Water hyacinth is a free-floating perennial aquatic plant (or hydrophyte) native to tropical and sub-tropical South America. With broad, thick, glossy, ovate leaves, water hyacinth may rise above the surface of the water as much as 1 meter in height.

Eichhornia crassipes, commonly known as common water hyacinth, is an aquatic plant native to the Amazon basin, and is often a highly problematic invasive species outside its native range.

all in all,,hyacinth na plant wey grow on water

Now that hyacinth has covered the water, pothole full the road, cloudy rain covers the atmosphere...don't you think something bigger is coming ...be ready anyways

Hmmn.

Nonsense did this happened overnight,same way roads will be left with potholes

Water hyacinth multiplies every 4-7 days, and it is a very problematic aquatic weed that has spread over 50 countries in 5 continents. No method has been able to completely eradicate it as the seeds can remain viable for 25 to 30 years. It cost thousands of dollars to manage it's proliferation. The problem of this aquatic weed is it's control. Even if you harvest from fresh water bodies, it will start growing again after two weeks.

Bros this big biological explanations might confuse the guy. Simply put water hyacinth are "sea weeds" just like the ones we have around our plants in farms.

Funny enough wen u tell people that this Hyacinth can be sold for 1million naira per leaf before you finish.. Dem don remove am

Water hyacinth are best controlled biologically. Let them call me for rescue

Are they not suppose to observe this on time before boarding passengers on the water.
Na wa for this Nigeria sef. Small things they can't do well.

I know 90% of Nlders viewing this see it as challenge and environmental nuisance but



It is a

raw material .
The weed biomass can be used for bioremediation and bioadsorption of metals and pollutants; biogas and biofuel production, composting and vermicomposting, as feed for animals and fish; as carbon source for microbial growth; for various medicinal and other uses.

You oversabi the country @realestniggah. Always embezzling at any small chance

instead maked em authorize the Herdsmen to deploy a battalion of cows on boats to go and do the job.

Hyacinth for water, port hole for road. Na wa

Duggedised12:
my thoughts too

it does happen overnight. if you live close to riverine areas you will know

Magichand:

You can see it physically.

The state government must do something to destroy those plants.

Road no good, water no good. May God have mercies on us o.

Npfn:
So no machine to remove it

machine dey to clear the Hyacinth now.. A prof from FUTA construct a perfect working machine early last year but government did not invest in it..some Africa countries bought the idea and they are using it well

I remember it was bought and planted in our ecosystem around 1984 to check the flooding of some part of Lagos state,particularly VI.
Within a short period it became a menace that affected fishing and aquatic lives.
I just hope someone rich can see a business opportunity here.From YouTube video I watched it's now possible to harvest and process the plant for human use

It's a sign of harmattan in Lagos.

Indians use the water hyacinth in making bags, paper and other products, I learnt. I reckon it could be used as organic waste for alternative power plants.

Did the so called hyacinth emerge over night? How come the operators didn't take cognizance of that until it becomes this bad. Anyway Nigeria Situation.

they need to get rid of this ASAP before it becomes a BIG problem. that's a pest, right there. the bedbugs of the ponds and rivers. if nothing is done soon enough, they could grow to entirely cover the width of the lake, hence reducing nutrients and killing aquatic life. The fishing industry could be gravely affected, and this will affect the state's GDP.

hyacinth.... lakwa native name ............. it will only dry up in dry season. this is a common aquatic plant in lagos and other lagoon areas.

When I inquired as to the origin of that name "Lakwa" that was given to water hyacinth by the Ilaje river tribes, it was explained that "lakwa" is short for the full Yoruba sentence of "La ku wa", meaning go and die.

Wondering why water hyacinth is associated with death, I learned that it is common for boats to be TRAPPED for DAYS in DEEP water, by a thick mass of floating water hyacinth through which conventional outboard boat engines cannot make progress. Furthermore, I was told, the mass of tentacles that is the lakwa water weed, would quickly entangle and drown even the most powerful swimmer who dared leave any boat stuck in place by the weed mass.

In brackish and tidally salty water common throughout Nigeria's mangrove shoreline, getting trapped aboard a boat for days on end can mean dying of thirst in the midst of abundant UNDRINKABLE water, under the blazing sun, or amid a violent lightning storm, depending on the time of year, and on the fickle finger of fate. Since commuting by boat is primarily an option available to Nigeria's working poor, getting trapped aboard a boat by floating weeds, could spell death for all aboard, since organized rescue may never materialize.

Indeed, Lakwa the floating water weed that turns rivers into pastures overnight, has earned its name among those aware of its perils to river transport craft. That said, the menace of lakwa floating weed, is a multi-million dollar business opportunity just BEGGING to be exploited, by the importation of AIR BOATS, from the USA, to Nigeria.

Powered by airplane engines mounted in rear-facing cages, airboats are IDEALLY suited to gliding effortlessly over ANY water weed surface, for MILES on end, without breaking a sweat. No Lakwa growth can impede the progress of an air-boat. Why nobody has imported airboats to Nigeria thus far, is a true mystery, because the earning potential of such amphibious craft is ENORMOUS, particularly where floating weeds such as lakwa, are a danger to river transport.
