Oshogbo Grove was my first attraction. Am so happy that's to HATMAN
and Tourism and Hospitality Initiative Network. Actually The dense
forest of the Osun Sacred Grove, on the outskirts of the city of
Oshogbo, is one of the last remnants of primary high forest in
southern Nigeria. Regarded as the abode of the goddess of fertility
Osun, one of the pantheon of Yoruba gods, the landscape of the grove
and its meandering river is dotted with sanctuaries and shrines,
sculptures and art works in honour of Osun and other deities. The
sacred grove, which is now seen as a symbol of identity for all Yoruba
people, is probably the last in Yoruba culture. It testifies to the
once widespread practice of establishing sacred groves outside all
settlements.
