A resident of Niger State, identified only as Nagya, has publicly shared his unconventional approach to water travel, opting to board a canoe without a life jacket. He expressed his faith in divine protection for a secure journey.
In a social media post made on Sunday, Nagya stated, "This is my first time entering a canoe, and there is no life jacket. We are just trusting God. Please pray for us and wish us safe journey." His comment highlights a concerning disregard for essential safety measures, especially given the history of fatal boat accidents in Nigeria.
This incident raises questions about adherence to safety protocols in the country, particularly concerning inland water transportation where life-saving equipment is crucial for preventing avoidable tragedies.
