Africans doesn't like to study or investigating unnatural things. They wait until Mongo Park will come discover the source, so they can add it to curriculum.
More reason the white race sees us as idiots.

I don't particularly understand what makes it mysterious. Like all rivers, it probably originates from an aquifer.

Any small thing, They have turned it into a religion.

Senseless lots. See the idiot asking if anyone not from Delta State can enter the water. Attaching spirituality to everything yet cannot develop their continent from the so-called spirituality.

This is a "potential" World Heritage Site for goodness sake. Look at the beauty of that iroko. This site should be a top tourist destination but when you have a stupid government and stupid citizens, what is left of the site is what you get.
you just spoke my mind

they've used kidnapping to scare off potential tourists. insecurity everywhere
the government is handicapped

A child is not older than its mother. How old is the river, and how old is this old "silk-cotton tree"? If the river is older than the so called "old silk-cotton tree", then this story is just another myth.

One thing about river is they always have many sources.

If you check, there must be many streams that source it along as it flows to each community. That's why the so called source is just small stream while along other communities it expands as big river.

You can't actually say that's the source of the river because it has aligned with bigger streams to form a River.

They should stop spreading fake info
Stop it …Etihope isn’t just ordinary…I’m living here and happy to relate with the river in east bank of the river

This world is really filled with mystery imagine those little rushing of water from that single iroko tree is what made the mighty river ethiope.

There is a contradiction in the video and in the write up about the UNESCO World Heritage site.
Are u saying the source is not a UNESCO heritage site?

don't mind the Op. The source of the river is well known. The source is there in delta state not from senegal or morocgo before they look for another mungo park to discover it

There IS NOTHING MYSTERIOUS ABOUT THAT RIVER OR THAT SILLY TREE JARE…😀

This yeye thing about making anything we cannot immediately comprehend seem mysterious needs to stop immediately. Lol..It is a backwardly lazy man excuse not to ask questions and seek answers.

The source of that River isn’t mysterious and will never be till the world ends! A good topographic map alone might even show the origin. That River is from Probably a mountain spring source. That yeye tree just found it comfortable to grow there. The fact that it is fork a spring has added to the water’s cleanliness and clarity. It doesn’t bear so much sediment. Even if it did, hitting the Niger delta, it is most likely bound to do depositional work. Forget whatever the heck is growing there or existing there. Rivers have their sources, channels, tributaries and distributaries. They form part of drainage basins.

There is nothing mysterious about a silk-cotton tree. There is nothing mysterious about that river or that yeye tree.

Did anyone else hear the man say;

"You press button, you come here, we pray for you."

This fraud is like a disease, and it's gradually, obliviously nesting in the mind and reality of a lot of individuals across several demographics in Nigeria. Well, that brought a stale ending to what would have been an interesting watch.

CHECK 08:28 - 08:36
to hear the disheartening remark.
