by Eniola Arowosegbe/28 February 2020Last updated on Located in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria, Imo State. The Oguta Lake is the largest natural lake in the state also, in South-Eastern Nigeria. It has its width 2.41 kilometer and a length of 8.05 kilometre. The Njaba River is the major source
inflow of the Oguta Lake, while its other three sources are Awhana, Utu and Orashi.
The lake is surrounded by green trees of the rain forest. The uniqueness of this lake is a
mysteriously beautiful one. Giving that there is a confluence in the lake, it
is expected that the two rivers mix, but shockingly they do not mix together.
Like how is that possible? Who knows maybe scientists have an explanation for
this. There are three historical stories about the Oguta Lake. Firstly, the story based on traditional belief is that the two rivers, Urashi and Ogbuide, having the colors brown and green respectively. It is held that the Urashi river is male, while the Ogbuide is female, the traditional story behind them not being able to mix is that the two rivers were once married and later a quarrel ensued between them which made them separate and never to mix again. The
second historical story is that the lake was one of the territories which the
British used in penetrating into the Igbo hinterland. The
last is that the lake was used as a base by the Nigerian Navy during the
Biafran war, which is why there is a bunker in the bushes surrounding the lake.
There are also accounts of the former Biafran war boots to be found in various
areas surrounding the lake. There are two shrines in both sides of the lake, this is because over the years, the indigenes have adapted a traditional worship to the two rivers as a god and goddess. The indigenes reverence the lake as an integral part of their lives because it serves as a means of transportation, food, and source of income for them. Things to do at Oguta Lake Have a boat or canoe ride and ensure you get to see the unique confluence. since it is the most striking feature that welcomes tourists to Oguta Lake.If you have the audacity, swim at the shallow edges of the lake.Capture images of the confluence and other photographs to keep memory.Eat a bowl of pounded yam and ofe nsala, also known as white soup, since it is the traditional food of the Oguta people.

The crocodiles are considered as goddesses as they appear from the lake by the incantation and command of the chief priest to take offerings from its worshippers. Ani Ozalla Practices The Ani Ozalla Lake and Shrine is a genuine throwback to the old religious practices of the residents, the natural site is a place for attraction, cultural and outdoor entity. Tourists who like to see the crocodiles must come with a white fowl, a keg of palm wine and kola nuts which the chief priest offers to the crocodiles. However, there are other rules that must be adhered to before visiting and during the tour of the lake. Some of these rules and regulations are: The presentation of a white fowl, palm wine and kola nut is necessary.One must have taken his/her bath before visiting the Ozalla Lake and Shrine, if not the crocodiles would not appear.After attending a funeral ceremony, you just not visit the lake the same day.You must take a thorough bath after engaging in sexual intercourse, if not the crocodiles will not welcome you.A woman in her menstrual period must not visit the lake.The legs of the visitors must not touch each other on their way to the lake.The chief priest must not return home late at night, after having any event.The crocodiles forbid noise making, and if there?s any noise they would not appear.

The Ekwe is an integral part of the Ani Ozalla shrine especially during festivals Based
on its safety and security, it is rated good, but pay attention and heed to
what your tour guide says and heed to where he/she permits, because you are
liable to be attacked by crocodiles or get attacking looks from the indigenes
of the land. There are two times when they have the Ani Ozalla festival in a year, and that during the raining season and the dry season.
