Oboyyyyyy..... This made me remember when I got a job interview in an oil company in Bonny Island back then in 2011 ... My brother when I checked how to reach there and it's by ferry. I didn't go ooo 😂
Dave, you are very brave! May the Lord continue to preserve and secure you. When I was a medical student at UNIPORT in the early 1990s, one of my classmates had her wedding in Bonny, and although we were very close, I refused to attend, out of fear of the ocean! She was kind and understanding enough to forgive me! It seems I heard kabashing; you did well. He is always at hand to hear and deliver us when we call upon Him!!
I had to subscribe because that's a journey i honor you taking. I couldn't do it. Wow, God is awesome...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂From your African 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 Jamaican. Thats pretty crazy.
For real I really love your videos because of the authenticity.. Everything is unscripted and very real! The preaching, the pricing, the whinning.. I love it!!!
It's normal if you get used to it, been there several times, very scary the first time, boat is locally made with no navigational equipment. Went to brass aswell but the boat journey was actually at night, over two hrs on the sea at night.
Thank you so much David for your adventures and helping in bringing to us all the beautiful scenes in Nigeria. Talking about Bonny Island, you can also access Bonny by air as there is a fully equipped and functional air port that can allow medium size air planes with up to hundred passengers to land. There is NLNG daily flights to Bonny from Lagos and also from Port Harcourt NAF Base.
I am glad you did this documentary to show Bonny island. For reference there are more than 3 ways to get into bonny island with a shorter boat ride. Always make sure you board a boat with double engine it is a lot safer than single engines.
Amazing! your bravery is second to none. As a Mariner, life at sea is adventurous. This vlog reminds me of the time, I used to travel to and from Oron and Calabar.
@@DavidNkwa There's a ferry service now on that route, make inquiries before you embark on the trip. Sea Express is now offering ferry services between Oron and Calabar. And with Ferry, the journey is less risky, comfortable, and fun.
@david nkwa, it warms my heart to know you are a believer and not afraid to show it !! It was beautiful to hear you speaking in tongues with such confidence
Like how my brother in the. LORD kicks in in tongues to keep things under control. GOD BLESS and protect you as you embark on showing the world new places and experiences. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good memories, I was frequent to Bonny via this means .Until one gets to the end of the journey , heart will be on your sleeves ,steady kabashing especially when big ships are passing with multiple waves ,fear of the unknown especially travelling early evenings .,the waves , abrupt stoppage of engine , transfering from one boat to another in the middle of the ocean , or is it getting wet in the rain or if you are lucky everyone is covered up under a big plastic bag/ canopy , boat capsizing, sea pirates ...etc .. God is indeed a protector ..However The journey is always enjoyable but morale needs to be high to embark on it . Lolxxx
When i went to Bonny, my friend smuggled me into the NLNG boat for my to nd fro journey. Thank God i didn't have to experience this sea like this. I for die and resurrect 1000times before i get to my destination. I remember seeing a few ships loaded with multilevels of containers on the high sea. It was a magnificent sight.
I followed here in 2015 😮😮, not for the faint hearted ooh. Na sea like dat of Libya, there is one risky part dat has heavy wave dat can capsize the boat
Your welcome Boss. Kindly share the video. Unfortunately Bonny island does not have alot of video out there, hopefully more people discover this place and come and visit, especially when the road construction is done.
Just like my first trip o In the sea during my operation Nimasa in Lagos, mehn for good 2days can't eat while onboard till the 3rd day I Start managing to take lime before my system come back, it was an amazing experience been in the sea I enjoyed it alot only sometimes my system not use to it...
Have mercy. That looked like the longest, scariest 50 minutes ride ever! Everyone looked so calm though; I can imagine they're used to it. Kudos to you for completing the journey, not sure if I could do it!😅😅 Can't wait to see the next part!☺️☺️
Most of the people are used to it, since they are either indigenes of the island or have been living on the island for long. This journey was not an easy one, but I am glad I have check it out of my list. More videos coming . Thanks for watching once again.
Pls am from Bonny and most of the information he said in this video are all lies even the day he traveled my cousins was on the same boat with him they even spoke sef only for my cousin to be shocked seeing him saying Bonny river is a deadly water. It’s not fair to spread false news about a place talk-less of you saying you crossed one of the most deadly water Bonny.
