Why Are People Who Get Drowned In The River Buried By The Riverside? by atiku4President(m): 9:41am On Apr 11
I am from a riverine village and ever since I was born, I have noticed that anyone who gets drowned in any of the rivers around my village is usually buried by the side of that particular river where the person got drowned. In fact, it's usually not negotiable. Not only that, most of the victim's belonging like clothes, shoes etc are brought from the victim's house and buried along with the victim. The next day life would continue and one would see children and adults swimming, playing and shouting at the top of their voices in the river. I don't really know why it's is so.

One thing again I noticed is that those of from the villages where the rivers are situated hardly get drowned in these rivers. In fact, to say 'hardly gets drowned' is being economical with the truth. Till today, I have never heard of anyone from my village or other villages that boarder the rivers who got drowned in any of the rivers. It's usually people from the upland villages and distant communities that get drowned in the rivers. In fact, on one occasion, it was one young man from the same community with me, but from one of the upland villages. That very day on my way coming back from the river, he rode recklessly past me on his old bicycle going to the river. After sometime, news began to filter in from the busy river that he got drowned in the river. I was shocked to my marrows to hear that and only told a few people that I saw him going to the river some minutes ago.

It is the river that took them so they belongs to the river, that's why. Same with deity, if oracle kill you your corpse will be taken to the shrine.

The water spirit/marine spirits will modify the soul of those that is buried beside the water . This demonically modified souls will be given to ladies that came to the water to seek for the fruits of the womb.

Those ladies will become pregnant and give birth to babies that are here on earth for demonic assignments.

I said this are demonic modified souls that no longer obey the law of nature. A normal soul created by God is assigned to die once and after that judgement. But these ones I'm referring to are no longer normal souls created by God . Are actually demons in human form
