Did you know millions of people buy ebooks on Amazon daily? you don't need to be an author before you create and upload yours easily within 3days with our tools. It's easier than expected.You can start with small volume ebooks like 24 pages with good title/content. I would guide you on ways to upload it on Amazon through their Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), how to create dollar account to receive payment from all angles etc. My students that upload up to 5 short books are cashing out monthly from Amazon.
I'm a proud person as my content is serving as breakthrough to many and more ahead. Did you know also that there are apps that can help you write over 100 pages instantly? I would take you through fast lane.
The course is still available for just N1000 (almost free).
It's a full guide and well explained.
I would also add you to my Mentorship group on WhatsApp till you become expert.

The problem now

Is that officials cannot even go into that water for rescue search. Without being in danger themselves

The hippo must be extremely large.

But wtf? 23 person's missing with just a hit?
Or is it a scenario were the victims couldn't swim and all got displaced?

I'm kinda perplexed.

Learns:
Omo shocked
Hippos can be very aggressive and deadly

Didn't they know that river have hippos?🙄🤔
And if they knew, why the human life gamble?

It's really sad, the global loss of lives!!!
May GOD comfort the bereaved families..

Africa, no police rescue boats in an area where water transport is common. No proper passenger boats, no regulations. No safety observations by authorities, Locals have to inform authorities about dangers not the other way round.

Oh dear. What do you expect in a hippo's territorial territory.RIP to the dead.

This can't happen in Naija. The hippo would have long been used as stomach infrastructure before it can try that nonsense.

Hippo weigh as much as Toyota Tundra! Don't mess with that beast

Sometimes I don't blame hunters/fishermen when they hunt on those animals, some will charge at you naturally even without you showing any sign of attack on them.... To it, it could be a defense mechanism for it's territory from intruders unfortunately they are just passing by at the wrong time.......
Hippos are very territorial. They've killed more humans than any other animals in Africa

They are very territorial and they don't want to see any creature in their territory.. Once they do, they charge and their rage could be disastrous

Yes,we do because they still stroll around the Ogun,Cross River and Balyesa but no one cares since there is no functional zoo in Nigeria!
The best of zoo then was in Jos Plateau but now demised due to constant local War in that Region.
Very Unfortunate indeed!
