There have been wild rumours of a mystical/divine healing water that appears once every 20 or 30 years in Nigeria, where people flock there to swim to have their healing.

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’s 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.

According to an elderly man in the community, the water appears every 20 or 30 years and they first saw it in 1971.

He also confirmed that various diseases and ailments have been cured at the pool.
