It is well known that manatees (sometimes known sea cows) used to be mistaken for mermaids by european sailors. Many unique species had evolved in their own unique environments and were made extinct by man because they had no natural predators in the wild and did not fear us. Many of the mammy water myths that we had about them actually protected them from us humans until the europeans arrived and slaughtered them all. Not many species survive today, but it is thought that there were hundreds, if not thousands, of different types in africa and around the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_African_Manatee Thousands of species of african animals have been quickly made extinct by man in the last 500 years and most of them have never been documented. Here is a short list of some of those that have. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extinct_animals_of_Africa 1 Like |

minus the occasional abuses, the posts on this topic have been entertaining and informative. While trying to believe its a myth or its for real we have to understand what mammy water (mami wata) means. Is it mammy water spirit (marine spirit) or mammy water being (mermaid or merman) we are discussing about? I want to believe its mermaids and mermen we are discussing here because I've read another topic about marine spirit on nairaland. As for me though I've not seem any, I believe they exist from what I've read about them, what I've been told by people (girls) who are/were involved with the marine world, what I've seen in deliverance services in churches (catholic church included) and what two young teenagers told me in Benin City, Edo State Nigeria. As a land speculator, I went to view some plots of land on Asoro Hill overlooking Ogba River in Benin City and i saw this young boy and girl who told me the appearance of a mermaid having her bath and brushing her hair is a common occurrence in the river. They swore they have seen it many times (not them say) with their naked eyes. They told me many things which I'll post someother time. I gave them my phone number and some money to call me when next they see the mermaid. I traveled back to London almost immediately. Will get you posted (with pictures) if/when ever I see them. Finding out the occurrence of mermaid is not far fetched. Visit the riverine areas of Delta State (ijaw speaking areas like Burutu Local Govt Area and its environs, you'll meet people who will tell you how to see/find them. enjoy this link: http://planettyrexania..com/2006/12/my-ex-girlfriend-has-mammy-water-spirit.html Stay blessed and away from the river/ocean/sea/stream/pond et al. |

Why do the claims of mammy water existence come only from poverty stricken ignorant societies such as sub Sahara Africa.Why? It takes a certain degree of ignorance to believe in such. Ignorance makes you to enjoy believing unverifiable illogical claims. Ignorance makes you to attach spirituality to anything you can't immediately understand. Ignorance makes poverty to thrive. |

the issue of the way a mermaid should look was theoretically treated and it wasnt pretty at all,if u want to take a cue from dolphins,sharks,seals etc...then a long blond/black silky shoulder length hair is unlikely,afro hair nko?forget it.she'll need plenty body fat to cope with ocean temp,her diet will be what?if it is fish she'll definitely need fangs or serated saw like dentition,her arms will be more like flippers,her eyes will be more like a dolphin's or a seal's.she wont be anything like the hollywood image we know,just as hollywood projected chimps as cute rascally human like pet that loves banana,milk and other oyinbo ije ku je(they fooled michael jackson to get one) only for recent studies to reveal their ruthless carnivorous tendencies. who is to say if the pple claiming that they saw a mermaid did not see a seal basking on the shore on a half moon lite night only to roll into the water on being startled. be that as it may,this planet has more areas covered by sea than land,considering the vastness,it is possible that another evolutionary path may have yielded an aquatic humanoid form,some form of advanced dolphin just like us being an advanced ape 2 Likes |

Mcbee: It beats my mind why anyone will doubt the existence of water/marine spirits. Apart from coming [me] from a coastal state back in Nigeria, I've also handled different cases of folk who were directly or indirectly possessed by these spirits. Thanks for this. I will never forget my encounter with a very lovely girl some years ago. I was initially scared but everything seemed normal afterwards. They exist but do not harm easily. My case was that I was protected against my will. Doors opened for me but I just knew it wasnt rite. Until I went for deliverance @ MFM and discovered they only leveraged on my God given aura. I could freeze water by holding on a glass cup for some minutes then. It was just out of the ordinary. Its unfortunate she died exactly the day she predicted. On her 21st b/day. WoW! That encounter has shaped my behaviou ever since. I dont easily trust people. I keep very few friends. Im indeed still very very reserved |

I believe in the existence of mermaids and mermen, because those who have actually seen them included my beloved mother Gladys Eke of blessed memory and she never lied to me. Again her first child and daughter Chioma had an uncanny love for water and during fishing festivals she was using her bare hands to bring out fish from holes by the banks of the river and nobody taught her how to swim and one midnight she swam across a river when she did not find canoes to take her across, because it was too late. It was unheard of for a 12 year old to swim across a dreaded river in Eastern Nigeria. The elders called her "Ogbanje" of the marine spirits and she died months afterwards. My father always said we were from the water, but as a Christian I rejected his claims even though I also have a passion for ponds, streams, lakes, rivers and seas and I love sea foods. Moreover I could draw strange beings from the seas and stars without any previous knowledge. My father was a meta-physician and my mother understood him very well. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I personally think we are confusin the european version of mermaids (half-human/half-fish), with Mammywater, which are water Spirits. |

redsun: We africans could be very unrealistic in our beliefs sometimes,god this,spirit that,all this beliefs are as a result of our inability to our understand our enviroment and nature in general practically and if we don't understand our enviroment,we can't control it, that is why we find it difficult to make head way as a people.We have to understand the meaning of life,what makes us breath,what makes us stand firm on the ground,then we will be able to work things out and know our purposes as humans.Myths is diffrent from reality,so far the only creatures in the sea that come close to looking like hollywood depictions of mermaid are whale species.We should introduce marine and oceanographic faculties in our universities so that we can study and explore the oceans of the world,instead of speculating.LIFE IS REAL.[color=#006600] So what happens to the Greek that have all the gods in the world? does it also mean they are stupid? please Nigerians are what they are for alot of other reason than the God or gods we serve 1 Like |
