The news fly all around and the hitherto serene
community becomes busy playing host to people from
far and near seeking miracle healing to their ailments in a stream that sprang up suddenly.

The physically challenged, the aged, young, men and
women including people with different kinds of
sicknesses throng the pool in droves, dip themselves
naked in the 3-4feet deep stagnated water, wash the
ailing parts of their bodies believing they are healed.

Although the testimonies were not forth coming, the
lame, blind still assisted with mixed feelings, believed
that they will be healed.

The mysterious pool, called Orimiri located in a forest
about 3km from the Nachi bus-stop along Onitsha/
Enugu old road, allegedly heals all kinds of ailments after
it was discovered by a Fulani herdsman recently.

Since the discovery, the community has become a
pilgrimage center with no fewer than 3000 people
thronging the place daily. From morning till 6pm daily,
okada ply through that narrow and sandy path carrying
passengers and their loads of jerry cans to the stream

When Saturday Vanguard visited the stream, scores of
people especially women were seen naked dipping their
bodies in the already contaminated stream in the quest
for healing. As those with tumor, sores and injuries
wash their bodies without any reservation, the
physically challenged were being assisted by their
relatives for thorough bath. Others were busy scooping
up water from different holes dug around the bank into
their plastic containers of various sizes.

The people’s craze for healing was also seen as they
collect sands from the stream into cellophane bags to
their homes believing even the sands under the water
was as effective as the stream itself. The trees in the
surroundings were also not spared as people chop trees
into various sizes with a claim that it cures all kinds of
sicknesses.

But none of these miracle seekers at the stream as at
the time of visit could give a clear testimony of the
healing he or she had received. Most of them who
spoke with us opined that they believe it will work.
A middle aged woman, who refused to give her real
names who never suspected she was talking to the
press, said: “I just came here for to exercise my faith. I
have not seen any one though, but I believe it. I just
had a bath in the water and I believe it. I believe God
that I will be okay.”

But Donatus Ike, who claims he has been coming to the
stream on a daily basis since the news of the healing
power broke said: “I always come here every day to
work; I guide people in doing certain things here. The
water has healing power. A lot of people came from far
and near. Not too long ago, Rev. Mbaka came here, he
prayed for people. The lame will work, the blind will
see. You can see a crutch over there; it was dropped
by somebody who couldn’t work.”

Amobi Chukwu in his own view said: “I think it is all
about faith. What you call medicine is medicine for
you. I also believe the water has healing power. The
water is dirty and it was because a lot of people come
here and bath inside the water and you know this is
not a flowing river. That is why people dig the river
bank to get better water to drink. It is drinkable.”

But the controversies surrounding the healing power of
the stream, began to unfold as Rev. Father Chikezie
Cypril a.k.a Okanga Jesus, the Parish Priest, St. Michael
Catholic Church, Oji, Enugu described those who seek
healing from the stream are spiritual puppets. Cypril
who is also the Chaplain of the Physically Challenged in
the area said, said he has not heard from any of the
physically challenged in his domain that one person
had been healed from the water. “I don’t believe it.

I am the chaplain of the physically challenged and none
of them has come to me to give that testimony of
healing; and this is happening in their area. I mean not
even one person has come to confirm it. I know that
most of them have gone there and nothing is
happening. So, you see, people tend to confuse you
with certain things. As I am speaking to you, no
member of this community has shared a testimony
about the water.”

In the same vein, Chief Ignatius Ene Chikeluba who
claimed he was born in the farmland gave an insight
into the beginning of the whole parody. He stated that
it was the Fulani herdsmen who concocted and spread
the story of healing power without any clear evidence.

“Throughout the period I stayed in the farmland, we
have never heard about the healing power being
ascribed to the water. It is a concoction of the Fulani
herdsmen. I know that revelation from God can come
through any body but my advice to them is that
whatever they are saying should be the whole truth and
nothing but the truth,” Chikeluba stated.


The traditional ruler of Nachi community, His Royal
Highness, Igwe F. O. Onuigbo, Obi II of Nachi, in his
own submission said the water has been there for a
very long time, adding that the healing power ascribed
to it was only a recent phenomenon which he did not
confirm.

