Erin-Ijesha Waterfalls
Erin-Ijesha Waterfalls (also known as Olumirin waterfalls) is a waterfall site in Erin-odo, Osun State, Nigeria. It is a tourist attraction located in the Oriade local government area. According to The Nation, the waterfall was discovered by hunters in 1140 AD. However, local tradition has it that the waterfall was discovered by a woman called Akinla, founder of Erin-Ijesa town and a granddaughter of Oduduwa, during the migration of Ife people to Erin-Ijesa. Akinla then named it Olumirin, an elision of oluwa mirin which in Yoruba means "another god".
