its a mystery of nature a traditional nigerian story concerning a sudden spring of water and event with or without a
in Enugu State that has been turned into a pilgrimage for healing,
deliverance, miracles and curse....
Osaseye will attempt to solve the riddle of the mysterious lake in
Nigeria. It was once a relatively unknown farmland that belongs to
Ameke Nachi community in Udi Local Government Area of Enugu
State. On November 11, 2013 the prophecy, blessing, religious
idiosyncrasy, mystery or faith of the dirty filthy lake, began the
pilgrimage of miracles, diseases and criticism.
The lake was alleged to have surfaced and disappeared in the
same place in 1992 and has appeared about three times in the last
80 years.
Since the appearance of the mystery lake, measuring about 120 to
170 metres in width, thousands of Nigerians, both young and old
throng the lake seeking all divine intervention in their lives. For
some, it worked according to their faith: The blind saw. The
sickness stricken is healed. The lame walked. But for others, it a
mere curse of affliction. One that has lead the State Ministry of
Health to call it a disaster and an epidermic waiting to happen. "I
don’t know what you mean by Miracle Water, although as a
Christian, I will not say people should not get a miracle from
wherever they want."
"However, from the health perspective, what is happening in Nachi
is not the right thing to do. People take their bath in the water;
people defecate there, people urinate there, all kinds of sicknesses
are brought into that water, yet people fetch and drink the same
water. I can tell you that the Nachi Water is a groundwork for [a]
disaster waiting to happen."
Nigerian atheist Leo Igwe who has received multiple death threats
for his statement of
"Act immediately and prevent the looming epidemic in Nanchi and
the surrounding communities."
"Many people are coming from outside Enugu state, so the entire
south east is at risk too. The sight of gullible Nigerians zealously
swimming in this polluted mystery lake, not minding the filthy
nature of the water, is a clear indication of the decadent state of
the mind in Nigeria."
"Many people are ready to compromise basic health principles in
their quest for miracles. And this is a strong sign of how
brainwashed many Nigeria are and have become."
"Many Nigerians are easily swayed by any claim of miracle cure or
faith healing in a church or in a mosque, by Muslims or by
Christians, from mecca or Jerusalem or India. Many Nigerians
hardly ask questions particularly when it comes to issues
concerning faith healing and miracles."
"If Nigerians are critical enough, some would surely have wondered
how any sick person can be healed by swimming or bathing with
the smelly stench water from Nanchi Lake? But many people
across the country do not and will not ask questions. The critical
faculty of many ordinary Nigerians has been corrupted by the virus
of blind faith, dogma and sanctified ignorance."
Business opportunities are booming around the lakeside. Doubts of
the two month old mystery lake still exist. People that was helped
into it were also helped out. The Christmas present to many is
starting to generate a security risk to the public
