Is the water not moving?

The lake drawing someone to the very bottom when it's full might just be a myth have the locals seen anything like that before?

tuzle:
I have a question about the small hole that if u put your leg inside when there is water, u get drawn in, but please how does a human fit into that small hole?

Naso I ask myself when I went there. I wanted to put my leg, it was a lady that drew me back. Funny stories behind many tourist centres in Nigeria, those people just cook up mouth to mouth stories and feed every generation that comes there.
Na ife own shock me pass, many stories that choke.

I'm not sure there's only two of that in the world. A lot of this kind are all around especially in those Scandinavian countries. Sweden, Norway, Iceland, etc.

Vote of Thanks.

I want to say a big thank you to the OP for giving us this wonderful privilege to travel without moving an inch under this heat. Thanks again for the photographer, you've got eyes for nice and interesting angle, my prayer for you is may keep going higher. Now more importantly to all the rationale humans here who don't believe in legends or superstition, I wish you all the best and finally to those who will get angry at this horrible comment, it's my utmost desire that God will give you sense to do the needful next time.

Gentlemen, shall we...

One beautiful thing about this tourist site is that it is rare.

There are only two suspended lakes in the whole world.

And one is in our dear country, Nigeria.

So sweet!!!

The Seven Mysteries of Ado Awaye

1. Oke Ishage (Ishage Rock): This is the first It is a vertical standing rock which has been standing for centuries. The legend behind this rock is when there is famine or lack of rain in the town. The chief priest comes to the Rock with a white cloth to cover the piece of Rock. According to local sources, once this is done, it will rain within the next four days.

2. Odo Iya Alaro (Iya Alaro Lake): This is another lake at Ado Awaye named after a woman specializes in the art of tye and dye. Several years after the death of Iya Alaro. The lake still retains the tye and dye look though it has been abandoned for many years. It has lush green vegetation growing over it which made it not suitable for drinking or bathing.

3. Elephant Tree: This elephant tree at Ado Awaye is a fallen tree with root looking like the head of an elephant. The formation of this tree with eyes, trunk and the head that looks like that of an elephant. It has become a favourite spot for taking pictures.

4. Ese Awon Agba: This is another destination at Ado Awaye, known as the footprints of the elders. It’s a collection of footprints scattered all over the mountain.

That tarred but bushy and unmarked road to the lake put me off from watching the video complete.
Nigeria politicians go abroad on tourism, see how roads to tourists sites are maintained and marked, they return to Nigeria and build half by half roads

That claim cannot be true. Crater lake in Oregon,US is a very big lake at the very top/mouth of an Old volcanic mountain.

And there are many lakes all over the world that accumulated in craters of expired volcanos. Based on your explanation, they are all suspended lakes.

I think the claim about the Iyake lake is only to reinforce the legend around it. Its totally false.

I couldn't believe Nigeria has such a tourist centre but they're not making any money from it...

But you must show off false knowledge??