@king who is your cousin, that I spoke to, what his name. Truth is bitter, nonetheless it's the truth, accept it and move on. It's dangerous. Very Dangerous
You really try. You just visited my town. For a non-native, travelling to Bonny Island is not a walk in the park... Years ago, the girl I wanted to marry thought Bonny was an enchanted island and eager to go with me to see my family. But when she got to Nembe Jetty and saw a glimpse of the water, it erased every doubt and ideas she had about her dreamed paradise! The rest, as they say, is history. For a first timer, I cut hand for you.
👏👏👏 terrifying waves really. But I was glad I did. Although I was also worried about Pirates as I heard lots of stories about them. But once the Road construction is done, am sure the population of Bonny will tripple
@@DavidNkwa You really chop crocodile liver! The menace of the sea thieves is real. Those guys no get joy. The day they caught the boat I was traveling on, they asked us to strip ourselves naked and jump into the freezing water close to the Onne Jetty (close to Dawes Island). They didn't care that the three women among us had no bras on..They even hit one of them who couldn't jump into the river out of fear with their gun and she turned 360 degrees before falling into the sea. Na God save all of that day.... Those guya are the real definition of the devil.
@@emmanuelonwuaso4769 Those of us who can swim managed to scramble ashore. A few of us swam back to help those who couldn't... Thankfully, no life was lost that day.
David, travelling by speed boat must have been an experience for you. It is good to know more about your experience because I would be in Nigeria in December 2022, and plan to travel extensively, especially in the Southeast and South-South region(s).
Hello bro I just came acros your comment and am here to tell you that all he said about Bonny water being deadly is false you can as well google Bonny island it’s a nice lance with rich culture and activities. Like we have our big festivals in December where we bring celebrities like David, wizkid, burna boy, reekadoo banks, 2face,Timaya and many more
Hahaha your ability to swim cannot help you in such waters,it can probably just sustain you for a little time.Your survival will be largely dependent on an emergency rescue.
Thanks David for this documentary. However, there's an airport at Bonny Island, the LNG operates daily flights from Lagos through a joint venture with Nestoil Aviation. I've flown with it.
Its a beautiful journey. Enjoy the beautiful scenery. Its not that risky. Many a times you will be seeing people's homes and even fishermen with ordinary canoe. So if you don't know how to swim wear your life jacket. When I travelled there I had extra empty gallon with me just to help me float if anything happens. But with time I started travelling by NLNG boat, a most amazing experience I wish for everybody. I remember some people died too but man must survive
@@ednaokosi cars and other heavy materials reach the island by ship. How do cars from Europe or USA reach Nigeria?. They are all shipped. From Owerri you get to Port Harcourt and then travel to the Island by speed boat, ship or helicopter
That was frightening!like most things in Nigeria he was going to fast, that's the reason you felt the wave that bad.lf it going at a reasonable speed the wave would be bearable.At that speed,any mistake would be fatal too, the impact on the water alone... compared to going at reasonable speed.Same thing on Nigerian roads too,unnecessary speeding.A whole oil producing state,wike can donate 50 million to a market in sokoto yet he can't buy them a ship and get them into a union,even if they have to pay back something daily to the state,build jetty on both sides.Visionless nigerian leaders,beautiful places that should be bringing visitors to the state are all left to ruin.lf l have my way,l would round up every Nigerian leader and send them to prison for life,everyone of them,past and present.Thank you mate.
Very true. The speed was something else. I felt the boat was about to break into two. On development, your comment may probably be worst by the time you see the lack of infrastructure in Bonny Island. A place that is the center of Nigeria Economy.
@@DavidNkwa l have seen bonny lsland on some other channels, it's awful to say the least.I was just thinking,many of us left home not necessarily because of unemployment, some of us had a job when we were home,but the lack of urban renewal,development, infrastructure, which is the primary responsibility of government is the reason nigerians are leaving home...lf our cities was as developed as that bonny LNGN town many nigerians would have stayed...
same thing goes to that fat bellied man from there who sent his hungry and rabid infested attack dogs/tugs to Abuja. It is a shame how areas like this are neglected by successive state and federal governments
This was a cool video! That boat looked sturdy til you hit some big wakes from other boats. I could see it shudder. You’re quite an adventurer. I’ve been to some remote places and it always gives me an eerie feeling getting there and back. You just haven’t had the right exposure or enough exposure yet. One day this channel will blow up and get really big.
