Scroll up, the fourth picture is the other side.

Yes I see now.
It's lower lying land and what you see is a lake of sorts. After the dam was shut (or redirected?) the residual water pooled on this side.

Wonders shall never end.

This river is called Odo Ogun deep enough to swallow a lorry, trailer, cow and human being God is great

Are you in lagos? If yes, please visit Kara tomorrow and see if this your explanation still holds

And I shall. I do not expect to see anything out of the ordinary.

This is very true, we saw it on our way from camp!!

I just passed the place and say it with my eyes. It's true. We went to redemption camp in the morning for SOD lectures and it was all flowing. Upon coming back we saw a crowD gathering on the bridge snapping pics and we were thinking that something terrible was going on. Only to see that the ex river was now like a forest that was recently plowed like d pic and people were running over it and white birds landing. We now looked at the other side and it was still flowing water. It even just rained this morning. Nawah o. I don't even know what to say.

na so tsunami dey take startoo!

gbam! na wetin I be dey rush to type

Someone will be in red mud zones and be shouting it is a lie ,it can't happen and another one will say na lie, they shut a dam. I beg which dam is supplying that water and for what purpose? At least few guys have witnessed this by showing different pictures yet stubborn heads will still be saying it can't be possible. That's why blacks harldy progress on African soil.
Looking at the scientific angle, what is possible is that the channels in which the river is coming from has been diverted and blocked and channeled to new course. Only tracking it with Google map will really shows what happened. This should not be a surprise to naija deltans. But for the Lillie that grows it is a normal thing during rainy season.

This is pure geology & physical geography playing out here......Simple explanation.....this is caused by a slight angular shift in d plate tectonics due to the earths rotation....and that explains d sudden drift of d river flow......the parent rock type also plays a major role in this......d evidence....the surrounding buildings will have visible cracks in d walls....some may collapse with time....depending on the angle of elevation and the gradient.

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?

It's true. The river got blocked at that very area you see in the picture. But what I know is that if there be a little leak, the current. of the water will be too high.

the gods of the land are angry with Buhari !!

This is great!

This is really some strange occurrence, more than 3 people have confirmed it here. Hope the right government agencies have visited the site to ascertain the truth and evaluate the situation, just in case it's a sign of something worse to come.

Nb: by the way, see Nigerians risking their lives to cross. I tire

dam? Thought the body of water at Berger is a river, likely a tributary or distributary of the lagoon. Kindly correct if I'm wrong. Lalasticlala

Very natural.

Check this out.

Am a geologist.... wait lemme come back from church, I will gist you the geology of the area.

This is more than picture snapping. There's a crack on the river bed and it's a sign of an earthquake. Government better look into it and plan to evacuate the area before disaster strikes.

BoboYekini:
We can science this schit.

The water was from a dam that has now been shut - maybe temporarily.

The green vegetation is from the water lilies that have now settled on the ground - must have been pretty dense cover in the first place. They will not be green for long.

The ground is firm, and not particularly silty or muddy because it was always hard compressed clay, overburdened over a long long time and most likely artificially leveled to allow thoroughfare. Juxtapose with the adjoining highland right to the left of it (those shanties- any regular commuter on the route knows where I refer) and the picture becomes evident.

how dumb can you be? there's water on the other side of the bridge. Can't believe some dumb folks also liked your post.Science kor

ehh

Exactly my thoughts too. When water recedes from a flooded land, it leaves behind it muddy looks. This is not the case here. My conclusion is that the water receded due to clearing of a blocked canal somewhere close

segebobo:
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?

Pure truth. I was there today.

Bros, It's no lie. My brother saw it yesterday also, when he got home and told me, I tot he was joking until I saw it on channels news.

Hmm. Maybe related to the quakes they've been experiencing in Ogun/Oyo/Osun?

Firefire:
i have not seen anything like this in my life!!! there is water on the other end of the bridge and here is as dry as if water as never touched here..

where is the photo of the other side of the bridge with water ?

exactly,just pass there life.

That's what happens when God does something.. People become confused and start looking for a scientific explanation for everything. Not everything has a scientific explanation.

There are things in this world we can't explain.

reading this thread and you wonder how many of the people that posted actually have any sort of education.

Pic or.... ?

All these Academicians from Unilag have not explained anything. Can we have a scientific explanation.

Ok we agree it dried up.

All the fishes wey dey inside nko? Shay dem disappear too?

Don't you think they are more important things for God to do? Like feeding millions of malnourished children in Africa, Stop boko haram and ISIS instead of showing up with one river. Please let's try to reason logically instead of adding religious undertone to every strange occurrence. You are actually mocking god not praising him, This is the best he can do when millions die of poverty and diseases every day?

While you praise your god a natural disaster may just be around the corner. I wonder who you will praise(or blame) for that when it happens.
