The Ijaw nation has lots of Interesting Myths Folklores and Folktales that are passed down from one Generation to another. Most of this myths include water. They are.

1 The Myth of Woyingi: In Ijaw Folklore Woyingi is the maker of Humans. Ijaw Culture was originally very Maternal. Woyingi is depicted to be a woman who created Humans and gave them their Destiny according to their choices. There is a folktale about a Woman named Ikpoeba who chose to be a very strong magic user instead of a mother and at the end of it all later went on a journey back to Woyingi to change her destiny.

2 Bene-kurukuru (Izon subgroup language) Omouokpe (Epie-Attisa) Longi-Shoti (Pidgin): This one isn't really a myth I've seen it with my own eyes. The tale Of Bene-kurukuru: Black Juju Is a story of a tall black Juju that appears in rivers and creeks were children bath to snatch them. One of its arms is Short while one long and can Stretch really far hence its name longi-Shoti in Pidgin. It uses his long hand to Stretch and Catch a target while the other one to tickle the person if the person laughs then he's dead meat but if he doesn't laugh it tosses him out to the river to escape but it would catch the target again if he slacks escaping.

3 Running doors: This one is Quite funny its found mostly among the Epie-Attisa of Yenagoa. It is said that in the olden days if you bang on a door for far too long it would leave the door post and run away when you're asleep.

4 The Notoks: I don't know much about this one but among the Nembe people of Nembe Local Government Area they are myths about long eared Human like creatures who live in the Forest. It is said once that a canoe who used to carve his canoe near the water side would always leave his half done canoe only to come back and see it finished the next day and it would be done so half haphazardly. This happened to him for months then one day he stayed back and watched at 12 Midnite he saw several long eared tailed short Humanoid creature coming to complete his canoe he jumped out trying to catch them but he only caught one, but that one begged him nor to take him home and he would give him what his heart desired but the man disagreed wanting to take it prisoner and show to his customers the person that was ruining the canoes. He took it home but as soon as he went out to announce it the notoks escaped and ran away crying a very loud cry that the entire village heard and from then the Man and his entire linage was cursed with Porverty. It is said that even till now the descendants of the man in Nembe still suffer poverty.

5 The Forest changing faces: It is said that the Forest changes the faces of newborn babies and people who're just entering it for the first time giving them new faces. I don't know much about this though. It is said that you shouldn't shout the name of a person in the forest that the spirits would steal it for they own.

6 In Ijaw custom it is taboo to flog a person with a broom it is said the spirit of the broom would walk around the body. Although this belief isn't much believed now especially the spirit part you still can't go to Yenagoa and flog your child with a broom.

There are other myths though but for now you can add whether Yoruba Igbo or Hausa any culture.
