ASENEMA
WATERFALLS
=======
Asenema
Waterfalls
is
a
stunning
sight
to
behold.
It
measures
about
25
meters
high.
It
is
a
serene
place
to
clear
your
head,
admire
nature's
beauty
and
appreciate
the
creation
of
God.
=======
BRIEF
HISTORY:
Founded
many
years
ago
by
hunters
and
farmers,
who
discovered
the
stream
and
used
it
as
a
source
of
water
supply
during
work.
It
was
in
the
early
2000s
that
the
waterfall
was
discovered.
Not
until
2018,it
was
not
commercialised
due
to
the
believe
of
the
people.
Females
are
not
allowed
there
in
the
menses
because
it
is
believed
to
be
dirty
to
the
Spirit
of
the
water.
Nonetheless,
before
commercialising
it,
a
ceremony
was
organised
to
appease
the
Spirit
of
the
water
which
allowed
females
to
visit
and
enter
the
water
irrespective
of
the
time
of
the
month
for
them.
Aweh
is
the
name
of
the
water,
from
Adukrom
and
the
source
of
water
is
from
the
rocks.
It
is
joined
by
a
stream
at
a
point.
The
water
is
said
to
be
a
male
and
a
female
with
the
female
dominating,
it
is
mixed
in
a
pond
from
then
source
but
when
pouring
then
the
split
with
the
male
being
small
and
the
female
being
the
big
one.
