If you are pondering on where to go this festive season or your next holiday, I would recommend you take a visit to admire the beauty of nature. This my second time of visiting this place and to my surprise I had a totally new experience of the place. The water was so white that mere looking at it for long one can assume to be blind for some seconds as it makes you dizzy as you stare at the magnificent falls. The last time I was here was during the dry season and the view was not as beautiful as during the rainy season, it was like rain falling heavily non stop with very smooth and consistent rythm.

The Olumirin waterfall is a seven step waterfall located at Oriade local government in Osun state, Nigeria which is 2km from the main town Erin Ijesha. Interestingly each step of the waterfall has a flowing fountain which to me gives it it's unique nature. Based on some myth by the people of Erin-Ijesa, they believe that there is a big pot located at the utmost top of the cliff where the waterfalls flows from.  Also the falls was said to be discovered by a powerful woman called Akinla a grand - daughter of Oduduwa who founded the Erin-Ijesha town. Legends has it that when the fall was first discovered it had the appearance of a mysterious figure and was believed to be a very tall and huge living spirit whose height reached the heavens and  has several mouths  from which the water gushed out.

The place is not so developed as the entrance looks somehow deserted and before you get to the falls is not Interesting to me at least. And I really think Osun state government is not taking the place that serious as it meant to be a very good tourist centre and source of revenue for the state. The entrance fee was 500naira for adult and 300naira for kids, and things around there are just a little bit above the normal price especially when they know you are a visitor. Ordinary 30naira shower cap those very light one is 100naira and one funny looking bottle water for 100naira too.

Another interesting part is the mountain climbing and a good exercise platform. If you are looking for a good experience of mountaineering then you should not just stop at the 2nd floor as most people that visit do but proceed further to at least the 4th floor. The first time I was here I got to the 7th floor and didn't even get much time to have fun at the falls as we were eager to get to the last floor in time. To get to the last floor takes lot of determination and strength as it's more than an hour journey and the sun on the mountain might be scorching, I remember having to massage my legs for like 3days after. So this 2nd time I just decided to  chill at the water and enjoy it to the maximum, I must say the water was very cool and refreshing and keeps one wondering about the wonders of nature. 

At the 7th floor is a little settlement not even up to a village of mud houses, though they have an electric  pole and they had light when we visited. The place is called Abake and the residents referred it to " Ilu Aba-ke " in youruba which means the village on the  top ". There was a little river where the children washed and some were playing, speaking to some of them they quite understand English as they made us know they go to school down the cliff towards " Effon Alaaye " local government in Ekiti state. Sadly there is basically no infrastructure in this place not even a little clinic. They major in farming and thereafter go to nearby villages to sell their produce.

Also to spice up your fun there is an old man who plays the talking drum, I recognized him from the last time I was here about 2years ago. He plays the instrument with so much enthusiasm and at the end you will just have to tip him generously after he must have whine you to the last (lol).

Conclusively I had a great time and would visit again if I have the chance.

Am curious @Bbsharon how you managed to get past 3rd level because i know people (especially girls) ain't allowed access to the 4th level and so on cos tis quite dangerous.
Nice tale about your reaching the 7th(top) level. You ought to have known that lots of people have been to the waterfall and can attest to the fact that NOBODY has been able to access the 7th level after the incident about the white man falling during the climb

An interesting place. I will like to pay a visit when I am over there. There are not many nature reserves in Nigeria. All the trees have been cut down for fear of witches and meagre timber sales. Sacred grounds destroyed for fear of demons and fear of provoking white man's god.

that place is cool. I was there when I was serving in Ekiti state in 2013. could only climb to level 5 of the waterfall. the hill to negotiate to see the 3rd waterfall is very steep. Tourism is the REAL BAE

The immediate female regent of the town where the olumirin water falls is situated died two days ago and was buried yesterday. It is so painful because she was a relative and this is the time she ought to be enjoying her labour. She ll be missed. Adieu.

Nice try for trying to discredit my opinion in a subtle way too. I was there Jan 2014 and i repeat again we got to the 7th floor. And even this last time some guys tried to get to the 4th floor but got back later as it was getting late. There is no restriction whatsoever as there is no guide accompanying any one.

Please if you have the opportunity to reach anyone in Oau 300 level or 400 level chemistry student they had tell you the tale of how we all got there the 7th floor exactly and the village am talking about.

I wonder why I would just sit down and frame those stories undecided

The indigenes do climb it to the other side where Ekiti is and they have been to the seventh floor countless times. There are farmers cultivating on the seventh floor n it actually looks like a plain. I know this cos my grandma, mom and other relatives on my maternal side have climbed it. My grandma told me she used to climb it with wares on her head to Ekiti in those days. I ve relatives there, I go for holidays there but ve been lazy to climb.
