What mining has done to the Osun river. There was a circular that devotees shouldn’t drink the water from the Osun river because they suspected it had been contaminated but there is problem of fate and faith. How do you tell people not to drink from what they believe in and what they have trusted for over 6centuries.? If you trace the source of the river from Ekiti, it is as clean as the Ikogosi water but the journey through ilesa and to Osogbo is where it can’t be ignored. It has gotten worse between 2020- 2026. This is where both the federal government and the state government decides the choice of climate change and the impact aggressive mining is doing to the faith of the devotees who believe in this sacred place. #SaveOsunRiver #SaveTheGrove #Konibaje

OSUN: I’m purposely making this a video just so the necessary people can see it. The committee in charge of Osun Osogbo Festival have always made the same mistake of leaving trash unattended to. I can bring 30images out from the last 5years and you’d see the same problem, an unhygienic environment and improper waste disposal because there are no visible trash bin anywhere within or people picking up trash on the big day. Isese community, especially with respect to those who make offerings by the riverbank on the big day, you need to do better! During off seasons, tourists are the ones who pay to enter the venue but none of the Isese community, Ìsàlè Osun or residents of Osogbo pay the compulsory entrance fee. Osogbo, you are the first to pick up your pieces before others do. While I do not discredit the efforts made by the people cleaning this place, this video was 24hrs after the Osun Osogbo festival around 7pm and it is still visibly dirty. You all really need to start making provisions for proper waste disposal especially with your brand sponsors and how there should be an arrangement to that. It shouldn’t be about the monies in the banks alone. To the elders in the community, please, teach your people how to be clean as they learn to keep on the legacy. Nobody wants to come to a community that doesn’t have basic proper hygiene. You can all do better. We can all trash waste properly. #Konibaje