Dav, I did not see this video until today - 2 months after. On passing the first boat you burst into tongues but the lady beside you was calm. Why? ☺Thumbs up for you . Continue bringing to us tourist attractions around us. God bless you and protect you.
The more of my video you watch, the more it appears on your homepage. Also turn up notification. That woman you said was calm, was not oh... Inside she has already died and wake up, believe me🤣
I heard you say Bonny has no airport. Bonny actually has an airport. In fact, the passenger traffic of the Bonny airport is more than that of some state airports in Nigeria. But you need to book like 2 weeks ahead for a flight. There are direct flights from Abuja, Lagos & PH to Bonny. None of the major commercial airlines ply that route. However, you can book on any of the planes of the companies at a subsidised rate.
That the problem with internet. A place you have never visited and may nerve visit, yet you type Wrong information with audacity. Show me the ticket you booked before
@@DavidNkwa I've visited Bonny Island several times bro. There is an airport along the road between the RA & the plant. It is called Finima Airport. & if TH-cam had the capacity, I'll upload a Pass sample. Calm down and do a bit more research. I'm not discrediting your work. Plus one of our subsidiaries is in the aviation industry & I've seen the passenger traffic statistics of the Finima Airport. Its more than some state government airports.
@Gold. The Airport you are referring to is more of an airstrip and it's only open to NLNG workers and not the general public. also, there is an NLNG boat that can take you to Bonny Island, but also only available to the workers. The only way you can use the boat or plane is if someone who works there books on your behalf. A service that is not open to the public how can that be an airport? Please point me to the website where ordinary people can book and I will gladly do and appreciate you for it. thank you
@@DavidNkwa Finima Airport used to be an Airstrip. It is a functional airport now. It has all the equipment needed & government agencies representatives as well. Like I said in my first comment, none of the major commercial airlines ply that route (or use the airport). While you can book the NLNG boat in a matter of days or hours through a staff member, you need about 2 weeks to book a flight to the airport. The airport services more planes than that of NLNG. Most are strictly private but some offer a quasi-commercial flight. Unlike the NLNG boat which is free, you need to make payment for the flight. However, the cost has been subsidised.
Now I have liver for sea. I drove a jet ski into an open ocean here in UK for about 1hr and that wave got me on my way back. I had to start following it and try to avoid it. The wave are caused by others that have use same route. We were 5 jet ski in number that day and our instructor was far in front who was creating the wave. I had to leave his track completely to enjoy the ride.
That Boat Ride was a very stable but exciting ride without any kind of Turbulence on the Water during that Trip. The Boat looks like a very well made Boat designed for Carrying heavy Loads under Very Decent Horsepower. Then Tell the Viewers more about the Boat and the Engine that Pushing this Boat so Swiftly across the Water. Looks like the Water is very Deep, judging from the Crude oil Tanker in the Background. This Video has a Bit of Everything for the Viewer sitting at home to Watch. Nicely Done Video and for that Reason, i have subscribed to this Platform.
Yes, brother David here is where you killed the Goliath wave with holy tongues. It is scary indeed but yet a great documentary. May the Lord God keep protecting and preserving you.
Nigeria still do things local is someone that backed u to come down from the boat!!!!!! I think it is normal boat drive !!! That is how it is !! Thank GOD for journey mercies . Nice content
The real documentary about Bonny Island is still coming as part of this Bonny Series. Thanks for watching and kindly share this video let more people get to see the beauty of Bonny Kingdom!
Back then in pH a colleaque of mine invited to come to brass for where I run ooo brother you get mind, even takwa bay in Lagos I was invited I refused to go becos I don't know how to swim and in my place we don't have river but spring water
Actually I miss this trips very interesting, you will love this more during harmattan period period with the sun and warm morning period. I have made this trip more than 100times from Warri to burutu and beyond towards the Atlantic Ocean
I'm seeing tarred roads and beautiful structures, it must have cost them a fortune to put those things in place since the only route is by WAY OF THE WATERS😊
Very brave of you Sir, I remember sometime in 2014 I was making a video on my way to the village through the Altantic in Southern Ijaw, Bayelsa, when I accidentally caught Sea Pirates on my camera. They almost shot me, but thank God I miraculously deleted the video before they got to my boat.
