Sango
Sango was the 4th king that ruled as the Alafin of Oyo and who was deified by his friends after his controversial death. According to Yoruba legend, Sango was born at a time when the Yoruba people were participating in activities that were unpleasing to the gods.
OGUN
He is the god of war and metals. In his earthly life Ogun is said to be the first king of Ife. When some of his subjects failed to show respect, Ogun killed them and ultimately himself with his own sword. He disappeared into the earth at a place called Ire-Ekiti, with the promise to help those who call on his name.

Esu
Esu is the messenger of the oracle, taking sacrifices to him and bringing his commands to men, acting under his orders and punishing the wicked for him. In a battle with Death he lost his club, but Orunmila recovered it for him and that created a pact between these two divinities. Orunmila here is a brother to oduduwa. It's never possible that oduduwa will ever worshíp his brother, to then he's a mere messanger.
Osun
Osun was one of the wives of Sango, the Alaafin of Oyo, who later hanged himself and became a divinity through his followers' worship. During the 18th and 19th century assaults by Fulani/Nupe slave raiders, the Osun River was a source of defence and salvation for the Yoruba people in that region.

These are the people worshipped in Yoruba land, who themselves are kings and queens who came faar later After the death of ODUDUWA, the founder of Yoruba land. Oduduwa is our FOREFATHER and he never worshipped idol. Idolatry is Originally not a Yoruba Tradition

We heard one dropped from the skies and landed on his emmm....can't really recall now..well,this be very interesting to know

People and culture .. tradition and believe ..

Amazing post op .

Olorun Olodumare is God.
Thst is what Yorubas worship.
You can never see any Yoruba telling you that Ogun is God.

All these divinities you listed are Orisha (Roughly Saints or should I say Prophets?) while Imalẹ are roughly like Angels .
They are not God.

falling from the sky is a widespread phenomenon.
In the Bible, Diana of the Ephesians fell from the sky.
I think Africans are the aliens
We all came from the stars because we fell from Grace,we have to work our way back,I believe that's where the notion of going to heaven came from.

Esu was not human

He was there since the beginning

He is not Satan too

I’m not sure Ifa says you should worship any god

It says everyone should discover their paths in life.
Ifa even says you should look inward rather than worship any other

But nigerian Muslims believe in bowing their head to an Arab

Christians worship a Jew

Some of you people need to be sent to the past to experience how Africans were enslaved and converted to these religions

Can you explain where Yoruba culture came from if our ancestors never worship these deities?

They are important people from those communities. And worshipped by their people.

Sango, for example is from ekiti and was the 6th Alaafin of Oyo. Who's like the president of Yoruba. To have such an important person from their place made the ekiti to worship him. It's not an entire Yoruba thing.

Our forefather, ODUDUWA never met These people. He's dead before they're even born. So, he never worshipped any IDOL.

I like when people think out of the norm. Humans should've the hearts to challenge norms.
