This post might be a bit late, but hey, better late than never. Hohoe has been like a home to me, and during my stay at Bishop Herman College, it was the place where I broke some rules with my friends. There is a spot I should have visited but never did, so after five years, I decided to make a homecoming during the New Year holidays and see it. Oh yes, I’m talking about the Wli waterfall.
The Wli Falls is a leisure hot spot located in a green forest, surrounded by mountains in the border town of Wli in the Hohoe municipality. It hosts a waterfall cascading at about 75 meters. Reaching the fall itself is a pilgrimage, a trek several meters through an evergreen forest, crossing eight bridges. One of the things that fascinated me was the fact that the path leading to the fall was along a stream.
Walking through the forest along the long path and listening to the stream babble as it flows creates a serene and therapeutic environment. And if you are the kind of person who pays attention to such details, you will appreciate it.
The fall hasn’t seen much face-lifting. Initially disappointing as a pro-tourism fellow, these sentiments were lost after spending some time there because I realized it offered a raw touch of nature. It is not to say a decent toilet, waste disposal system, and a changing room won’t help.
The fall also hosts a bat sanctuary, and it only takes some noise to get them to fill the sky. That is, if they’re not doing that on their own. When they do, it’s a spectacle.
I couldn’t take a plunge because the harmattan made the water cold. I dipped my foot, and after five minutes, it felt numb. The embarrassing part is that some kiddos were having a good time in it. You can’t blame me. I hate the cold.
This place is known for holiday picnics, college, and corporate fan trips, but I have found the best time to enjoy it is by going solo or in a small group, maybe with a few friends. The lesser the number, the better the experience.

Why would a leader of this nation lack the will to stop what clearly has become an existential threat? Well, the simple answer is greed. They can construct impeccable English and cite several excuses as the hindrance, but the real Teflon is greed.
Our world has come a long way, and we, the people, must learn to change our thinking so we can realize our full potential as a race by coming together and working to fight common hindrances like poverty and disease.
The quality of a nation’s output is greatly determined by the quality of its education.
It must not be lost on anyone that the fight for Africa’s sovereignty won’t be a pretty one. We won’t achieve anything with speeches in front of marble walls in a hall filled with careless people.
The car you drive in Formula One makes a great difference, even though this fact usually has different interpretations depending on the subject.
