Water bodies suck. One reason i have a phobia for it. Death by drownin is nt play

Learning the basic form of swimming could have saved.

I am sure calls were made the moment the boat began to capsize. Just a survival swimming technique to remain afloat in water till help comes could have saved since there was no lifejacket.

If you have children ages 11-16, make sure they learn how to swim. Once you learn the technique, it remains with you till death.

the producer of that movie should be arrested. And the maker.
"On the other side of life" is the title

River Niger for Christ sake ... Swim from where to where 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 ..... And I believe you haven't swim in a pool all your life

All these popular people doesn’t know how to swim or what exactly?

This obviously means that more than 24hrs after the accident, the government has not down anything

Honestly this country still have a long way to go. If it were to be any developed country, u would see helicopters flying around the scene in less than 1 hour. The African mentality is something else

This is a very preventable death. The movie producer must be arrested. Something life jacket can solve!

Na work full everybody head. People find it hard to create a day to improve themselves on some special skills or activities.


U no see the White? The first time I swam, I nearly ran out of air. Thank God I mastered the technique.

If you are travelling by the river without life jacket, there is a way around that saves life and, it doesn't cost a thing. It's a very effective means of saving your life on a capsized boat whether you can swim or not.

An airtight 10 or 20 litres jerrycan does the magic. It has the capacity to keep one afloat until rescue team come your way. Just hold unto it with your strength so it doesn't slip away.

Common knowledge helps a lot.

More like when the boat was capsizing, a number would be called and then, boom, helicopter and other boats come for rescue. Poor leaders and educated-illetrates finished us.

Justdogood:
The crazy thing is ...


As we are mourning and grieving for their death, someone or some people somewhere now in Nigeria are boarding rickety canoes and boats without life vests and safety equipments.

And they think or keep reminding themselves that its just not important or say na oyibo people them make the thing for.
Playing ludo with their lives.

So annoying and pathetic.

May the ALMIGHTY grant them eternal rest.

nothing will happen is the bane of most nigerians

The Nollywood industry is reeling from a boat accident that claimed the life of star actor Jnr. Pope and left two crew members missing. Movie producer Stanley, known for his blockbuster hits, has confirmed that the search is ongoing for the missing sound technician and makeup artist, who were also on board during the accident.

what about the boat driver

All these people making noise about swimming clearly don't know how inconsequential it is in a large river with a current.

silverlinen:
Damnnn

But i thought it was confirmed that Junior Pope is alive?

Op wetin you come dey talk again?

He was revived. It is the tradition of most River side communities not to take away drowned persons. No First Aid there, they were asked to go and do sacrifice to the River Goddess. It seems they didn't allow him to be taken away to the hospital, that's why he died. They might not release the corpse, they are buried by the River side.

Safety life jackets cost less that N50,000
What is this waste of life

May their souls rest in peace. Amen.

They are nt talking of swimming pool here. Water that has big current. How many u wan swim

Very pained hearing this loss. Please, learn to at least stay afloat for even if na 5mins. It can save lots of lives. In Sweden,Finland, Denmark, and Norway, it is part of their school curriculum.

It is very dangerous embarking on a canoe voyage on a big river without a life jacket. It is like working in an electric factory without putting on your personal protective equipment.

We should think of precautionary and safety measures first that's why the language among whitemen is,"Safety first".It's hurtful losing people in the prime of their lives.

This is just so so sad and painful to read.
Young upcoming lives just wasted like that.

May we not die an untimely death in our lives 🙏

So shall it be of you believe.

You don't have to believe that you'll live long before you do. Anybody can die at anytime. Nothing, not even prayers can stop anyone from dying at anytime.
