I still don't understand why this man no longer popular. it shows that Ijebu ode betrayed leguru. I think Ijebu ode people most honor this honest man. LEGURU The month of August is usually devoted to the worship of Leguru (although this is no longer popular) in remembrance of the bravery of the Onisemu Leguru. He was said to have volunteered to sacrifice himself to save Ijebu Ode from being taken over by the lagoon which overflowed some areas of the township. Unconfirmed reports have it that the town was then faced with the threat of the Lagoon taking over the whole place, and as was predicted, the town would only become a port (not as currently habitable). The man, it was said, was a foremost priest who decided to brave the sacrifice when Ifa talked about the grave implication of retaining the water in the town. Reports have it that Leguru himself performed the divination and was then not prepared to change or twist the facts as revealed by Ifa that he (Leguru) was the one that could save the town by sacrificing himself. People still claim to hear him perform divination (under water) around a portion of the Lagoon at Epe. |
