Ok

Beautiful place

It is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is one of the two world Heritage sites in Nigeria.

This place was renovated and remodelled by an Austrian Artist called Susan Wenger. She made most of the artworks here which some are as old as 60 years. She fell in love with this place after she visited the place with her husband as a tourist. When it was time for them to go back, she decided to stay, she embraced the Yoruba Traditional religion and ever since she became one of the forest custodians.

She lived all her life in Osogbo and she died in 2009 at the age of 93.

She started a movement to restore the dignity of the forest by preventing encroachment and poaching at this sacred grove.

There is a suspended bridge here built by the same man that amalgamated the Northern and Southern protectorate Lord Lugard. That Bridge has survived over a hundred years. Its a colonial bridge.

A lovely an serene cultural heritage.

The bridge looks like something from a foreign highschool movie.

Perfect description of Ritualists Den

Skull mining industry.

Looks scary and like a place thousands of ritual killings were made and offered to Oduduwa for protection and money

My 2 cents

It is Susan Wenger not Wender

Feminist headquarters. SW

Sparogatively, this Osun Osogbo sacred groove is a place I wouldn't want to be in at night!

...It's not because of fear. Its only because of what I call Incase of Incassity!
