Some Nigerians above me are just too superstitious. OP's explanation is very valid, and unless you can come up with a more reasonable explanation, I suggest you go back to school.
This is the 21st Century for crying out loud!

This write-up is so fake...


i bow for your level of ignorance oooo....Chai


If you believe this poo up there...you can believe anything

It's scary and spooky

Lordjiggs09:

My broda happy FTC oooo

the thing tire me, hv neva know wat it feels like, abi u fit transfer ur own to me.

I dnt knw wot to say gaan,bt Allah is Great

This isn't a new thing, i've witnessed it many times in Epe. I pity people playing on the grass because there is possibility of reptiles stuck beneath the water trying to find their way out. Give it 1week, all the grass will either dry up or washed away.

Teempakguy:
Thank you very much.

Nigerian behavior don tire me. it's as if when they were coming to earth, some angel threatened to kill off their future spouses if they attempt research.

, we re quicker to believe anything than to even think it thru.

What d op saying is 100% possible if only u know much about plant & H2o,ignorance wil make one to doubt dis,im nt saying they are nt supernatural power........so surprise when someone said no alligators in Nigeria,is even in d city of lagos,u may contest dat too

to say that you believe op analysis means you have malaria. in as much as I don't believe it has to do with supernatural forces but it is quack an idea to think that leaves can be so gathered together by flowing water such that man can freely work on to of those leaves.

guy I knw diff btw the 2. An animal may not be from a region doesn't mean it can not be brought here n trained here. E. G the German Shepherd is a dog originally found in Germany but Don u c them here, likewise the Caucasians

OK. So who brought the alligators all the way from the US or China? You or your Head Master? And what does bringing an animal that isn't part of the local fauna have to do with the initial post where the author of this thread was talking about alligators (in the wild) in the Ogun River?

Hey, shalla to op and others.
Guys I'm new here on nl, can someone please try to put me in the way, I mean how the game is played. Hey, shalla to op and others.

Pls don't sit down at home and confuse people with a lack of depth information.
We need better explanation, not this one.

so one first brought a Caucasian to Africa n started breeding it b4 it became a popular breed. Such can happen in the case of the alligators to over there. Just saying, don't always attack ppl.

Op's explanation is not logical,no amount of nicely stacked grass will allow you move on top it while water flows beneath.For that to have occured a significant amount of deforestation must have occurred nearby.

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!
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.

Source: Personal experience from similar incidents around canals.

It's very good to be observant.

it happens every year around canal especially during rainy season but not as thick this.

We need reorientation in Nigeria, so sad that majority of us are still living in stone age..

Thats just grass,, ask urself.. If it was really a miracle,, why would the place be covered by grass , only grass? Why not dry land?

When moses in the bible made a way in the middle of the sea, it was dry land.. Not grass..

This is no miracle.. Pure science.. Prolly water hyancinth, earth rotation or sth...

Africa is truly the bottom of mankind

Lolz and the human is so light that could not sink that grass? Even a dried canal you will still feel it bro.

Yeye.earth rotation ko,earth distribution ni.
When u are not sure of something, U will feeeem!

azundu1:

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.

Stop deceiving your likes please, Did that place look anything like under bridge? People say that saw the river flowing in the morning and this happen in the afternoon.. OP sorry your name is Linus.

Abbycite:
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

So you think the leaves will dry up in a few days? on top of water? Oya go do ur research too

bashydemy1:

why not make a trip down and verify urself? there is a pathway on the river people could walk through i confirmed my self. may be u need to read the statement released by lagos state government warning people not to walk on the seaweed again cos it can sink any moment from now! my brother seeing is believing.

lol..

Google search "water hyacinth", i won't even argue with you... When Africans see something that is beyond their logic, they refer to it as a supernatural occurrence . This stuff is natural ... If you live near a riverine area, u will understand better,


do me a favor, go back there and snap a pic of solid dry sand on the "dried up river " and show me..

I don't really blame u sha, u r a girl

chiefkpokp:
@op i support that guy that thinks u are high on weed, infact u r a dreamer, I didnt snap the picture, i was there koro koro, i was coming from Benin to Lagos, closed to Kara, we saw a lot of people running to the bridge to take a look, the scene was as if its was riot, as vehicles, transporters, were parking just to see for their self,i was inside god is good bus, we shouted for the driver to park let see, its happens just within 5mins, the water just dry up, turned into gree, what i mean dry land, i mean dry land.... people started running inside and callin it field, u are coming here to tell us, dis and dat, just to receive notice me. that thing is nothing but spiritual, anyone that will come here and tell me, other thing other than spiritual, na slap.

Are you saying, you were there when it happened live.?

grandstar:


It's scary and spooky

sincerely it sound weird and strange but not to the scientifically inclined mind though! i actually spent up to 15minutes walking on that river yesterday! so do many people.

omoadeleye:
This is not new to me again, actuall there is once a river called "Salawa river" around Ota in Ogun State. The river too dried up or just flow somewhere else uptill this moment the river is yet to be visible back thou there are lots of chunks gasses in the area now.

How long did it take the river to dry up.?

But OP,Did it just happened over night , or gradual acomulatn over time?

Tell them what they want to hear, "It is spiritual, god did it".

MsTeeS:
makes sense now, thank you.

guy, it make's no sense at all. You need to be there yourself

You are an agronomy/biological novice for not doing proper research before saying water hyacinth.

Water hyacinth ko fire hyacinth ni

It jus simple the dam over the river is locked. That all if we remember sometimes last four years ago the rivèr bank was ovèr flowing which destroyed properties around ikorodu area.