Osaisai, I'm sure we r related. My great grandmother is frm Osaisai family in Koluama. She got married 2an Akassa man & had my grandfather, d DIGITEMIES in Akassa. Nice 2meet u
Just came across your channel and trust me when I say you're churning out wonderful and amazing contents. Kudos to you!!! Your journey made me remember my service year, I was posted to Kokodiagbene community and you can only get there by water. It takes roughly an hour to get to the community from Warri. It really takes a whole lot of courage to embark on such journeys.
Yes it takes courage to embrace on this journey my brother. Thanks for joining our TH-cam Family Hope you look through other content we have on the channel as well.
😃😃who else notice how silent the trip is? Like say everyone just carry their heart for hand
✋
Oboyyyyyy..... This made me remember when I got a job interview in an oil company in Bonny Island back then in 2011 ... My brother when I checked how to reach there and it's by ferry. I didn't go ooo 😂
In my opinion, this is one of your best documentary; letting Nigerians see a place they may never go. Keep keeping on. Great work!
Thank you
Like me who’s never been there and been planning too 🙏🏾
I agree with you….I am watching it right now and I love what I am seeing.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pls his lying
I have every fact to prove to you that what his saying are all lies
Google Bonny island you will see that all he said are lies. BONNY ISLAND WATER IS NOT DEADLY!!!!!!!!!!

Lol I’m a native of Bonny island Finima to be precise , traveling like this is a normal thing for me 😂 I actually enjoy it ….
This is nice I'm a native a bonny island and most people don't know it exist

Unfortunately Bonny island does not have alot of video out there, hopefully more people discover this place and come and visit, especially when the road construction is done.

Feel so scared watching this....nice documentary bro...keep it up

You just haven’t had the right exposure or enough exposure yet. One day this channel will blow up and get really big.
Thank you so kindly Johnny
Bro dey blow tongues. It is good that out fears and concerns causes us to pray.
This is beautiful to watch.... I am a big fan of water transportation..... Nice one brother 🙌🏾
Thank you
Pure Adventure 😮, bro was blowing some tongues 😂
Dav, I did not see this video until today - 2 months after. On passing the first boat you burst into tongues but the lady beside you was calm. Why? ☺Thumbs up for you . Continue bringing to us tourist attractions around us. God bless you and protect you.
The more of my video you watch, the more it appears on your homepage. Also turn up notification.
That woman you said was calm, was not oh... Inside she has already died and wake up, believe me🤣

I heard you say Bonny has no airport. Bonny actually has an airport. In fact, the passenger traffic of the Bonny airport is more than that of some state airports in Nigeria. But you need to book like 2 weeks ahead for a flight. There are direct flights from Abuja, Lagos & PH to Bonny. None of the major commercial airlines ply that route. However, you can book on any of the planes of the companies at a subsidised rate.
That the problem with internet.
A place you have never visited and may nerve visit, yet you type
Wrong information with audacity.
Show me the ticket you booked before
@@DavidNkwa I've visited Bonny Island several times bro. There is an airport along the road between the RA & the plant. It is called Finima Airport. & if TH-cam had the capacity, I'll upload a Pass sample. Calm down and do a bit more research. I'm not discrediting your work. Plus one of our subsidiaries is in the aviation industry & I've seen the passenger traffic statistics of the Finima Airport. Its more than some state government airports.
@Gold. The Airport you are referring to is more of an airstrip and it's only open to NLNG workers and not the general public. also, there is an NLNG boat that can take you to Bonny Island, but also only available to the workers. The only way you can use the boat or plane is if someone who works there books on your behalf. A service that is not open to the public how can that be an airport? Please point me to the website where ordinary people can book and I will gladly do and appreciate you for it. thank you
@@DavidNkwa Finima Airport used to be an Airstrip. It is a functional airport now. It has all the equipment needed & government agencies representatives as well. Like I said in my first comment, none of the major commercial airlines ply that route (or use the airport). While you can book the NLNG boat in a matter of days or hours through a staff member, you need about 2 weeks to book a flight to the airport. The airport services more planes than that of NLNG. Most are strictly private but some offer a quasi-commercial flight. Unlike the NLNG boat which is free, you need to make payment for the flight. However, the cost has been subsidised.
