Susan Wenger A.K.A (Adunni olorisha)
travelwaka:
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 Wender. 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.

Skull mining industry.

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

Those herbs are valuable, whites use some of our herbs. Infact, in Europe, some white prefer herbs most of the time, some don't use the medicines big pharma makes

keep exposing your fetish and deplorable psyche. Don't explore the best your country has to offer.

Have you ever visited a UNESCO World Heritage Site? There is one that wouldn't cost you a fortune undecided

Some herbs are the medicines we actually need, big pharmaceutical industries, don't like it when people rely on effective herbs, big pharma, just wants to make profits. I have started learning the herbs that are good for various aims, so I don't need medicine for strength.

Don't dismiss your African herbs, learn them, grow them and sell them.

Blackman! Must oyinbo do everything for us? Why can't we preserve our heritage? We neglect n even destroy our beautiful environment tourism potentials, then spend $$ to go on tourism abroad.
