Have you ever visited Nigeria? Do you know anything about the customs and traditions of some part of Nigeria. Well I am a Nigerian, I am here to tell you little about Nigerian culture, South-Eastern part of the country to be precise.
Culture they say is the people's way of life, this includes their beliefs and traditions. A certain Community from the Ezeagu Local Government of Enugu State has a belief about one particular stream.
This is Ngene stream from Umana Ndiagu community, in Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State, South Eastern Part of Nigeria
The stream is well known for its potency and benevolent. History has it that it supplied sea animals to the community during the Nigerian civil war of July 1967 to January 1970 and therapeutic too.
It also protected the villagers against enemies, the stream gets bigger and deeper at the sight of enemies which made it hard for enemies to cross.
People worshipped the stream then, they believe it has unique powers and should be adored.Well, everything here is based on Oral History from the great Ozor Okongwu of the said village, not documented so not proven.
Till date people still value the Ngene stream, students from other states still visit the mighty Ngene Stream. Although the stream is not too deep or wide but it is believed to be a blessing from the gods, according to my informant.
If you have never visited Nigeria, this is your opportunity to know a little about some part of the country.
The picture was taken by a friend during our excursion to the stream.
