The Benue river consumes more people per year than how birds pluck fishes from the river. And unfunnily enough, a friend from Wurukum told me it only takes non-indigenes. And this rumour is lowkey popular around that North Bank side and Wurukum area after the bridge. I lost a colleague to it too, and that was when other colleagues began to narrate their loss stories too, and stories they heard.

One story that transpired that very time I was there when my colleague drowned was that some other persons went there to swim and the river came out to the bank where they were and swallowed one of them. He wasn’t even swimming! It just came at him, held him as a friend would hug his longtime friend he’s just seen, and took him beneath.


Even though I don't generally believe in superstitions, I am aware that traditional powers are still practiced nowadays. And that juju exist. But this story? “I don’t believe it.” My uncertainties were put to rest when I witnessed firsthand the community's attempt to dispel the enigma behind the unending number of fatalities by calling upon the services of a native wizard.

This indigenous wizard dove into the water and transformed into a crocodile as he swam downstream. Omo, na so  I begin go house sharp sharp. I fess check my chamber for my body if anything miss cos I no come understand the touching touching body for the crowd. I dey form rugged then but e never reach wetin I see. The next information was that he had gone to visit the river goddess and all that.  What happened? The result was that in order to stop these deaths and to pacify her, sacrifices had to be made.

Even though I lived on property that bordered the river, you can take my word for it that I never in a million years went near it to swim, fish, paddle the canoe, or even wash, regardless of how intense the pressure from my peers was.

You can call me hydrophobic. You can also call me delusional. I don't care if you brand me a coward if it has anything to do with this issue; I'll attend the cowardice coronation with pride, palm wine, a male goat, and with my overworn isi agu.✌️

Go and start writing stories, your talent is also there!

BluntCrazeMan:
Ok naa.

Your brother's wife’s sister is Not your sister-in-law.

Your own wife's sister is the one who is supposed to be your sister-in-law.

You spoke intelligence!

Flight90:

Won't we all be shocked to death if she didn't deny it😅

You're "hilariously" on point bro!

ejimatic:
. What about LP that is on ground on Nigeria? Are they not involved?

You guys said they are just four in a room tweeting, to mushroom party to structure less party to now party on ground

INEC has lost the confidence of many Nigerians!

PulaPower:
They gave?

Did you watch all the bullies that happened in SE? People were not allowed to vote any other party aside from Lp. Ipob were fully in charge. You need to see how to messed up an adult man all cuz he wanted to vote Apc..

Google is your friend!

So what happened in Lagos and Osun?

TOPCRUISE:
P square are getting broke o. Victor Osimhen should thread carefully o

Someone that just bought a house in UK?

Osimhen is currently one of the worlds best strikers!

How real is this news?
I don't trust the source, inasmuch as I have never supported Tinubu, we should not go this far, please!

One is legal while the other is illegal!

I have never actually trusted this guys arithmetics right from day one!

Let the best candidate win

INEC should first of all respect the rule on transmission of result using BVAS.
In this century of fingerprints and facial capture, what usefulness is the PVC?
Anyway he has to account for billions of naira spent in producing the PVC's

Draslo:
Comments like this on posts like this is why I will continue to call Yorubas who voted PO bastards and saboteurs. This particular crime is everywhere in Nigeria. I remember one particular Okija shrine but somehow, it is a Yoruba thing because Nairaland Igbos will do anything to taint Yorubas. The era of being liberal is gone. I have become a tribalist as well. I will give you all a taste of your own medicine.

Like Lesotho like Biafra

But when it's drugs, it becomes an Igbo thing
Bro, tribalism is bad in all its forms!
It's either you're in or out
I refuse to be drawn on this una table of TRIBALISM.

HUMANITY FIRST

Q

This is the worst election from 2011 till date, elections of 2003-2007 of Obasanjo era are the worst!

Passionate888:
Philip Aduda in Abuja that Mrs. Ireti is contesting against

Yes, Ireti won!!

