will even go to work? I live here in Lagos and I go to work by boat sometimes, I see all the rubbish people do when they board these boats even late night and even rushing in the dark for God sake even without life jackets, what kind of human beings are u nigerians haba quote author=Offpoint1 post=114586702] If you don't live in Lagos then you don't deserve to make this statement.

NIWA Lagos manager said the night rules were broken. People will always break laws. The question is what has NIWA been doing to enforce the rules? NIWA is the root of this problem ... lack of enforcement period.... just waiting for the next accident to explain why people died.... and the masses will pile the blame on the boat operator. |

jmoore: How can? I use the ferry sometimes, it's technically impossible for all commuters not to wear life jacket. Infact it is compulsory at the jetty. Those who don't wear jacket are those boys who work there. I got to know that one full family except one was lost in the accident. |

F117nighthawk:Where do you see justification? If you don't want people to use elevator to a skyscraper building, simply provide a staircase. You don't cut off access to the elevator before you start building staircases, you build staircase first before you cut off access to the elevator. If you failed to do the necessary thing people will be forced to climb the building via the windows and walls regardless of the danger it imposes. |
