Since a Fulani herdsman discovered a mystery "healing river", which suddenly emerged from nowhere and took over a large expanse of land in a forest at Nnachi, in Udi LGA of Enugu State, the community has not had rest. People have continued to troop to have a spiritual bath and be made whole. However, it seems the party is coming to an end, so to say, as the river is drying up, and fast!
Checks revealed that the river is disappearing, with only a small muddy portion remaining. For the people of Nnachi, the drying up of the river is not a surprise. They said that the mystery river usually sprang up every seven years and lasts for seven days before disappearing. They, however, confessed that the last time the river emerged was about 30 years ago before appearing last November and remaining in place for more than three months.
The water, which has been nicknamed ‘River of Bethsaida,’ is located about a kilometre into the bush, off the old Awka – Enugu Expressway. Indeed, since the water appeared in the first week of November 2013, the area has turned to a
Mecca of sorts, just as jerry can sellers, food vendors, commercial motorcyclists and photographers have thronged the community for business.
A commercial motorcyclist, who took the reporter to “Bethsaida,” confessed that people, who started the business as soon as the healing river appeared “made so much money,” as, according to him,
“people come here in thousands on a daily basis; the peak periods are weekends, especially Sunday; so business has been good.”The commercial motorcyclist, who later identified himself as Ugochukwu Nweke, from Effium, in Ebonyi State, narrated how he carried a cripple to “Bethsaida” and he walked home, abandoning his crutches.
Continuing, he also stated; “People have come from very far places to be part of what is happening here. Personally, I have carried some Chinese on this bike; they were about four and they refused to be paired on one motorcycle.”
A photographer, who operates with the name, Honesty for God’s Photos, and who was selling pictures, calendar, and VCD plates of events at the river, narrated his experiences, revealing how the river is drying up. The young man, who hails from Mgbo, in the Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State said:
“I came down here in November last year because of this water and I have remained here since then. When I came here, the water covered everywhere; all these trees you are seeing now were all submerged by the water and I have witnessed several miracles and healings since I arrived. Truly, God has visited His people through this water.”You can read more on this issue HERE N HERE
“I have used my camera to record series of healings; the blind have regained their sight here. This calendar contains pictures of those healed through this water. The deaf and the dumb have been healed; cripples threw away their crutches here and walked. People have come here and cried to God for solution to various problems and as an eyewitness, I can confirm that God has blessed a lot of people here.
“But those who soiled their hands in one way or another have also received their punishment here. Some of them came here but died after washing in the water.”
Chai, bad market for my hustling igbo boys: The bike-men, the photographers, the plastic container sellers etc. lol. And for those of you still desperate for a healing, not to worry, when one door closes, another one opens up. Indeed God is a merciful God, another Miraculous healing water just emerge recently in kebbi state just before this river started drying up. So you can go there and take a deep. But remember, if you carry "bad-belle" go there, you are on your own ooo. And if boko haram catch you when you want to take their miraculous water? hmmm...i cant shout sha.
But if you have faith, Jehovah Rapha can meet you right at your sick-bed. He is the Lord that healeth thee. Amen.
