Ogun River In Kara Did Not Actually Dry Up. This Is What Happened! by azundu1(m): 11:59pm On Jun 19, 2016

I read this thread about Ogun river in Kara drying up suddenly. I was surprise at various speculations people were making about the incident including. See the thread here https://www.nairaland.com/3174249/ogun-river-kara-turn-dry

All of you are very funny! grin

Earth quake ko, drying up nii.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED AT THAT RIVER.

Those green grass you see are plants that grew by the riverbed, they were either uprooted in very large quantity by the river current at various locations and carried by the flowing river. Due to some possible barricade under the bridge, the grasses could not flow across and thus causing the very large pile of the grass.

Due the pressure by the flowing water and the inability of the grass to cross the obstacle under the bridge, the large pile of grass was so tick that people could even walk over it with the water flowing under it.

With time, if the blockage under the bridge was not forcefully pushed by the weight of the accumulated grass or removed by someone, the grass will decay and gradually flow away and the water will become visible again.

So this explains why you have water flowing on one side of the bridge and the other a very pile of grass.

Hope you now understand the mystery behind the dried up water.

Op's observation may be plausible , but these days many people would rather believe fiction than accept the truth. If a "prophet" or some self-anointed fellow were to attribute the phenomena to demons or witches, gullible people would readily hail the crook as "man of god"!

For those of you who thinks the river actually dried up because you saw people walking over the presumed dry land. Did you actually notice that no one was walking on "land", but on huge pile of grass. So you think you walk on grass if there was no force or pressure pushing them against each other? hmm, please have a rethink and reason with what is possible and some some fiction or miracle.

Nigerians sef... i hail una grin

Dont mind kids who wont bother to research or use their common sense before believing any superstition. I have seen similar incident happen at a canal not long ago.

I laugh at their ignorance.

Another point to note about this type of incident and also a warning to those walking on the weed above the river.

Lots of reptiles such as Snakes and Alligators or other dangerous animals will be trapped in this weeds and can harm people.

So be careful if you want to walk on the presumed dry land to avoid snake bite.

Thank u jare my broda....It doesnt take much to know that was a temporary issue. All u need to do is wait some few days n d leaves dry up and u can see d water surface again.....

Nigerian kids hardly educate theirselves.....if they are not watching African magic, u will see dem watching telemundo or using their phone to pkay candy crush.

The easiest thing to do is to use google and find out similar occurrence around d world....I taya 4 my pple jare
