A healing mystery stream
has surprisingly appeared
in Nachi community in the
Udi Local Government
Area of Enugu State,
almost 42 years after it
allegedly surfaced and
disappeared in the same
place.
The miracle stream, as it
is now fondly called by
millions of Nigerians, both
young and old, especially
sick ones and their
relations, surfaced and
disappeared in 1972 and
reappeared this time
around in the area about
two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, there had
been scores of
healing testimonies
from sick people who
either swam in or
drank from the
stream. According to
reports, dozens of
people, young and
old including security
operatives were seen
fetching the water
just as many were
taking their bath in
the stagnated
stream, believing it
would cure ailments.
The stream is about 4km
away from the old Oji
River/Onitsha road.
According to Vanguard
reports, the stream, which
has continued to attract
healing seekers, was first
noticed by a Fulani
herdsman who went to the
area to feed his cattle,
and suddenly saw water
gushing out from a sandy
farm land close to where
he was standing.
Before the Fulani man
could turn his back, the
entire area had water
about five feet deep.
The Fulani herdsman was
said to have alerted some
farmers in the community
about what he saw. They
went to see things for
themselves, after which
they took the news to the
traditional ruler of the
community, His Royal
Highness Igwe Onuigbo,
Obi (11) of Nachi.
A visit to the wonder
stream on Tuesday
showed that the
community had turned it
into a pilgrimage centre
with the development,
opening up windows of
business for the people,
especially plastic
container sellers, food
vendors, commercial
motorcyclists and vehicle
operators as they now
make brisk businesses.
Healing testimonies
Some people said to have
been taken to the stream
last Saturday with
crutches and other
supporting devices, were
said to have gone home
rejoicing after dipping
themselves in the stream.
One Mr. Cyril Eneh, a civil
servant, shortly after
coming out of the water
was quoted as saying:
“Indeed, this is a
miraculous water, people
with different sicknesses
have been coming here to
receive their healing. And
I also have the faith and
strong belief that God
Almighty, who provided
this water will use it to
tackle every health
challenge in my life.”
Also speaking, an
octogenarian and
community leader in
Nachi, Mr. Festus Udeh,
said the stream surfaces
and disappears every 20
to 30 years, adding that it
forbids evil things. He
said any evil doer that
goes to the stream might
run into serious problem
