Chai! Na wetin we go talk as 7 bodies don dey float for Gambia water after boat wey carry over 200 migrants capsized last night. E happen for North Bank region as people dey try waka go Spain through Canary Islands, we sabi say na one of the most dangerous routes dem dey use.

The Gambia defence ministry talk say dem don recover 7 bodies, and dem don rescue 96 people. Search and recovery operation still dey go on, as dem dey try find if more people dey inside water wey dem no see yet. E be like movie, but this one na real life as dem find the boat don ground for sandbank.

Rescue mission no be joke o! Dem use three naval speedboats, one coastal patrol vessel, and even local fishermen join body to help. Na wetin we go call community spirit! But among the rescued, 10 people dey see serious condition, dem dey rush dem for medical help. But the ministry no gree reveal dem nationalities. Wetin we sabi be say, dem be migrants wey just wan find better life.

As per numbers wey we dey collect from EU, over 46,000 migrants don reach Canary Islands for 2024 alone, which na record wey nobody no expect. Disaster dey follow this journey as more than 10,000 people don die the same year trying to cross, that one na serious increase of 58 percent when we compare am to 2023.

But e no be say na only wahala dey as per this migration thing. According to Frontex, dem don notice say irregular migration don drop 60 percent during early 2025, because countries wey dey send dem dey collaborate with EU to curtail this wahala. But anytime boat dey capsize, na always wahala we go dey hear.

No be say we no dey feel the pain wey come with this struggle, but we fit only shout for change. Last August 2025, at least 70 people don die for one boat accident wey happen for the same area, wey further show say dis matter serious pass wetin dem fit predict. Wetin go happen next? Na that one wey everybody dey reason now.
