This happened in the years that followed the end of the 2nd world war and some years before the burma war.
Zik was not an ordinary child. He was exceptional in all facets of life. This story is on how he was able to defeat the great mammy water of River Niger, which has hitherto been causing the River to overflow its banks with wanton destruction of lives and properties.

.......to be contuuuuu!

In the years before then, many efforts was made to either kill or contain the mammy water to no avail. Men who ventured never came back. Stories were told of strong magicians that dared and were never heard from or of again. Of particular note is the case of........

..........incidents that preceeded the construction of the 1st Niger bridge. Between 1964 and 1965, French construction giant, Dumez, came to construct the Niger Bridge, to link Onitsha and Asaba in present-day Anambra and Delta States respectively. It was awarded at a whooping £5 million then.
But this wasnt the focal point of this whole set up as the reader will see later that its only the genesis of series of mysterious happenings that nearly truncated the construction of this bridge.

The first of this happenings was that of a consultant, Mr Shrimpy periwinkuloh who led an expedition into the heart of this river to do initial river bed appraisal. They left the Ose ogbe ijaw water front and never were seen again till after three weeks. A trip they should have returned from same day. Worthy of note is the fact that only Mr Shrimpy made it back. It was Mr shrimpy who now gave the first clear account of the mammy watet that resides in the river.

"Shrimpy Periwinkuloh"?

Seriously?

According to Mr shrimpy who died 3days after narrating his odeal, somewhere in the middle of the river, the divers he came with had to dive deep inside the water. First two that went down didnt come up, prompting him to send more men after them. Same thing happened to him till he was the last man left. Down he also went and that was when it all began........

He told the story of how he went into the water only to be drawn in by a strong whirlpool. He spiralled down into what he said looked like a ruined, abandoned city. Lots of young mammy water grabbed him and made to devour him. At that point a thunderous voice halted them. It was the queen herself. She invited him in and told him his life will only be spared on condition that he goes back to tell the government that the construction of the bridge must be jettisoned. He was taken around the underwater world and warned not reveal what he saw or die a horrible death. He saw his dead colleagues bodies being fed to mammy water many newborns.

He was fed on raw fish and drank fish blood for water. He said it was the three most horrible weeks of his life. By the 3rd week he was also dead with fear of his fate even with the mammy water's assurance that he will be released.
Then came the time he was to be released. They brought one teenage mammy water and asked him to make love to it as a ritual to tie his soul to the spirits of the underwater realm. He was told that if satisfies her she will be the one to lead him back to land, but if he doesnt do her real good, then his goose is cooked as he will be fed alive to the baby mammy waters.
