  ENUGU — A healing mystery stream
  has surprisingly appeared in Nachi
  community in 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.
  
  
  
  The mystery stream The stream is about 4km away from
  the old Oji River/Onitsha road. According to 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. According to a source, 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, 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 Meanwhile, there had been scores of
  alleged 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. 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.
