Mbiriba waterfall is a waterfall in Azagba-Ogwashi, Delta State. The waterfall is beautiful and has a lush environment filled with trees. It is a popular place for people in the town because it is used as a place for washing clothes and bathing. A shrine is also located in front of the waterfall. 

In ancient times, it is said that this waterfall was a place where people come to serve the water deity. Today the waterfall is still used as a place of worship. Many people in the community come here to pray and make sacrifices for the deity. 

A young man who calls himself “Youngest landlord” even claims to be the chief priest of the waterfall deity. According to him, nobody can pray to the deity without consulting him. 

Although the waterfall is used as a place of worship for traditionalists, it is a great place to hang out, enjoy a refreshing bath, and just take some nature photos.

Below is a video of the waterfall and its environment.

The environment around the waterfall is also an interesting thing to focus on. It is filled with lush trees and plants that make the place even more n naturally beautiful. Since the waterfall is downhill, the surrounding hills and the tall trees tower above the waterfall. There is an open space in front of the waterfall which has a roofed area and large trees that provide shade.

Getting To The Waterfall

It is very easy to get to Mbiriba waterfall. From any part of the town, ask for directions to Mbiriba road. You can take a bike there and tell the bike person you are going to Mbiriba stream (because that’s what they call it). If you are going alone, walk to the end of Mbiriba road and then take the road that goes left. This can be confusing for many because two roads go left. The road to Mbiriba stream, however, goes downhill and this is the main differentiating factor. To get into the road, you have to cross over a huge hole in the ground which has been dug by erosion. Once on the other side, proceed downhill until you get to the waterfall.
