The Nigerian Man who worked as a Cook in aTug Boat that overturned and left him Underwater for three days Harrison Okene,has described how he survived on a Can Coke for
three days,how he heard the screams of his colleagues when the boat overturned and how he heard the sounds of Fishes eating the dead body of his colleagues.Harrison Okene 29,also revealed how he prayed to God to keep him alive but gave up after after 3 days.He was the only survivor of a 12 man Crew.
The deeply Religious Harrison was surprised when he went to his Church Pastor on getting back home and asked if he had survived through Black Magic.
‘I was so surprised! How could a man of God be saying this?’ Okene said, his voice rising in disbelief.
He also didn't go to the funerals of his colleagues because he was worried what the families would think of him.
‘I couldn’t go because I didn’t know what the family will say, thinking “Why is he the only one to survive,”’ said Okene.
It’s a question that has shaken his steadfast faith



‘Every week I ask [God] “Why only me? Why did my colleagues have to die?”’
His wife Akpovona Okene, 27, said he still suffers nightmares seven months later.
‘When he is sleeping, he has that shock, he will just wake up in the night saying “Honey see, the bed is sinking, we are in the sea,”’ Mrs Okene said.
Okene said he made a pact with God when he was at the bottom of the ocean: ‘When I was under the water I told God: If you rescue me, I will never go back to the sea again, never.’
Okene, a 29-year-old ship's cook, was the only known survivor from the boat of 12 men, which capsized on May 26, 20 miles off the coast of Nigeria.
