I visited Oguta Lake confluence and saw this...

One unique feature of Oguta lake is the confluence of the Blue water and the Muddy Urashi River. This particular spot is where two distinct colours of water “meet” without mixing. This confluence could be described as a magnificent ecological wonder and this is one top attraction that keeps tourists visiting Oguta lake in large numbers. I took a trip to the lake to see the confluence. It was an amazing experience.

As a student, I did a documentary on this Lake for IMSU.. the title was Oguta Lake: Waters Within Land, submitted in the non-competitive category at the Zuma film festival, Abuja in 2008. I enjoyed the experience.. interviewing Ajie and elders of the land.. heard the legend of Nwanyiocha, the woman that used to come out of the water and appear to people in various lowly human forms (beggar, mad woman, etc) asking for help; if you helped her, she would give you the tool to become a rich person. I heard she made so many Oguta people so rich in those days. My team and i visited the Ogbuide and Urashi shrines just by the rivers. We were told about Aba, a portion of land by the Lake where people who drown in the Lake are buried. We were told about the ritual of fetching and throwing firewood in the Lake every Orie market day. It was a rich documentary. The academic views of professors who disagreed with the long held myth of the confluence made it even more interesting. At the film festival, one of the organizers wondered why we didn't submit the documentary in the competitive category.
But i had a scary experience shooting the documentary. Petrol finished on the speed boat just as we were at the center of the lake. None of us wore life jacket, and none of us could swim. It's a story for a another day.

Jesus Christ! The last part of your comment is scary. I was actually enjoying the captivating nature of your documentary until I got to that last part where petrol finished in the speed boat right in the middle of the lake and no one on the boat, including you and your team members wore a life jacket. That's really scary but I thank God you survived to tell the story. 😂But your documentary must have been very rich. I wish I could go back to Oguta to get the details you mentioned here about the lake and produce another video. May be I should consider that option. Thanks for the amazing information.

@@tourgecko Thank God we survived it. We were completely horror-struck, that's the best word. A fisherman who was returning from work took pity and gave us a paddle and we paddled to the shore by that large hotel. The boat man joined the fisherman and went to buy petrol. The memories are still horrific. I will never go there again, even if I wear 20 life jackets.
The worst part of the story is that one of us had a premonition that something bad might happen and refused to come with us. The boat guy dismissed that and assured us nothing would happen.
Yes, Prof. It was a rich documentary. It would be interesting if you can do other videos pertaining to the lake.
Natives don't drown in the lake, except they commit an abomination. That's why natives who drown in the lake are buried at the portion of land called Aba, it is a burial ground for the forbidden. It's just by the lake.
