Ned Nwoko, businessman and senator representing Delta north, says he was supposed to the tourists who lost their lives in an underwater trip to see the Titanic wreck.

Nwoko spoke on Friday in a post via his Instagram while mourning Hamish Harding, a British businessman and his friend who was among the five engers aboard Titan, the missing submersible.

The US Coast Guard (USCG) said the engers died from a “catastrophic implosion” after debris believed to be from Titan was found near the Titanic, four days after its disappearance.

Nwoko said he was heartbroken by the loss and described Harding as a man who loved adventures and challenges.

The senator said he and the deceased businessman had gone on a few exploits together and were meant to go and see the Titanic wreck via the Titan but he opted out owing to national duties.

“We both went on a very dangerous expedition to the Southpole Antarctica few years back. He was a gulf stream pilot who flew across the world in a record breaking expedition by Guinness world record for circumnavigation of the earth some years ago,” Nwoko said.

“He descended into the Mariana. He also invited me on his space shuttle last year and this very Titan ill-fated adventure but I was tied down with national duties.

“Above all, he was a partner on the various researches into eradication of malaria in Africa project. He was very enthusiastic about it and always gave his at every given opportunity.

“His last message to me was this last Sunday when he told me they were ready to dive to the titanic if the weather permits. He loved adventure and challenges.

“My heart bleeds for his dear wife and kids who have become family friends over the years. We will surely miss his wealth of experience.”

Also aboard Titan were Shahzada Dawood, a prominent Pakistani man and his teenage son Suleman; Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a French diver, and Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate, the ocean exploration company responsible for the Titanic tour.

Nigerians no dey carry last with their lies. I knew that some people would start spewing thrash about how they narrowly missed the voyage.

Baba wan trend...clinching, me sef pay ooo, I no see straight bus there from ojota..oya add urs

Oya use the ₦180million ticket money to setup a scholarship scheme for at least 100 indigent students.
That's one good way to thank God for the narrow escape.

Continue lying to yourself, you fit afford the trip? When most of una acclaimed Nigeria billionaires are debtors

Nedd Nwoko likes to lie too much.

I was the one that introduced 2 of them when we climbed Mt Matterhorn in the Swiss alps.

I'm sure he doesn't even his name but since he's dead, Nedd Nwoko should carry on since nobody fit burst our lamba.

Regina Daniel would have Forgotten him and gone to pursue Young Gbolas.

Rubbish, no black man can spend such money

He's mad

If Ned was there, I'm sure there would have been no implosion. Things would have been fine. But it is well sha

Still wondering how a sane person will spend almost ₦200million to embark on a very dangerous 4km trip to the bottom of the ocean just to see a ship wreckage, & just for fun.
The fun is simply not worth the risk & the high cost.

Me too.

I missed the Titan because I was too busy sweeping my palace on Mars, and could not make it to Earth fast enough due to a 4 minutes connecting flight between Saturn and the Earth via Earth's moon.
