    Am so happy to experience this from your lens, please keep it up . Amazing episode. I highly rate this video. The price of the ferry crossing is reasonable because of the fuel consumption. Nice to hire it for a party though

      Same here bro. I have been in lokoja when I was a teenager I have seen the bodies of water life and direct ,during my nysc I have seen the part of it in both delta state and anambra state. I was born and lived in Lagos I can swim but my fear for large bodies its not small anything that as to do with all this river our safety is very important.

    It is beautiful, well done. But there's more to the confluence than the beautiful sceneries and that's in the history of its people, the wars fought, powerful river clans and chieftains, acts of trade and piracy, title successions and one of the most powerful pre-colonial States in Nigeria's history. Hopefully some day, the world will get to hear our story. Once again, well done. Cheers.

    I did my NYSC at Lokoja, from 500 housing units, Ganaja, the confluence was always in sight especially during the dry season. It is a beauty to see the narrow strip of land that separates the two major rivers. The city will be better appreciated from Mount Patti. Great production as usual from you. Keep it up.

      Brilliant observation right there, prime real estate and water front of world standard such that you'd see in some east African countries, Zanzibar for instance. Out there at the confluence, this is one hell of a potential which unfortunately neither the locals nor the state's government seems to have realized that they have a fantastic gold mine in waiting, right at their footsteps. Again, sharp points by you right there guy. Cheers.

      Right on point. Almost all Nigerian cities that’s on the waterfront including Onitsha n others are complete mess n feels like nigeria will never develop cos we seems not to know bout it plus never seen any politician or presidential candidate talking bout how to modernize n fully develop the country. Really a sad situation 🙄
