The Traditional ruler of Oworonsoki, Oba Basiru Oloruntoyin Saliu has explained why the Bristow helicopter crashed yesterday. He attributed the cause of the incident to the refusal of the government to pay attention to tradition, noting that the crash might have been caused by the lagoon goddess.The monarch said as soon as the incident occurred, he deployed all his chiefs and princes to the scene to assist in the rescue operation.
The government no longer pays attention to traditional rites which is necessary to prevent such occurrences. For instance, how many times have we appeased the goddess this year?
“An occurrence like this may be caused by the goddess because no human being can depict the depth of the lagoon; but if the goddess is appeased, she would have prevented such occurrence,
” Oba Saliu said.The helicopter belonging to Bristow Helicopters with 12 people on board, yesterday, crashed into the Lagoon near the Oworonsoki end of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos

I expect the "goddess of the lagoon"" is also responsible for the level of poverty in Oworonsoki as well?

The Oba should look for a new religion - it appears his "goddess" is long DEAD!

Oh Boy! I tire for all these religious superstitions, First Ooni of Ife needed someone to die with him, now some imaginary woman living in water and given the title of a goddess has swallowed the helicopter! Nigerians please wakeup from your slumber, the world is laughing at us, when USA and Europe are busy developing nuclear programs, trying to find out whats going on in the moon and other planets, we are still trying to solve mysteries of one goddess or no goddess, the damn helicopter should be investigate and see what (the lack of maintenance) has caused, diagnose it and find out the cause of the crash, I mean like get the black box (if helicopters have one) and things like that, you know, just say or do something a tad bit intelligent, not all these god of river was not appeased nonsense.
