Been wondering...Moses can have good explanation to this...he could tell when the red sea would dry up. because he knew the cause.

Scientific stunts...nature is powerful...examine it

This reminds me of Dilibe Onyeamas book on the difference between a black man and a white man. He said white man comes face to face with a highland or mountain, he immediately starts thinking what is on the other side and how he could conquer the mountain and get to the other side. But a black man will immediately see his enemies at work. They have come to block his progress. He quickly gathers sticks, wood and stone and builds an altar to his God. He will rather dwell there that attempt to climb the mountain.

There must be a scientific explanation to this water receding but my people are already shouting end time, God is marvellous, it's a most amazing thing, bla bla bla

We need a reconfigured approach to life in this jet age century

I don't know why people like demeaning themselves. This is not a difference between white and black or green and yellow. It's the difference between primitive man and modern men, enlightened and uninformed. White people have been worshipping mountains for thousands of years it's only recently they started applying reason and science. Were they black all the while.

It would be interesting to know what's really happening. If am to investigate, I would first found out how dry is it really. I will drive a long stick through the weed and check what depth I encountered water. I will try to find our what plant that is and also check under the bridge and see what caused the discontinuity to the other side.

Sorry about that, what am saying is any unenlightened and primitive man either white black yellow or red can see the mountain and erect an altar. It's the level of sophistication and education.
The whites were as superstitious as any other people but gradually they got enlightened, till date there are still white people who are superstitious even famous white people.

I am not opinionated on this. My post only quoted an author and i applied the passage to the supposed river that became dry and people were walking on the water hyacinth. I only said there could be possible scientific explanation other than end times. Sha no vex.

Pls,investigate the lagoon under third mainland bridge. I am beginning to see a form of vegetation growing on top of the lagoon. I dunno if I the only one that noticed this.
What I am imagining now is if the lagoon ends up looking lyk ds river

This isn't mysterious or spiritual, river algae can grow rapidly in hours and cover the entire river and can die rapidly too. (it's like water leaf). It's usually a threat to water transport and can destroy propellers in some boats.

We did geography and social studies, basically there are 3 stages of a river, this is a typical feature of a lower stage. Yes it is a threat to the river ecosystem that is why government should remove it asap. There would be sharp increase in oxygen and increased methane gas from dead flora.

Lower stage (when a river loses velocity and the river or a portion of it is dying) of a river can commence naturally or by man/construction.

This is a pure lie. See the ground level and the level the houses around the supposed river land are?:are those houses under water before?
bros its not a lie, i walked on the river yesterday evening to confirm the incidence. as for the houses u mention, thats the popular kara market situated at the river banks! the river flows under the long bridge just before ojodu berger.

Ok, I can recognise the Blue house in the first pic but what I don't understand is that how come the river bed is now covered with 'bush' or vegetation . Ain't it supposed to be muddy?
water still flows under! it seem the seaweed is just thick enough to form a mesh which enable people to walk over it! i confirmed that!

EDhims:
I think the river is undergoing an aging process or possible effect of excess nutrition
Simply I can say its either natural eutrophication or cultural eutrophication
It has a whole lot of impact on the biodiversity there. Because the growth of the sea weed will reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen leading to anaerobic condition beneath and the fishes and other organisms that depend on oxygen will gradually being to die. Soon that environment will start producing a fowl smell.
Wish I can just run a paper work there sharply
bravo! this is the most appropriate scientic explanation i hav come across rather than all those geological jargons. Eutrophication( nutrient enrishment of water bodies) caused by the discharge of organic waste into water leading to alga boom(regenerative seaweed). Considering human activities around that river banks, ur explanation is not blown out of proportion. kudos to you fellow scholar!

but don't you think your reply is hypocritical, you said you prefer chasing monkeys to rational thinking but you would love to use the end result of those who try to figure things out and make life better for everyone. I am not against believes but it irritates me when we meet phenomenon that are alien to us and we just lazily ascribe a supernatural curse to it without investigating. remain blessed too.

Guy guy guy as you see me so I don't have strength to argue or talk about this.. For one I don't care what you think.. I know what I said and I owe you no explanation. Let science do their it's not my business. But as a Christian I can't do anything without acknowledging God. Please just stop.