Passionate888:
Nice. This is one of the result I was waiting for, the other is Ned Nwoko, Elumelu and Aduda

Fred Aduda lost in Abuja or you mean another Aduda?

Yamiriflathead:

Although disappointing
Tinubu tried to hold Lagos with the figures he pulled so far. Lagos is the Capital of Southern Nigeria, so what were you expecting?
This was a fight between ibos+SS+woke yorubas against Tinubu supporters in Lagos who are mainly yorubas and maybe Hausas in Lagos.

I hope Tinubu and yorubas have learnt a bitter lesson from Lagos Elections not to befriend and feed a cub because it is homeless, hopeless, and dying. It will grow up and eat u up someday.

I'm happy yorubas can now sit down and ask qtns as to how they got everything wrong and redress it with BAT as President.

The take home from this defeat is..

Yorubas need to stop drafting non yorubas into the civil service and stop giving them prominent appointments. There are always technocrats who can always fit into any political office from the SW

Yorubas need to stop selling their lands to non yorubas in Lagos and SW

Yorubas need to stop giving out local government of origins to non yorubas in Lagos

Yorubas need to stop allowing non-yorubas contest for Elections in Lagos or SW

Yorubas need limit the numbers of voters registration of non yorubas going on in Lagos, they care so much about Lagos and don't care if their homes rot, Henceforth let them go home and vote. They can't come and dictate to you on how to govern urselves after creating an enabling environment for them to thrive.

Contain them politically, Period!

Congratulations to the incoming President of Nigeria BAT the ASIWAJU of Lagos for winning the most Free and fair Elections since our Nascent Democracy nothwitstanding

Sorry to say
When they say youths are the leaders of tomorrow, is this how you gonna lead?
Some of our youths will actually be worst than our current leaders!
Go for competence my brother, those westerners you imitate goes for competence and not nepotism!
Check how many positions occupied by Yorubas in the UK, maybe Uk could have contained them politically, before they overtake real indigenes!
I mean to say that nation building succeeds well with the absence of tribal and religious fanaticism!
When America elected Obama, are they being woke and stupid

Ireportlive:




Peter Obi sacked Non Anambra Indegene from Anambra State Civil Service , retrenching workers from Imo, Enugu and Ebonyi

When asked to speak on the policy, he stated it clearly that Federal Allocations were low and Anambra State money was solely for Anambra State indegenes

Ironically the same man that said Anambra State allocation were low, deposited over 75 billion naira in Access/Diamond Fidelity bank making 20% intrest for the banks he had share

Jagaban
Right now go to Alausa Secetariat, Igbo men and women who got recruited under Bola Ahmed Tinubu are now Senior Level Officers, Directors and Permanent Secretary.... Not a single Yoruba man works with Anambra Civil Service



.

The truth is he NEVER sacked anybody bro. It's good to get your facts right!

Naz34:
same way peterobi will fail woefully if given the chance. And all you bigots will be silent and creep back silently into dark hole

Bigot kor bigotry ni!
No time for all you wacked brains with wack mentality!!
What has bigotry got to do with my statement bro

Na their way!!
But he just said the truth!
Many, after openly claiming Buhari is the Messiah, they are ashamed to even talk now because the internet never forgets!

I wonder why they didn't follow this legal procedure before they "took" Nnamdi Kanu back to Nigeria!

As for Ekpa, he's just playing to the gallery with few frustrated followers and political paymasters!

Is this how they plan to win Lagos and the entire south west
By intimidation and thuggery!

There should be a level playing ground for all political parties in all parts of Nigeria!!

Sammy5413:
You're still under review bro

Hahaha
Wahala

Sammy5413:
Normal people for this country? Na only 9 we remain

I am the tenth person bro!

Stupid guy, he can rape someone one day at work!
Morals are part of work also!!

Peter Obi is really fit.
If Presidency is by physical fitness then he's far far ahead of others, they won't even come close!

Here to learn something new....