“River Nachi is natural water which has been there for
a very long time which people use for their cooking,
drinking and washing. The healing power is something
new and I have not visited the place. But the water has
been there before. People said it is healing; I can’t stop
anybody from going there to seek cure and healing. I
have no right to do that.”

On the pattern surge, Igwe Onuigbo said he didn’t know
about the coming and occasional surge of the water. “I
do no know of that”

He confirmed that the land where the water is situated
has been in dispute between Ameke and Umuaga for a
very long time, adding that efforts are on-going to
resolve the issue between the two communities
amicably.

History of the water

Chief Ignatius Chikeluba, a Chief in Umuaga-Nachi, who
claimed the farm land belongs to his father, gave
historical perspective of the stream. “According to my
own father, Ogbonnaya Ene Chikeluba, there was a man
called Aniene, a native of Umuaga, he was the first man
who saw the water. He used to be a farmer in the area.
He came out one morning to discover the sudden surge
of the water. He ran out to call others that were
farming in the area to witness it. At that point, the
water was named Miri Aniene.

This happened long time before I was born, it was
never known as having healing powers. We used it to
wash cloths, cassava and other culinary activities. It
used to surge after every seven years. After the war, it
came in 1972, 1979, 1986, 1994, 2000, 2005 and now
2013. When it comes, it is usually there until the next
raining season. It is deterred by the rain or sun shine, it
comes at any season of the year. We have never
worshipped the water before.”

“Before it came this year, there were Fulani herdsmen
who live in that farm; they always take their cattle there
to drink from the water. So, recently, a group of
people came to my house, I recognised one of them
who had lived there before, and I asked curiously
whether he wanted to return to the farm again and he
said no. But he said that the water which used to
spring up had sprung up again and that it has healing
power – curing all kinds of ailments. I told him that we
don’t know about that. He said they discovered the
healing power of the water the last time it came and
they asked the herdsmen to be monitoring it. So, the
Fulani herdsmen who have been monitoring it informed
immediately it came out. After a while, another group
of herdsmen came and said the same thing. But I
pointed it out to them that their cattle had damaged my
farm and they should do something about it and they
moved away from the area. But surprisingly, after some
time, another group of people came this time, with
some Igbos. I was the one who cleared the way to the
river. I have palm tree in that place, banana plantation,
cola-nut trees, orange among others. It is a farm
settlement of Umuaga. At this junction, I want to state
that the Nachi people have been trying to encroach on
the land claiming it belongs to them, but it belongs to
the people of Umuaga. The water is from God. And
whoever says the water has not been there is trying to
pull the wool over our faces. My house is there, and
the water has been there. The king who does not know
Joseph will not know Joseph was buried. I was born
there and my father’s house is still there now. To, me it
is the Fulani herdsmen that are responsible for this
misinformation. Throughout the period I stayed in the
farmland, we have never heard about the story of
healing power being ascribed to the water. It is a
concoction of the Fulani herdsmen. I know that the
revelation of God can come through any body but my
advice to them is that whatever they are saying, should
be the whole truth and nothing but the truth.”

As we shall see later on, Pharaoh regarded
himself as a deity and responded with
slanders and threats to Prophet Musa's
(as) calls for him to believe in Allah. This
arrogant attitude lasted until he was faced
with the threat of death through drowning.
The Qur'an relates that Pharaoh
immediately turned to belief when faced
with Allah's punishment:
We brought the tribe of Israel across the sea,
and Pharaoh and his troops pursued them out
of tyranny and enmity. Then, when he was on
the point of drowning, he [Pharaoh] said: "I
believe that there is no god but Him in Whom
the tribe of Israel believes. I am one of the
Muslims." (10:90)
However, this last-minute conversion was
not accepted, for it was not sincere.
According to the Qur'an, Allah exclaimed:
"What, now! When previously you rebelled and
were one of the corrupters? Today we will
preserve your body so you can be a Sign for
people who come after you. Surely many
people are heedless of Our Signs." (10:91-92)
The information that Pharaoh's corpse
would serve as a sign for later generations
may be regarded as an indication that his
body would not decay. On display in the
Royal Mummies Chamber of the Egyptian
Museum in Cairo is a mummified body
believed to be that of this tyrant. In all
likelihood, Pharaoh's body floated to shore
after being drowned, was found and
mummified by the Egyptians, and then
carried to a previously prepared burial
chamber.

