azundu1: Why didn't you snap the pictures of your own experience or post a similar picture from any other place this has ever happened in the world. Until you take a personal visit to the place and actually verify the true situation, I will advise you keep mute. |

OP this your post can only fool those who know nothing about Archimedes' Principle and concepts about buoyancy, upthrust and weight. The one true plausible explanation is that there's a hole caused by an earth tremor that the river flowed into. |

The Op post is exactly what happened at Ogun River on Saturday. The river didn't dry up, it's just covered up by that specie of "grass". (It's not grass, but a type of vegetation/plant). Even the Government has issued an official statement explaining what happened and the danger of people milling around the river. Saying the post is poo, and calling it a theory and all ain't exactly a fair thing to do. The Op post is backed by reasoning, logical explanation and the corroborated by an official government statement. Lots of post here are plain arm chair reasoning... Dear Op, don't be bothered about the negative comments. Just a lot of people with access to data subscription, a smartphone and NL account. No depth of knowledge and critical thinking. 3 Likes 1 Share |

If impediments under the bridge stopped the weeds from moving, it there means, at the other side of the bridge the water should be visible. Was there anything like that? |

jide333: River beds aren't exactly a flat surface. Can you go back there at your earliest convenience and dig again? This time dig up from the middle of the ex-river and take pictures/videos, whatever it is you discover you'll be shutting a lot of people up. |

Besides, is it during heavy raining period that a river will dried up? Researchers (lecturers) from different Nigeria Universities have said the same thing about this incident. 1 Like |

For the water plants/grasses to be able to hold up the weight of objects&people sufficiently,it means there's possibly some cohesive force that perhaps culminated from the accumulation of sand,silt or debris that could have been carried by water currents and deposited along with the grasses to that supposedly shallow region. #mytake |

azundu1: OP, thank you for doing something that too many Nigerians just refuse to do: think critically. One really didn't need to visit the site to guess that something like this was at work. Hint: water flowing on the other side of the bridge [From where? Obviously from underneath the mass of greens]. I scroll through the responses to your post, and -as a teacher- I'm just amazed. Corruption fights back, we know, but apparently, ignorance fights back even more viciously! Don't mind some mental midgets o. 4 Likes 1 Share |

azundu1:I did a bit of research on dis and from what i've seen so far I think 'grass' isn't d right word to use. The river is infested by water hyacinth, a kind of invasive aquatic plant (or weed) that clog water ways and form dense impenetratable mat on water surface.Their rate of proliferation on fresh water surface is extremely rapid and they can grow so dense that humans can even walk on them despite having water flow freely underneath them. Again, what u said about 'd grass growing by the riverbed and getting uprooted and then it's inabilty to cross the obstacles' , I don't really think that xplains it. Like I said,these plants are aquatic, they can live and reproduce freely on d surface of freshwater and can be ancored in mud. What we should be more concerned about is the effects of these plants on aquatic life, they block photosynthesis and oxygen from getting into the water they are covering hence leading to loss in aquatic lives (eg fishes) and provides breeding places for mosquitoes. If we are to wait for the plants to dry up so that d water underneath will be exposed then we might have to wait for a longtiime while d plant keeps multiplying. Rather measures should be taken to destroy and control it's spread.Here are some pix for better understanding 1 Like

Who pushed this to fp? You mean the dry land path i saw on video near the bridge is photoshopped? If you believe this, im sorry for you. To fully explain this, you must go there and investigate. |
