Wrong.

Swimming has nothing to do with his survival. He simply knew how to float and how to conserve hos energy, and luck came by. I learnt all this at NIMASA training.

So you think someone who does not know how to swim can "know how to float and how to conserve his energy" in water?
Is that what you learnt at NIMASA training?

Na fish him be no cap....Those who are good swimmers may not even stay up to that time. Hypothermia alone can take you off very fast
I never knew that there is a sea in delta State Nigeria.

Thank God for his life. Being lost at sea is one hell of a terrible experience. A man was just rescued after being lost for 67 days at sea in Russia. His brother and nephew died leaving him as the sole survivor.

The same ocean you see in Lagos extends to as far as Calabar ing through Delta State. See the map of Nigeria.

The movie castaway comes to mind.
Just a slight difference.
While he was lost at sea, it wasn't at sea he stayed for survival.

If memory serves, he survived at the shores.

Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom & Cross River states all have boundaries with the Atlantic Ocean. wink

chai! I didn't really really take note of it since. Thanks a lot. Well noted. I won't forget this again. That Ogun, from the map, looks like not sharing boundary. Lagos has the whole space.

honestly. I didn't check the map. Nigeria is really blessed with geological features and positioning. No wonder we have so much crude oil. And it can never finish. Our leaders no get sense at all. Foolish and wicked sets of people