Samunique: Stop deceiving ur self, the fact that some of this stories (histories) had already existed b4 ur Prophet meant they were no longer revelations but copy writes.

For instance d stories of yusuf ( Joseph) Ayuba ( job) Yahayah (John the baptist) etc had already been there in d Bible, though some of this stories are told disjointedly in the Quran u need to reffer to the Bible to undrstand them. 80% of the guranic stories are from the bible, so i can u call what had already been known for centuries revelations?
Is just like somebody says he has a revelation that nigeria will qualify for th world cup when we av already qualified, is that to be called a revelation? Is that not laughable??
Pls the fact that some of these so call quranic revelations had existed mean they are not revelations. Bcs revelation/prophecy foretells d future, and tell d people what they rever knw, remember there were so many Jews and Christians in Arabia in the days of Muhammad, he was even sheltered by christians during the hijra (flight) and he must have learnt alot from christians& jewish community.
So it very clear that some parts of quran were copied frm the bible not revelations frm ur Allah.

TELL ME THIS IS A LIE
Another comparison will again demonstrate that the
Qur'an was not copied from the Bible. In the Bible
we are told that God drowned the Pharaoh and his army
when they pursued Moses, on whom be peace, and
his people (see Exodus 14:28). The clear indication in
that description is that the body of the Pharaoh perished
in the sea. However, the Qur'an dared to differ and
prove true. In the Qur'an we find that God promised to
preserve the body of the Pharaoh as a sign for later
generations (see Qur'an 10:90-92).
True to the Qur'anic promise, the mummified body
of the Pharaoh was discovered by Loret in 1898 at
Thebes in the Kings' Valley (see The Bible, the Qur'an and
Science by Dr. Maurice Bucaille, p.238). From there
it was transported to Cairo. Elliot Smith removed its
wrappings on July 8, 1907 and gave a detailed
description in his book entitled the Royal Mummies
(1912). From which source did the author of the Qur'an
derivethis information? How did the author of the Qur'an
know that the Pharaoh's body was preserved
whereasthe knowledge that the ancient Egyptians mummifiedtheir dead was not discovered until recently? Andhow could the author of the Qur'an predict that the body of the Pharaoh will be discovered later, unless the
author was God Himself?

Mintayo: wow,d spirit of LIES in islam has now enteredd you;Jesus is a perfect example of a Saviour whether u want it or not;u cn compare Him with mohammed;u cnt even compare Paul's life to that of mohammed!

No. This is not true. All evidence show that the Qur'an
could not have been copied from the Bible.

Take for example the story of the flood that occurred in
the days of the prophet Noah, on whom be peace. This
event is narrated in both the Bible and the Qur'an. A
careful examination of the two versions will show that
the Qur'anic version could have come from no other
source but God alone. One important difference
between the two accounts is that whereas the Bible
describes the flood as a worldwide flood (see Genesis
ch. 7) the Qur'an mentions it as a local flood affecting
the people of Noah (see Qur'an 7:59-64). Today it is
acknowledged that no record exists of a worldwide
flood occurring at the time specified in the Bible. How
did the author of the Qur'an avoid this mistake unless
the author was God Himself?
The closest thing in history to a flood like the one
described in the Bible and the Qur'an, is a discovery
made by Archaeologist Sir Charles Leonard Wooley. In
1929 he discovered remains from a flood which
occurred around 4000 B.C. His findings are described
in the book entitled The Bible as History by Werner
Keller. Keller tells us:

The incredible discovery at Ur made headline news in
the United States and in Britain (The Bible as History,
2nd Revised Edition, Bantam Books, 1980, p. 27).
But was this a worldwide flood? After describing the
extent of the flood, Keller explains:

Looking at the map we should call it today 'a local
occurrence' (p.28).
"In other words," writes Keller, that flood was
"obviously not of sufficient magnitude for the Biblical
Flood" (p.29). Furthermore, he says: "A flood of the
unimaginable extent described in the Bible still remains
'archaeologically not demonstrated"' (pp.29-3O).

DO U KNOW WHAT IS ATTAHIYAT?


