There's a pool
in Israel in the Muslim Quarter of
Jerusalem, called Pool of Bethesda, that
is associated with healing. 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 the
pictures of people at the river in Nachi
