A very wonderful place indeed with beautiful mountains and valleys which you'll pass through before getting to the waterfall. I've been there like 6 times.....so sad people are no longer allowed to visit there
And why is that...?

Pls don't waste your time. The place has been closed by the monks who alleged that tourists commit all sorts of sexual immortality when they visit. The waterfalls and caves are situated inside monastery. I

The picture of the cave is beautiful,yet there is something mysterious about it,almost like i'm seeing in it physically. I don't want to take a second look.
It has huge tourism potentials though!

OK. So does it mean that it is permanently closed to tourists now? 'cos I plan to visit very soon. Hopefully before the year runs out.

nice imagination. Haven't you seen that 2000s Nollywood flick titled 40 Days and 40 Nights, starring Bob-Manuel Udogwu? He was healed of an infirmity at this location.
Well, this was when Nollywood was purposeful!
No have not seen the movie. if the cave walkway can be stretched & inn's can be created fr relaxation purposes, then it ll be the another reason to buy a plane ticket to enugun

You watch too many action films, what would make any one throw dynamite there? Don't you know dynamite is expensive and rare to find? Come back to reality

Who stopped people from visiting there?

Is this place a tourist centre or a spiritual centre/shrine?

It appears everyone that claimed here to have been there went for something spiritual

Its in a monastery,the monks are in charge so they are the ones who stopped the visits
I'm not sure why they stopped it but I think it's because its getting noisy and the monks desire silence all the time

Very beautiful, developed countries generate a large percentage of income into their economy through tourism. I hope Nigeria will dive into it.


Is Kenya and Tanzania among your definition of developed countries? Yet they rely heavily on tourism, it's got nothing to do with being developed

this is a limestone river gorge and water fall, the whole area is definitely a karst region. excellent tourist resources going to waste, it reminds me of ogbunike cave in neighboring anambra state, a real limestone cave going to waste.
i once took a group of students to visit Ogbunike cave when we attended a national convention in Umunya from Uyo (am from Anambra, never visited Ogbunike tho)
I was shell-shocked at what was going to waste. Nigerians dont even know such places exist!

If you want to go there you must join a Catholic group going there on pilgrimage, the monks have restricted public visits there because of the pervasive acts done by tourists so you must be going there for prayers or meditation and must be part of a group

Why is the government allowing such CONFISCATION of a place that can boost economic prosperity and employment?