Attahiyat is a very important 'Dua' we repeat in our daily
prayers. When I learnt the importance of this, it melted my heart.
Attahiyat is actually a part of the conversation between
Our Creator Allah SWT, and our beloved Prophet
Muhammad SAW during his journey of Al Isra Wal
Miraj. ...
When Prophet Muhammad SAW met Allah SWT, he didn't say 'Assalam aleikum'.
What is someone going to say when he meets Allah SWT?
We can't wish HIM peace because ALL sources of peace
are through HIM.
So Prophet Muhammad SAW said:
"Attahiyyaatu Lillahi Was Salawatu Wattayyibatu" (Alknl
compliments, all prayer and worship are for Allah)
Allah SWT replied:
"Assalamu Alaika Ayyuhannabiyyu 'Warahmatullahi
Wabarka'tuhu" (Peace be upon you, Oh Prophet and
Allah's Mercy and Blessings).
To this, Prophet Muhammad SAW replied: "Assalamu
Alaina Wa'ala'Ibadillahis Saa'liheen" (Peace be on us and
on all good slaves of Allah)
Note* Prophet Muhammad SAW included "us" in his
reply... (and on all good slaves of Allah)
And listening to this conversation between Allah SWT and His Messenger SAW, the Angels said:
"Ash'had'u'un La ilahaillallahu Wa Ash'hadu Anna
Muhammadun Abd'uhu Wa Rasooluh"
(I bear witness that no one is worthy of worship except
Allah And I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger).
SubhanAllah!!!!!
I now understand the importance of this conversation in
our daily prayers and how the Salat was prescribed to us
-------------------------------------
*It is said that when the angel of death is taking the rooh
(soul) out of the body whom passes away.... it is a painful
experience. They say that when the dead awake on
Qayaamat, the effect of the rooh being taken out will still be there. Therefore, ALLAH has told us to recite the
Ayatul-Kursi after every Fardh salaat and it is stated that
whoever recites this, their rooh will be taken out as you
would take out a strand of hair from a pile of flour. How
light would that feel, Masha Allah!May Allah save us from any sort of pain and may he let us die with Imaan in our hearts and save us from the adhaab. Aameen.There is no word as beautiful as Allah.No example as beautiful as Rasulallah(SAW). No lesson as beautiful as Islam. No song as melodious as Adhaan.No charity as meaningful as Zakat. No encyclopedia as perfect as Al-Quran.No prayer as perfect as Salaat (Namaz).No diet as perfect as fasting.No journey as perfect as Hajj.Let's realize that Islam is forever beautiful and perfect, please forward this message to get the thawaab of passing on knowledge. This is most common among us, most of us talk during Adhaan...

Read this..
The Holy Prophet(SAW) said, Stop doing everything
during the Adhaan, even reading the Quran, the person
who talks during the Adhaan will not be able to say the
Kalimah-e-Shahadat on his/her death bed.... Please pass
this message to Muslims...READ THIS DU'A FOR a BETTER
LIFE Allahumma- inni-ala- dhikrika-wa Shukrika-wa-husni-

Maiduguri— SOME survivors and residents of
Maiduguri, Borno State capital, yesterday, recounted
their experience and narrow escape from death, when
about 300 Boko Haram insurgents armed with
sophisticated weapons invaded the state capital
targeting military formations and police stations,
Monday.

Narrating his ordeal, Mallam Yakubu Gashua, who
resides few metres away from the destroyed 79
Composite Group, Nigerian Air force Base, NAF, said: “I
thought my days on earth was over on that day.

“My wife and I were in bed and all of a sudden, I
started hearing heavy sounds of gunshots, as if it was in
my compound. We immediately woke up and started
reciting some protective verses in the Quran.

“The gunshots became more intense with ceaseless
explosions all over the place.

“At a point I told my wife and my uncle, who came from
Gashua for a visit, that our days have ended.

*Wreckage of truck burnt in front of the Gomari Police
Divisional Office which was completely razed
“I said, who is going to take care of my two little
children who are still writing their exams in a boarding
school in Damaturu, the Yobe state capital? But thank
Allah for sparing all of us.”

A neighbour of the two slain brothers that lived
opposite the NAF main gate, which was the first port of
call of the terrorists, said that the attackers, who
arrived the base around 4am, called for Subhi prayers
in a nearby mosque before they started chanting Allahu
Akbar (God is Great).

“The terrorists entered the compound and saw a Toyota
hilux loaded with bags of beans, and they asked my
deceased neighbour to provide the keys of the loaded
vehicle to them.

