i visited the groove and saw with my own eyes stories read from books and journals and i met those to give brushes to the history been shed for years. I was privileged to witness the cleansing process before worshippers were allowed into the groove, i took pictures too to this effect as well. Nigeria is got an heritage to cling to if properly harnessed.

It was absolute delight to see the wonders of Nike's Art Gallery. She was warm and gave us tons of information on the collections on display empowering several local artists. We were also wowed by her custom made material which she has on display and for sale. We definitely bought a few pieces to be created into magical garments. From the entrance to exit you are immersed in artistic bliss, also if you need a refreshing snack or drink she has a cute little cafe shop you can decompress in. Nike is a wonderful wealth of information and it was a delight an honor to be in her presence she is a legend in the Orisha world and art scene.

Just simply wow! after 4 hours and covering 10.3 km in 35.6 degrees heat at 674 m, we made it up to the seventh level and back down with a 30 -45 minute break at the level 3 waterfall where you can chill. Its totally worth your while by visiting the Olumirin waterfall in Erin Ijesha you literally end up visiting two of the south west states in Nigeria. Osun and Ekiti. The lower levels are in Osun state whilst the seventh level located in the Abake village is in Ekiti. We had an amazing tour guide Sunday and he did a great job taking us up and providing background information. There is main path that levels to the seventh level to see 4, 5 and 6 you have to get off that pathway So what should you bring some good vibes, water, a sunhat, bathingsuit or whatever swim attire you prefer, sunscreen and please use the trash can if you do bring food. This place is totally worth several visits