So how do you book that the issue here
Now I have liver for sea. I drove a jet ski into an open ocean here in UK for about 1hr and that wave got me on my way back. I had to start following it and try to avoid it. The wave are caused by others that have use same route. We were 5 jet ski in number that day and our instructor was far in front who was creating the wave. I had to leave his track completely to enjoy the ride.
Not me... I can never travel in that; on such river
Dave spoke in tongues

That Boat Ride was a very stable but exciting ride without any kind of Turbulence on the Water during that Trip.
The Boat looks like a very well made Boat designed for Carrying heavy Loads under Very Decent Horsepower.
Then Tell the Viewers more about the Boat and the Engine that Pushing this Boat so Swiftly across the Water.
Looks like the Water is very Deep, judging from the Crude oil Tanker in the Background.
This Video has a Bit of Everything for the Viewer sitting at home to Watch.
Nicely Done Video and for that Reason, i have subscribed to this Platform.
Brother, you get mind o. Watching it is even scary
I love beach but this is more than beach challenging but fun.. watch out for crocodiles and octopuses..😆😆😆
😂😂
Yes, brother David here is where you killed the Goliath wave with holy tongues. It is scary indeed but yet a great documentary. May the Lord God keep protecting and preserving you.
Amen
Nigeria still do things local is someone that backed u to come down from the boat!!!!!! I think it is normal boat drive !!! That is how it is !! Thank GOD for journey mercies . Nice content
What a brave adventure..
I’m glad about this documentary
It makes me proud
The real documentary about Bonny Island is still coming as part of this Bonny Series. Thanks for watching and kindly share this video let more people get to see the beauty of Bonny Kingdom!
Back then in pH a colleaque of mine invited to come to brass for where I run ooo brother you get mind, even takwa bay in Lagos I was invited I refused to go becos I don't know how to swim and in my place we don't have river but spring water
The driver should have slowed down to meet incoming waves then the boat turbulence would have been less. Nice video 👍🏾
Admir curajul! Superb videoclipul!! 😘🤗🙏💯❤️🌹
All these years that Niger delta has been supplying oil to Nigeria nobody has been able to construct a decent road for this people. It is very unfair
I crave to visit this place but will learn how to swim first
Actually I miss this trips very interesting, you will love this more during harmattan period period with the sun and warm morning period. I have made this trip more than 100times from Warri to burutu and beyond towards the Atlantic Ocean
Very lovely
It was frightening and lovely at the same time.
For once I thought they were immigrating to Europe via the Mediterranean Sea lol 😂
I'm seeing tarred roads and beautiful structures, it must have cost them a fortune to put those things in place since the only route is by WAY OF THE WATERS😊
One of my good friends lost his mum on these waters to a boat mishap.
Very brave of you Sir, I remember sometime in 2014 I was making a video on my way to the village through the Altantic in Southern Ijaw, Bayelsa, when I accidentally caught Sea Pirates on my camera. They almost shot me, but thank God I miraculously deleted the video before they got to my boat.
I can imagine. A situation I do not pray to encounter. - Sea Pirates
@@DavidNkwa Yea...And Thank you Sir for carrying us along as always, now I can say I've been to Bonny Island, at least I know the way 😁
That's the spirit ☺️
Kai ! God saved u. If they'd seen u video dem, nothing 4save u. Riverine journey na God dey help us sha. Piracy in d creeks & Ocean is a big problem
Osaisai, I'm sure we r related. My great grandmother is frm Osaisai family in Koluama. She got married 2an Akassa man & had my grandfather, d DIGITEMIES in Akassa.
Nice 2meet u
Just came across your channel and trust me when I say you're churning out wonderful and amazing contents. Kudos to you!!! Your journey made me remember my service year, I was posted to Kokodiagbene community and you can only get there by water. It takes roughly an hour to get to the community from Warri. It really takes a whole lot of courage to embark on such journeys.
Yes it takes courage to embrace on this journey my brother. Thanks for joining our TH-cam Family Hope you look through other content we have on the channel as well.
Very Good.
Great video
