When Sango reigned. It rained burning cowries like tear drops from the sky for six days and six night. He rested on the seventh day (Ojo Isimi) Sunday. Ojo Aje (Monday) you are at the market wielding a double edge axe to secure the safety of Aje (youruba god of wealth and commerce). Sango, husband to three goddesses.
Oya (Yoruba goddess of storm and wind) spins like a tornado followed by violent wind as she danced and gyrated to the percussion of gangan (Yoruba drum) with unimaginable ‘Bata’ steps (Yoruba traditional dance). Sango ni Oko (Husband) of OBA, OSUN and OYA!
I heard that you have fire in your eyes. If you ever visit me. I shall send my eyes on an errand for your stay to be pleased. I would fetch from the living water of Osun, your second wife for you to have a bath. And quench your burning thirst.
Your third wife Oya would not be far away to whistle into your ears like a tornado in your sleep. Oba! Your first wife would be cooking your delicacy, with a “Ram” not with her ears. “Kawo Kabiyesi!,” Sango (Yoruba god of lightening and thunder).
