Goddess Oba

 



Oba: River goddess in Yoruba.

Oba is a West African goddess who is mostly revered in Nigeria, but also in Santerian and Yoruba New World traditions.

With Oshun and Oya, she forms a trio.

Oba is the force of flowing water, symbolizing the inevitability of time and existence, as well as energy mobility.

She is the obedient woman who, even when it is undeserved, gives respect and devotion to her husband.
