The History of Oshun
Oshun (also Ọṣun, Ochún, and Oxúm) is the Yoruba orisha associated with love, sexuality, fertility, femininity, water, destiny, divination, purity, and beauty, and the Osun River, and of wealth and prosperity in Voodoo.
She is considered the most popular and venerated of the 401 orishas.
​
In the mythology, Oshun was once the queen consort to King Shango of Oyo, and deified following her death, honored at the Osun-Osogbo Festival, a two-week-long annual festival that usually takes place in August, at the Oá¹£un-Osogbo Sacred Grove in Osogbo.

Tafawa Balewa Square
The Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) is a (35.8-acre) ceremonial ground (originally called "Race Course") in Lagos Island, Lagos.
​
History
Lagos Race Course now TBS, was a sports field that hosted horse racing, but included a section for football and ground to play cricket. The land was provided to colonial authorities by Oba Dosunmu in 1859, who thereafter built up the surrounding areas.
​
In 1960, the course was redeveloped to celebrate Nigeria's independence and the lowering of the union jack.
​
The entrance to the square has gigantic sculptures of four white horses hovering above the gate and seven red eagles, which are symbols from the national emblem signifying Strength and Dignity respectively.
Other monuments in the square include the Remembrance Arcade (with memorials to World War I, World War II and Nigerian civil war victims) and the 26-storey Independence House, built in 1963 which was for a long time, the tallest building in Nigeria.


Badagry Slave Museum
Badagry was one of the routes that benefited from the ongoing slave trade conflict between Portnovo and Dahomey at the end of the eighteenth century. Slaves taken during inter-villages conflict were auctioned off at Badagry. Chief Mobee was one of the African chiefs who participated in the slave trade in 1883.
