The Annual Osun Osogbo Festival 2022 by Sugartainment: 6:39am On Aug 13, 2022
Every August, thousands of people from around the world throng to Osun State, Nigeria, to attend and participate in the famous, two-week long Osun-Osogbo Festival.

It is held at the illustrious and sacred Osun Grove, which was named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005. Although a sizable number of the participants are Osun indigenes, the festival has, over the years, morphed into an event that attracts the attention of tourists and visitors from other parts of the world.

According to legend, the festival was borne out of the yearly sacrifice done to celebrate the river goddess, who serves as the protector of the the clan.

According to History and Tradition,
about seven centuries ago, when the current Osogbo community was founded. The river goddess assured the people of her protection and promised to bless their women with fruitfulness of they would offer a sacrifice to her annually. The contract was sealed and the sacrifices and ceremonies became a thing - or so the legend goes.

Beautiful.
Yorubas are the best in terms of everything in Nigeria; even in terms of witchcraft grin.
Their girls are something else; big ass and succulent boobs.
Fear those Taiye and Kehinde; what they do sexually no be here.
If you want to enjoy life, Fvck Yoruba young girls of 19 or 20. You pen!s will forever get joy.
