Mysterious Healing River reappears 20 years after in Enugu

On November 11, this year will continue to be in the remembrance's book of the people of
Nachi, in Udi LGA in Enugu State following the appearance of a mysterious River in their community. The River has been named a miracle River because the water has been curing diseases. Though, such wonder was not new to some elders in the community who claimed that the River always appears in every 20 years.



Read below the report:

According to reports, a Fulani Herdsmen first spotted the river and ran to people in the community to alert them of the discovery. He told them that as he passed the area with his herd of cattle, he heard a strange noise, and when he turned back, he saw the river that wasn't there previously.

The community went to look for themselves and discovered that the water has healing powers. But the traditional ruler of Nachi community said something slightly different. He said the river appears every 20 to 30 years but dries up after a few weeks so it wasn't anything new.

An elder in the community explained:

“We noticed that after some years, the water will form a stream there and would disappear in few weeks. If such happens, we will be fetching water there. However, women who are menstruating and evil people don’t go there. We never heard about healing power of the River until this recent appearance of the River.

“The last time it appeared was in 1992, and at that time, it just formed a small stream, which later disappeared. It has never been as large as this. This is all I know, we have never known about its healing power, this is the first time we are hearing about healing, I don’t whether it is true”.
