Why has no one thought of this before?!

Reminds me of that Atlantropa plan. The idea was to drain most of the Mediterranean sea to create new land between Europe and Africa. Some German guy came up with it in the 1920s and spent like 20 years trying to convince people it's a great idea and totally doable. Unfortunately everyone was busy with other stuff back then...

Honestly off the top of my head I wouldn't know that the Niger is Africa's third longest river, so I'm glad they call it that, since it makes the whole story more interesting than just an arbitrary river doing a weird thing.

Besides.. it gives it that clickbatey touch of " oooh, i wonder what's tge third longest river in africa! Better pause and check the article!"