“When he said the keys were with the driver somewhere
else, they immediately opened fire on him. His brother
was ambushed at his patent medicine store around 7am
a few metres away from the NAF main gate and was
killed.”

Another resident close to the NAF base said: “When I
heard a strange voice close to our mosque, I asked
myself who are these people calling for Subhi prayers?
“I peeped outside just to see what was happening, and
when I discovered that the voice is a strange one, I
quickly went back home.

“Later, we went to the mosque and performed our
prayers with my deceased neighbours who were killed
after the prayers.”

‘We hid in a septic tank’
Narrating how his two neighbours were killed in their
house, he said: “We didn’t know that the terrorists were
the ones calling for the Subhi prayers.

“We performed our pre-dawn prayers successfully and
as we were about to enter our house, we started
hearing the sounds of gunfire, explosives and bombs
inside the NAF premises.

“The sound of the explosives was even shaking our
houses, which now have cracks after the multiple
explosions inside the NAF Base.

“In fact, I had to quickly hide myself with my wife and
two of my little children inside an abandoned soak-away
toilet in the compound for over two hours.”

Mallam Abba Usman, who resides in Mwaramti village,
opposite the 33 Artillery Regiments, which was not left
out of the devastating attacks, said: “The terrorists were
very active and brave, as they stopped and picked dead
bodies of their members.”

The attacks took Maiduguri residents by surprise. The
area, which is the epicentre of Boko Haram insurgency
had in the past six months witnessed relative peace
following the emergence of vigilante youths, popularly
addressed as Civilian JTF, as well as the successful
destruction of their operational base in Bullabulin
Nganaram, a suburb of Maiduguri.

Intelligence report ignored

Although, unconfirmed reports said there was an
intelligent report made available to the security
operatives in the state that Book Haram terrorists were
advancing towards Maiduguri city from the Sambisa
Game Reserve Forests and that if it is true, the attacks
will be deadly, the security agencies allegedly ignored it.
The attacks were said to have been coordinated and led
by two women commanders, leading to the death of
several people including the terrorists and security
agents.

Nigerian Air Force Base offices, staff quarters, club
house and five aircraft were completely burnt down.
Residents said what happened in Maiduguri, a city
which had witnessed relative peace for the past six
months calls for serious concern of government and the
people of Borno State.

During the attacks, residential buildings such as semi-
detached bedroom flats and offices with staff quarters
newly built by the Borno State Government at the 33
Artillery Regiment base were completely razed by the
terrorists.

The area accommodates hundreds of JTF operatives and
the Divisional Police Station in Gomari Airport Ward of
the metropolis and 50 military vehicles .

Fighter jet intervenes
Vanguard gathered that but for the intervention of the
jet fighter from Yola, Adamawa State capital, the
casualty figures at the NAF base would have been
higher.

The jet assisted in dislodging the terrorists, who fled
towards Beneshiekh-Damaturu Federal Highway.
Spokesman of the 7 Division, Colonel Mohammed Dole
confirmed the multiple attacks and killings by the
terrorists.

In a press statement, Dole said: “In the early hours of
Monday December 2, Boko Haram terrorists attempted
to gain access to military locations in Maiduguri
metropolis.

“However, troops of the 7 Division, Nigerian Army, have
successfully repelled the insurgents and afflicted serious
casualties on them.

“The situation around Jimtilo and Maiduguri
International Airport General areas are now calm and
under control. Our troops supported by Nigerian Air
force aircrafts are presently pursuing the terrorists
towards the Maiduguri-Beneshiekh- Damaturu road.

“Members of the general public are requested to remain
calm and comply with the 24 hours curfew imposed by
the Borno State Government. The curfew will be
reviewed periodically as the situation improves.”

In the interview with journalists at the Government
House, Colonel Dole, who did not give further details on
the number of casualties from the side of the military or
the terrorists, insisted that military troops were able to
inflict serious casualties on the terrorists.

Sources at the University of Maiduguri Teaching
Hospital said, they saw several dead bodies in military
and police uniforms being conveyed to the mortuary in
the morning of the day of the attacks, but could not
know whether they were real security agents, as the
terrorists also used military and police uniforms during
attacks.

