Nigerian businessman and husband to Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, Ned Nwoko has revealed that he was supposed to join the tourists who lost their lives in an underwater trip to see the Titanic wreck.
The newly elected senator made this known in a post via Instagram on Friday, while mourning his friend, Hamish Harding, a British businessman who was aboard Titan, the missing submersible.
His post reads,
“We both went on a very dangerous expedition to the Southpole Antarctica few years back. He was a gulf stream pilot who flew across the world in a record breaking expedition by Guinness world record for circumnavigation of the earth some years ago.
“He descended into the Mariana. He also invited me on his space shuttle last year and this very Titan ill-fated adventure but I was tied down with national duties.
“Above all, he was a partner on the various researches into eradication of malaria in Africa project. He was very enthusiastic about it and always gave his support at every given opportunity.
“His last message to me was this last Sunday when he told me they were ready to dive to the titanic if the weather permits. He loved adventure and challenges.
“My heart bleeds for his dear wife and kids who have become family friends over the years. We will surely miss his wealth of experience.”
