Mysterious River With Healing Water Appears In Enugu

Wonders are happening in Nachi, a community in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, as mysterious healing water, already named “Orimiri Jordan”, (River Jordan), appears in its territory. The journalists, who visited the community on Tuesday, report that it has indeed become a Pilgrimage Centre, playing host to people from all parts of Nigeria. Crowds of people arrive at the site just to dip into the river possessing healing power. 

The whole story started on November 2011.

Community sources claim that a Fulani herdsman ran to the community and announced how water covered the place just few minutes after he passed.  

"He told us that he passed that place with his herd of cattle and soon after, heard a strange noise; when he turned back, he discovered that a big stream has appeared at the same place he just passed with his cattle."

The traditional ruler of Nachi community, His Royal Highness, Igwe F.O Onuigbo, Obi II of Nachi, told told the journalists that the mystery River was older than him.

Onuigbo said that in 1940s there was no water at that place, only white sand, but if one wanted to drink, one could scratch the surface of the land - and water would fill one's hand immediately. Interestingly, commenting on what is all used to be like in the past, he added, that no water would come out for evil people.

Some people say that there used to be a small stream before, but later it disappeared. Still nobody claims to have been aware of the river healing power.

A lot of people gather at the place to test the water in action.

Mr. Daniel, the Okada operator, disclosed that he abandoned his vulcanizing job to benefit from the new business.

He says, "I have a vulcanizing shop at the Nachi Market, but when this new business came, I had to close the shop temporarily so that I can also make money here. I hardly make N1000 a day there in my shop, but since I joined this Okada transport to the Enugu Jordan River, I make no less than N10, 000 every day. One of my friends called my attention to it, and I will forever be grateful to him."
