Iya Olumo is in charge of Olumo Rock Shrine where sacrifices are made to appeal to the gods of the rock.

Iya arugbo.
Ancient of days. If not for our lack of proper documentation in this country the stories and interviews she'd have published would be epic.

Make I no lie, I no go like live this long especially in Nigeria.

No Christian pastor or Muslim Imam can ever live this long. More reason why we must return to our traditional ways. Congrats mama. More more years for you.
