According to the villagers who were at the scene of the incident, TC Okafor was ringing a bell while they were on the boat, and it is against their tradition for anyone to ring a bell near a river during their market day.
Nollywood actor TC Okafor was also in the boat accident that claimed the lives of Jnr. Pope and others, but he survived.
It is high time Africans go back to respecting traditions and the culture and some values of a particular community, society, or anywhere in seizing themselves.
Africa is deeply rooted in traditions, and that has been the best point for Africans and is their way of life. It should be respected when you visit any place that is not your land. Try to learn their customers traditions and culture and embrace it, provided it is not an inferior culture.
Traditions go with nature, and this is why it doesn’t spare anyone who goes against rules and norms like the nollywood actors did on April 10, 2024, which claimed over three lives on this spot, including the life of the popular Nigerian nollywood actor known as Pope Junior.
