In the video, she invited viewers to come with her to explore what under the bridge looks like.
She got on the boat, and what immediately caught netizens’ eyes was the fact that she wasn’t wearing a life jacket.
Netizens were concerned because many Nigerians have lost their lives to boat accidents or drowning, including recent unfortunate incident of popular actor, Junior Pope.
On the boat, the lady disclosed that she was heading to the island without an Uber.
When they got under the bridge, she climbed onto one of the piles and created some content on it.
