If you must worship your gods in a River , kindly go and create a pond in your compound, they are all Water.- Gov Charles Chukwuma Soludo
On the issue of the Avalanche of Ndi Eze nwanyi in Anambra state. Gov Soludo has this to say ;
If a lady tries out so many things in life and they don’t work out, She goes back to the village and becomes Ezenwanyi.
And why we banned them from going to the water among other things is because that river is owned by the community and everybody. If you must worship your gods in a River , kindly go and create a pond in your compound, they are all Water.
You can’t go to a river that belongs to all of us, make all manner of sacrifices and concoctions, Dump them inside the River, someone else at another side of the river (that is not aware of the substances you have dumped inside the river) will fetch from that same river and Drink.
