Mmiri Obana came to Mgbidi years back through ISU, first stopped at Otulu, from where Otulu people chose the fish 🐟 in the river than the water itself when they went for spiritual consultation because of the mysterious appearance of the river in Otulu land, after choosing the fish, the Mmiri Obana left Otulu and came to settle at Mgbidi, because Obana Ezenwanyi Queen Mother, the great goddess is a jealous water goddess that will not want it's fishes in it's rivers to be killed or eaten because they are her Children and treasures.
The River settled at Umuorji which is the Isi Mmiri Obana Mgbidi by circling itself and flowing at a spot, when Mgbidi people people saw the wonders of a spot flowing River they were scared of such never seen before, so they proceeded to inquire from Chiukwu Okike Abiama for Spiritual consultation (Igba Alfa).
Note: in those days when you see something strange you don't understand or seen before you travel to Aro Chiukwu, Abia state to inquire from Chiukwu as Afa.
Chiukwu Okike Abiama told them that the water is a blessing, Chiukwu asked them fish 🐟 or water which one do they want? They replied Water, so Chiukwu told them not to kill or eat Obana fish, because if they do they will arouse the anger of the water goddess Obana Ezenwanyi because the fish are her inheritance and Children, they agreed and vowed never to kill any fish 🎏🐟 from Obana Waters but to protect it and guard it from intruders
Obana is a very beautiful, tall woman of class, wealth and riches.
Chiukwu told them to go and sacrifice One fair beautiful virgin, one white 🐐 goat, one white Nwa urem (white day old), one white fowl, Kolanut, Nzu na Edo.
That when they get to the cycling water they should gently put the items inside the cycling water that the water will swallow them all, which they came back brought all the items and did exactly what Chiukwu Okike Abiama told them, and the water swallowed all the items, and begin to move forward and spread and have segments like Isi Mmiri, Mmiri onye ocha, Mmiri Nwataoma, Mmiri Ogbaku, Mmiri Uzinaumu, Mmiri Obiejemba etc.
So the Name Mmiri Nwataoma is the memorial of the virgin maiden sacrificed for the installation of Mmiri Obana.
Every Mgbidians knows that our Obana fishes are sacred, and we don't kill or eat it, those who tried it were struck with strange illness that killed them later, before in time of no boreholes when you fetched Obana Mmiri home and discovered you fetched the water 🐟 fish home, your parent will immediately ask you to carefully take it back and put the fish inside the river carefully.
As a child I remember swimming at the river severally, and the lovely sight of spring water, clean water, fishes playing with you, when you entered the river with wound, the fishes will lick the wound and immediately it gets healed.
Like Mmiri Nwataoma has danger 1 to danger 4, ukwu ugwo, Mmiri nwoke, Mmiri nwanyi, and is fun swimming in as it doesn't swallow Nwa Mgbidi, and any girl who didn't observe the ikwe ezi is a taboo for her to dip her descrated foot inside the water.
Mmiri Obana, especially the Nwataoma area has been stalled, still not flowing since some people from Mgbidi tried digging sand from Mmiri Nwataoma side which the goddess has swallowed 2 dredging heavy machine now, and the channelling of erosion to the river by Julius bagger has also polluted the water, that is what is seen in the pictures.
As it is now people from far and near visits the water for spiritual rituals with degrees of testimonies, ranging from wealth, healing, protection, children etc. Especially non Mgbidians, as a visit to the river, I saw people come to perform spiritual works at the flowing side before Mmiri Nwataoma.
The invention of Boreholes has made the water dormant because the water prefers people coming in it, dipping their foot and swimming in it, by so doing it flows, widens and spreads.
Obana is a pretty fair Queen goddess mother, tall with long hairs and carries big snakes round her neck, she is lovely and above all caring to those who knows her worth and approaches her for help.
We can not allow our history, tradition to die we shall preserve it and project it in good light for good things to locate us.
"Obana said to me project me and I will project you my son Ogochukwu"
Note: the video you see are not the before Mmiri Obana but after channelling of the erosion by Julius bagger and the failed dredging of Mmiri Nwataoma.
Mmiri Obana is very pure, sweet water and clean water, Obana, Ogbuide are female while Orasi male and their husband, but Obana is a female the prettiest, with good 💖 heart and caring mother.
It was noted that the first white men who usually bath at Mmiri onye ocha, used microscope to see and sighted Obana.
Mmiri Obana has Nso Mmiri, a day set aside for non visit, non activities in Obana, When Obana Ezenwanyi is allow to rest, with it Children, If you dare swim in the river that day, you are gone.
Obana love quite place, that is why it refused dredging at Mmiri Nwataoma axis, because when you dredge, you kill Obana fish 🐟, you dredge on Nso Mmiri, the noise of the machine, she prefers swimming, visitation by people.
Note: The days are gone where human sacrifices is required, now animal sacrifices is what is invoked, the current story of killings of rams to appease the goddess of third mainland bridge, should get us more informed, Obana does not need more human sacrifice, but animal sacrifices.
Thanks all we are growing togather.
It shall be well with us, we shall never want or be poor in the name of Chiukwu Okike Abiama.
Iseeeeeee...... Iseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....
Iseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....
I remain your very humble Ezike brother
