Oba

In Yoruba mythology, Oba was a river-goddess (Orisha). She was the daughter of Yemaja and one of the wives of Shango. She offered Shango her ear to eat, and he scorned her. Grieving, she became the Oba river which intersects with the Osun river (Osun was another wife of Shango) at turbulent rapids, a symbol of the rivalry between the two wives.Extra information: In Yoruban language, it is often mistaken that Olorun and Oduduwa and Oba are just one of many deities. The truth is, Olorun is the translation for God, Oduduwa is the translation for Jesus Christ, and Oba is a king selected by Olorun in order to create an absolute monarchy
