Recall that following his survival, T.C. Okafor had revealed a specific thing he had done while crossing the river. He expressed that as the journey continued, he had brought out Fanta and poured the Fanta into the river to appease the water goddess.
He also expressed that while doing it, Junior Pope had asked him what he was doing and he had revealed that he was only trying to be safe.
In another video, TC shared more insights on what really transpired, revealing that two people were wearing life jackets on the boat, which were the director and another person. However, the rest of the people on the boat were not wearing any life jackets. This statement got a lot of netizens fired up as they questioned why life jackets were not provided for everybody.
