So sad. Nigerians are acutely averse to safety measures for some bizarre reasons, and this isn't just about water transportation. We just love to put ourselves at risk of mortal harm for no good reason. You see artisans doing construction work on scaffolds of high-rise buildings with no safety harness on. There are just a handful of jetties that make life-jackets compulsory for ferry and boat passengers. The state govts do not regulate these local jetties, and yet every month boat mishaps happen. All it takes to avoid accidents like this one is to strap a life-jacket on, and yet we don't do it, and instead fill the boat beyond capacity and pray nothing happens along the way. |

This is sad but preventable tragedy. Most times we regard it as an act of God & life goes on. But then, there are people whose negligence & incompetence caused such tragedy, who should face criminal prosecution. |

Saw this news late Monday and not even a single condolence to the people of Kwara from the government. All we are busy with is NASS leadership. Very very Sad, a whole 103 people. |

Why will anyone who don't know how to swim get on a boat in Nigeria? Swimming should be part of extracurricular activities in every school in this country honestly. RIP to the dead, and may God console their loved ones. |
