Na the hippo wey kill the woman be this?

yes

Like their leaders, like the followers... If the hippo was killed, they will call the woman all sorts of names. You will see their animal activism will soar so high. But now no one cares much about the woman and the unborn child. The zoo will always value animal than human

It's true. I lost my cousin there 5years ago. Her corpse was only recovered after 5days of her demise. Some rituals had to be performed. She was buried at the river bank. It doesn't kill indigenes.

Omo

I stayed in Benue wella so the gossip of the river was lowkey popular.

Sorry for your loss.

Thanks bro.
If u go there now, as in, right now, u would see Tiv and Jukun kids of 7years in the river fishing right inside the river. These are indegenes. A non indigene can't dare it

If the hippo later gets caught & served in plates, the Animals' Right Activists would be shouting all over the thread.

Hippos are territorial..
If you want peace,keep out of their territory..
It's that simple..
Even Crocodiles knows this..

God rest her soul. Was actually a river I swim when I was growing up. We have killed crocodile there before

You are the one encroaching on its habitat..
Keep off its territory and you will live to see another day..
It is that simple..

I never knew Hipi is these dangerous but in a real sense how come existing in such arid area baffles me.

they are very dangerous. A crush from a hippo and that is the end. They are also very aggressive and the worst is u can't outspace them with how fat they are they are also very fast

Stupid hippo didn't it see the woman was pregnant

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 happen 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 weee 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. 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 seer.

This indigenous wizard dove into the water and transformed into a crocodile as he swam downstream. Omo, na so  I start to go home sharp sharp. 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 placate 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. 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.

Hugging river

You are right.
You’ll see them rowing the canoe the middle and distributing their net. Some are divers who bring out sand. But they never drown.
