Have you heard of a river in Ekiti State with mysterious fish that would never get cooked? It shocked you, right? It shocked us too!

During our adventure trip, we visited Erin Ayonigba River, with a strange kind of fish in Erinjiyan Ekiti. The river is said to heal various ailments.

The man who took us to the river told us to buy bread, as that is the only food that will attract the fish to swim up. We bought the bread.

When we got to the river, we cut the bread into small pieces and threw it into the river, and in seconds, all the fish swam up to eat the portions of bread. We were all surprised.

The man also told us some strange things that are hard to believe. According to him, it is a taboo to boil water from the river or dilute it with hot water. The people believe that the fish in the river are children of the river goddess; nobody kills a fish and takes it home to cook, as the fish would never get cooked.

If the person cuts the fish into small pieces and cooks the fish, the water would be boiling above the fish while the pieces would join to become a whole fish in the pot.

That sounds strange, right? You really need to visit the village.
