In Nigeria, rumours of mystical/divine
healing waters have been circulated ever
since the news of the river in Nachi, a
community in Udi Local
Government Area of Enugu State, became
viral on the Internet. Already named 'Orimiri
Jordan'[River Jordan], it has become a
pilgrimage centre of sorts, playing host to
people from all parts of the country. The
river which just "popped up" from no where
is said to be nick-named "Pool of
Bethsaida" and appears every 20 years, as
confirmed by the indegenes, this year the
pool was discovered by Fulani herdsmen
who were on their way to feed their cattle.
According to them, they passed the spot
where the water usually came from and
there wasn't any water, but on their way
back they discovered the whole place has
been covered with water. The river which
do appear once in 30yrs is said to
possess "healing powers" and people
do flock there once it appears. According
to the oldest man in the community, the
water appears every 20 or 30 years, they
first saw it in 1971.
He also confirmed that various diseases
and ailments have been cured at the pool.
Most people who visited the area gave
testimonies on how they received healing
from the water. Pictures of the healing
water is spreading real quick. See some of
