Osa and Olokun are the wives of Oduduwa. During this time only Olokun had money Osa was very poor. Olokun is the first wife of Oduduwa and did not have any children. Because of her childlessness she advised Oduduwa to marry another wife.

This second wife is Osa. imageBoth Osa and Olokun were told to make the sacrifice. Only Osa made the sacrifice. Osa was the only one to have children and Olokun remained childless. image During this festival the king calls all his children to wear Agbon and celebrate. Only Osa had the children and Olokun did not have the children to dance in the festival.

Because Olokun didn’t have children she was sad and went to the sea.

This is why she left Ile-Ife and went to Eko and changed to the ocean. In the end Orunmila made an extraordinarily large sacrifice for her to have children and at last she had children. image The Agbon festival is celebrated every year and this year was enjoyed and attend by the Araba Agbaye, his children, all the Awos, the Emese, Osara people and their children.
