"It was a narrow, unassuming pathway cut into the thicket of the forest. From the pathway, one could hear the steady rush of water growing louder as one drew near. A gentle mist hung in the air; a sweet combination of salty rainwater mixed with the smell of fresh wet earth. The pathway, which was less than a quarter of a mile long, soon gave way to a clear opening and there suddenly the waterfall appeared, a breathtaking view, like a huge strike of lightning on a bright summer day", described Nema Obih.[8] As a lifeline to Ideato South communities, Urashi stream serves as an all purpose river for drinking, washing and many other purposes to communities such as Umulewe, Umuchima and Ntueke.[8][9] InfrastructureBy 2009, poor access roads was identified as one of the key constraints militating against optimal performance in informal economic activities amongst rural women of Isiekenesi, Dikenafai, Mgbidi, Awo-omamma, Nkwerre, Izombe, Amiri, Otulu and other communities in Orlu senatorial zone of Imo State.[10]{{rp|91}} Other problems included poor development of electricity, portable water,[11]{{rp|4}} and lack of credit facilities to small markets.[5] Land tenure problems was also identified as one of the greatest factors that hindered development of large-scale farming.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite journal|url=http://www.ajol.info/index.php/ajazeb/article/download/41147/8555|title=Sanitary Quality of Ulasi River, Okija, Anambra State, Nigeria|first=I.J|last=Anazoo|journal=African Journal of Applied Zoology and Environmental Biology|volume=7|ISSN=1119-023X|date=2008|page=1|display-authors=etal|department=Microbiology, Anambra State University of Science and Technology|accessdate=May 19, 2016}} {{Coord|5|46|0|N|7|9|17|E|region:NG_type:city(966001)|display=title}}{{Populated places of Imo State}}{{Imo-geo-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite journal|url=http://idslga-govt.net/about%20us.html?ckattempt=1|title=Ideato South Local Government Area, IDSLGA: About Us|date=2014|accessdate=May 21, 2016|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160617004355/http://idslga-govt.net/about%20us.html?ckattempt=1|archivedate=June 17, 2016|df=}} 3. ^1 {{cite journal|url=http://ideatosouthunion.com/#/history/4545980888|title=IDEATO SOUTH UNION UK: History|accessdate=May 21, 2016}} 4. ^{{cite journal|url=http://theunion.com.ng/back-page/is-imo-a-failing-state/|title=Is Imo A Failing State?|date=July 23, 2015|accessdate=May 21, 2016}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{cite journal|url=http://www.ajol.info/index.php/afrrev/article/view/47562/33939|title=Urashi Waterfall Ecotourism Development and Cultural Challenges in Dikenafai, Ideato South Local Government Area, Nigeria|first=Henry M|last=Ijeoma|journal=African Research Review: An International Multi-Disciplinary Journal, Ethiopia|volume=7|ISSN=1119-023X|date=2008|page=4|display-authors=etal|department=Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, University of Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt, Rivers State |accessdate=May 20, 2016}} 6. ^1 {{cite journal|url=http://tours.logbaby.com/imo/content/attractions.html|title=The source of Urashi River|work=tours.logbaby.com|accessdate=May 20, 2016}} 7. ^1 {{cite journal|url=http://www.imoreporters.com/index.php/source-and-natural-course|title=Urashi River- Its Source and Natural Course|work=www.imoreporters.com|accessdate=May 20, 2016|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160611121039/http://www.imoreporters.com/index.php/source-and-natural-course|archivedate=June 11, 2016|df=}} 8. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite journal|url=http://www.oralhistory-productions.org/articles/MyFathersVillage.pdf|title=My Father's Village – Excerpts from a Memoir in Progress (New York)|author=Nema Obih (E.Obih-Frank)|date=2004|work=www.oralhistory-productions.org|accessdate=May 21, 2016}} 9. ^{{cite journal|url=http://www.channelstv.com/tag/umulewe/|title=NGO Partners With Imo, Sinks Borehole In 3 Communities|work=www.channelstv.com|accessdate=May 21, 2016}} 10. ^{{cite journal|url=http://www.codesria.org/IMG/pdf/06_Emmanuella.pdf?48|title=Africa Development: The Constraints of Rural Women in Informal Economic Activities in Imo State, Nigeria |first=Emmanuella Chinenye|last=Onyenechere|journal=Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa|volume=XXXIV|number=1|ISSN=0850-3907|date=2009|display-authors=etal|department=Africa Development|accessdate=May 24, 2016}} 11. ^{{cite journal|url=http://www.geotropico.org/NS_5_1_Oguzor.pdf|title=A spatial analysis of infrastructures and social services in rural Nigeria: Implications for public policy |first=Nkasiobi Silas Oguzor, PhD|last=Oguzor|journal=GeoTropico|department=Provost, Federal College of Education (Technical),Omoku-Rivers State, Nigeria|volume=5|number=1|ISSN=1692-0791|date=February 28, 2011|accessdate=May 24, 2016}} 2 : Towns in Igboland|Towns in Imo State |
