Nigerian Heritage Tour: Oranmiyan Staff, Olumirin Waterfall & Moremi Staff

By Dami — Your Trusted Travel & Business Consultant

In 2017 and 2018, I set out to reconnect with the living stories of my people — exploring Nigeria’s timeless Yoruba treasures. As a seasoned travel and business consultant, I believe our roots and our stories are the bedrock of sustainable tourism and cultural pride.

🗿 Oranmiyan Staff — A Spear Through Time

In April 2017, I stood before the majestic Oranmiyan Staff — a 5-meter granite monolith, said to be the spear of Oranmiyan, the legendary warrior and king whose lineage runs deep through Yoruba royalty. Being in its shadow reminded me that our courage and heritage stand taller than time itself.

💦 Olumirin Waterfall (Erin Ijesha) — Seven Steps of Wonder

Later that same April, I journeyed to the mystical Olumirin Waterfall, known locally as Erin Ijesha. This seven-level waterfall, discovered centuries ago by a hunter from Ile-Ife, is nature’s reminder that true beauty unfolds in steps — each tier a baptism of refreshing mist and timeless folklore.

🏹 Moremi Staff — Echoes of a Queen’s Sacrifice

My exploration would not be complete without paying homage to Queen Moremi Ajasoro. Her bravery saved the Ife people from invaders, and her legacy lives on through the Moremi Staff. Standing before it, I felt the echo of her selfless spirit — a story every Nigerian child should grow up knowing.

🌍 Why These Stories Matter

These journeys are more than memories; they are proof that our culture is alive and powerful. As a travel and business consultant, I champion authentic African experiences that fuel pride, entrepreneurship, and heritage preservation.
