someone who needed their help granting the person whatsoever he or she desire ranging from
wealth, Fruit of the womb,cleansing from a particular sickness that seem incurable to the
traditionalist and they can be seen in broad daylight warming their body at the River bank.some
cases of people who suddenly develop one problem or the other After encountering them at the
River with an evil intentions were also oriented as they partake in cleansing the community from
evil.this continue for so many years until a son of ezenite who travel out of the community for a
long period of time returned to the community with some White men and they desecrated the
water.he died at the back along with the foreigners with him but the queen of the water punished
the whole community immensely pouring her wrath on them in full .there was no cry of baby in the
