Nigeria: A tourism destination full of challenges
Osun was one of the wives of Sango, the god of Thunder and former king of Oyo. She is widely worshipped in Yorubaland, particularly in the countryside through which the river Osun flows. The water of Osun is said to have the power of making barren women fertile. Her most important sanctuaries are in Oshogbo, which is contracted from 'Oso Igbo', or spirit of the forest, centered around a palace shrine where the chief priest performs rites and rituals. Here's what they said last year. TODAY, August 26, 2004, the Osun State government is rolling out the drums. It is to celebrate her sons and daughters who, in their various ways, had built the chips and blocks that constitute the success of the state http://www.nigeriaembassyusa.org/culture1.shtml
