The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III, has declared Sango as the best king ever in Oyo.

Oba Adeyemi spoke on Saturday while addressing visitors, tourists, and worshippers at the Grand Finale of the 2021 World Sango Festival in Oyo.

The first class monarch said preservation of culture and tradition of people had become necessary for the sake of the coming generations.

Alaafin said Sango, during his reign as Alaafin, was powerful and had exceptional attributes that made him different from those that ruled before and after him. Daily Prayers

He added that though Sango reigned for seven years, he was an exceptional king before transforming to a deity.

The Alaafin said Sango Festival, one of the recognised festivals globally, promotes Yoruba culture and heritage.

He appealed to sons and daughters of the kingdom to continue to live peacefully, and urged the Yoruba race to preserve and sustain its culture and tradition.

Funnily enough, the three wives became rivers.

Same with Nimrod of Babel/Babylon. Scriptural Babylon was actually in the region of South Sudan, Northern Ethiopia and extending to Yemen and NOT IRAQ as they lied to us. Many Israelite tribes, especially of the Northern kingdom followed after this Babylon concept of man-worship.

Nimrod was the first Sun-god. He is the one depicted as Santa Claus and his birthday is 25th December. Can you get it now? You see where the concept of replacing the worship of the Most High Creator with the worship of man began?

Most world religions trace their origin to babylon and the pagan worship instituted there. By the way, Nimrod was a black man. And Just like ancient Egyptians, ancient Babylonians were black Africans (Kushites). True biblical Israelites are the negroes (blacks) below the Sahara. The people of the book were black. #AwakeOIsrael

Below are sculptures depicting Israelites in Egyptian captivity -The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, London.

Well, there is a very thin line dividing myth and reality. Just which year Sango reigned and how he became a worshipful deity is uncertain. But around that mythlike issue are vestiges of reality.
Long live Alaafin.

All I know about him though is that he was called the God of thunder. History is exciting.