APC reacts

Meanwhile, All Progressives Congress, APC, has
condemned Monday’s deadly attack on military and
other facilities in Maiduguri, saying it was shocked and
saddened by the enormity of the attack and the death
of innocent civilians.

In a statement issued in Abuja, yesterday, by its Interim
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the
party said the attacks on Nigerian Air Force planes and
helicopters at the NAF base in the city was particularly
disturbing, considering the hitherto effective use of
aerial attacks against Boko Haram, which is widely
believed to have carried out the attacks.

It said nothing in the world can justify such deadly
attacks on the military and the collateral deaths and
damages inflicted on civilians.

APC, however, called for a renewed strategy to combat
the sect, which seems to retain the capacity to carry
out such a massive attack in a major city, despite the
successes which the military said it had recorded
against it since the declaration of a state of emergency
in three states last May.

The party said such a strategy must place great
emphasis on the gathering of intelligence, adding that
failure of intelligence, more than anything else, made
Monday’s attack possible.

It called for a probe into how hundreds of attackers
could easily infiltrate military facilities, believed to be
highly secured.

No foreign aid yet— FG

The Minister of Information and Supervising Minister of
Defence, Mr. Labaran Maku, said yesterday that the
Federal Government has not decide on whether to seek
the assistance of foreign combatants in the fight against
terrorism as the Nigeria Armed Forces was capable of
handling insurgency in the country.

Maku, who made government’s position known during a
press briefing on the 2014 Armed Forces Remembrance
Day Celebration, in Abuja, categorically said that the
Federal Government was not deterred by the recent
attack on the Air Force base in Maiduguri by the
insurgent.

He said: “A lot of cooperation has been going on,
especially at the ECOWAS level.

“Defence chiefs have strategised to deal with this
insurgency. We are working with the international
communities.

“The Nigerian Armed Forces are well equipped, trained
and they have professional skills to deal with insurgent.
“Although we need cooperation of other countries, but
to seek foreign combatants to come into our country,
Nigeria has not made that decision.”

The minister also said the recent declaration of Boko
Haram and Ansaru as terrorist groups by the United
States was a further confirmation of what the country
had been battling with.

PeOple of the Book

Until u believe that there is no other god but God, that he has no associate, son, or wife.., then u will be save from helll

This verse is usually understood to mean that
people cannot be compelled to become
Muslims but they can be compelled to stay
Muslims. But the words, “no compulsion in
religion” are very general. They should apply
equally to entering or leaving any religion,
including Islam. One may try to argue against
this general understanding of the verse as
follows:
A person cannot be compelled to enter Islam
but a person who is a Muslim is subject to the
laws of Islam and those laws require death for
leaving Islam.
This argument would have had force only if
we are able to establish that the Qur`an
prescribes the death penalty for apostasy like
it prescribes penalties for theft, zin a` etc. But
in the absence of any such prescription, we
must take the words “no compulsion in
religion” in their general sense and
understand them to be applicable for both
entering and leaving Islam [7 ].

There is no compulsion in religion. Right
has become distinct from wrong. So
whoever rejects evil and puts faith in
God has grasped the most trustworthy
hand-hold that never breaks. And God is
hearing, knowing. (2:256)

In The Name of Allah The Beneficient The Merciful.

HERE: www.islamicperspectives.com/Apostasy1.htm

On that account We ordained for the
Children of Israel that if any one slew a
person - unless it be for murder or for
spreading mischief in the land - it would
be as if he slew the whole humanity: and
if any one saved a life, it would be as if
he saved the whole humanity. Then
although there came to them Our
Messengers with clear (guidance), yet,
even after that, many of them continued
to commit excesses in the land. (5:32)

In the context of an emphasis on preserving
the life of each and every individual the above
verse mentions only two crimes for which a
person can be killed:

1) Murdering another human being;
2) Spreading mischief ( fasa d ) in the land.

Nowhere else the Qur`an mentions any other
crime for which the death penalty is
considered. There are, of course, verses that
mention killing during a war in the way of
God. But that is different from killing as a
penalty for a crime. Moreover, in the
Qur`anic understanding the objective of even
killing in a war is to stop or punish crimes
similar to the two mentioned in the above
verse -- violence and mischief -- when
committed in an organized way by a tribe or
nation ((2:191-193, 2:217, 4:88-91 etc)).
