The Mystery behind Orashi and Ogbuide: 2 Igbo rivers that cannot mix no matter how you try.

In imo State, Nigeria there is a river known as 'Oguta Lake'. 'Oguta Lake' is among the largest water body in Nigeria. However the lake consist of two very angry rivers, called Orashi and Ogbuide. The two river can never mix no matter how you try, and they also has different colour. Orashi is muddy in colour while Ogbuide is greenish in colour.

These two river are close to each other, but they has never mix. A lot of people have tried to mix them together, but they always separate. If you put the both of them in a bucket they will seperate in the bucket, and if you put them in a smaller bucket or cup, they will split or break the cup into two.

Scientist said that the two rivers cannot mix because they have different density, and huge distinction in temperature and because of that they cannot mix, and if you try to force them their seperate density will split them apart.
However legends has another reason why the both rivers can never mix.

According to the Igbo legends, many years ago the both rivers named Orashi and Ogbuide, were both humans couple. Orashi was a man and Ogbuide was a woman, they were married and they were so much in love, but one day they had a very big fight and they became very angry with each other. The both of them separated, and they reincarnated into the two rivers, and up till now they are still very angry and that is why they can never mix.

Other Rivers That Do Not Mix


Two river in Anambra State named 'Agwazi and Obizi' can not mix.
'Waterway Ezu and Streak Omambala' can not mix as well.
Two rivers are 'Imo Nekede' named 'Ola Mmiri' and 'Ota Mmiri' can never ever mix.
Although the scientific explanation seems like a valid explanation, but what can we say about the explanation of legends. The legends can also be right because they understand history more than anyone else.
What is your opinion about this? Do you think there is another reason why these rivers cannot mix?

Do you know any other rivers or stream that do not mix??

The picture you added is not even from Nigeria. That's by the way.

I've been to Oguta lake at that point that cannot mix. Whether it is scientific or legendary, I do not know. What I know for sure is that the sight was a beauty to behold.

I tend to believe the scientific explanation more because I have witnessed severally, where flood of different colors flow very long distance without mixing.

Until I get those two waters from that lake, put them in a keg, shake it very well, I won't believe the legend.
