Deities in Ile-Ife are like other messengers of the Supreme Being who were sent to bless mankindand as such should not be portrayed in bad light, Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has said.

Osara popularly referred to as the spirit and the source of the lagoon is one of the deities.

Osara is regarded as the goddess and the source of the lagoon.

Yoruba history has it that, Osara, just like Olokun, was a queen of Oduduwa, the progenitor of the Yoruba race.

She was said to be a lover of children and very accommodating to everyone, hence she was very popular and had a lot of followers and devotees.

Her accommodating nature also explains why all sorts of objects and dirts find their way to the lagoon.

As the custodian of the divine spirits in the land, the Ooni of ife is a major player in the performance of sacrifice to the spirit of Osara, the goddess of the lagoon.

Accompanied by his queen and Osara chief priest, Ooni offers the sacrifice to the spirit of the lagoon deity.

He emerges from the shrine with three doves and lagoon water to bless the people and pray for Ile Ife and Yoruba land.

Osara and Olokun were rival queens of Oduduwa and their rivalry exists till today. This explains why the ocean and the lagoon never mix.

Ooni Ogunwusi insists that Ife deities are like other messengers of the Supreme Being who were sent to bless mankind and as such should not be portrayed in bad light.

Since he ascended the throne of his forefathers, Ooni Ogunwusi has left no one in doubt about his commitment to the promotion of unity, culture, tradition and religion of the Yoruba race.
