AFRICA AND ITS HISTORICAL WOMEN(LEGEND)

             INTRODUCTION

The noun "legend" in Africa culture posits so many in-depth images. On a first note, a legend should possess the essence of value. A consent which is more look up. This particular mode of association bring him/her as the opium of respect. Secondly, a legend should be accountable for a lengthen age. She/he must have been on her world to the fullest of time. A legend accomplishments expands more than the early exist of flimsy lies. She is the entirety of the contents "grayness".

         AFRICA ON ITS WORLD

           Africa as a continent in the world's sphere has its own value of explaining the word "woman". It is believed that a woman wether illiterate or literate has nothing of a value to offer to the evolution of the world.... this concept which was later changed by some gods among women  elite in the society, took  years to perfect this change. The African society had a belief,culture, heritage which is unknowingly impacted into the female child. She suddenly even without been taught, becomes conscious of the rites and norms that are mostly unspoken but accepted as way of life. The action of those who perfected this changes becomes gods, honored individual or legends in this racism of life. 

THE GENERAL CONCEPT OF THE WORD BY THE OUT-SIDE WORLD
The outside world sees it different. Their own dimensions towards this proposition is quite simple. To the Africans mind, a woman who is seen as a legend should be worshipped but the developed world appraised them as an historical facts, which would be passed on to the other without a blish of any magical power or the belief that they would fight for us on our behalf. The age is not taken into cognizant. Legend on the out -side world are theories that should possessed almost all perfect dignity of intelligence and charisma of oratory.

NIGERIA( A WESTERN PART OF AFRICAN)

     My country Nigeria has so many languages and uncountable dialects which demarcates them from getting to understand and value each other historical edifice . The value of one has no significant effect on the other. The ethnic diversity makes it a bit difficult to acknowledge one particular historical facts as Superior to the other.. 

MARY SLESSOR
Mary Mitchell Slessor ( 2 December 1848- 13 January 1915) was a missionary to Nigeria. While in Nigeria, should began teaching and she learned Efik, the local dialect. Because of her understanding of the native language and her bold personality, Slessor gained trust and acceptance of the local natives and was able to spread Christianity while promoting women's rights and protecting native . She is most famous for having stopped the common practice of the Ibibio people, a practice which later became the normal norms acceptable and presently appreciated in the history of Nigeria as a country.

OSUN, THE goddess of wealth
In the world of humans, there is this context of proximity of equality between the important being the world has ever known. Both concepts of ideas between this proposition has incur some benefit of a doubts,which on the contrary has no negative effects. This battle among them heeds great advantages. Their persue,struggle, queer forbidden contest all lies in the pain of propagation of history. History is made not on basics of life luxury or derelict of negligence but on the belief of some ancestral rites and motives.
Some of these eulogy might have some fossil of mixture and bits of misconception.The effects of this claim are mixed on facts and doubts yet they still contain some basic of beliefs which is still held as a mode of respect,worship and culture of the people who possessed this privilege .

WOMEN IN AFRICA
All across the world,women in respectable positions are hampered by numerous obstacles including pervasive and often subtle attitudes and beliefs that women are unequal. Women in Ancient African high culture civilizations are worshipped as "Guardian Angels" and revered as "mothers of the universe". A woman's wisdom was valuable treasure, and her aura was sought-after by real mean seeking to build and/or to maintain empires together. The clause "the black woman is God" comes from the knowledge of the original worship of "mother of God" not " Father of God". The latter came from the European male chauvinist religion that were used to divide and conquer the continent into slavery; they were amazed by the beauty and power that the black woman possessed especially when back home, the woman is tortured miserably ad a 'witch' for knowing more than a man.

MOTHER OF GOD

Evidence of the mother of God were considered"mother creatress", there are records of Goddess in Babylon, Egypt, kush, Africa, Australia and China. Women understood their magical power to uplift herself and her man to overcome adversity .
In Yoruba methodology, Osun is the only woman present at the time of creation. A woman of alluring beauty and the most powerful historical leader of Oshogbo(the capital city of Osun state). She is the goddess of wealth, feminity ,power and fecundity. As an African woman,Osun plays many roles that emanates from the central role as woman and mother.
As a mother,she is believed to be the protector of the poor,the mother of all orphans,she is the one who brings them what they need in this life through periods of weakness or strength. She is the mother of sweet and fresh waters. In her form as the mother of salt waters,she is known as Yemoja.
Then as a leader, Osun brought the teaching of divinations, mysticism , agriculture and culture to humans. Among the Yorubas of West Africa, she is known as Yalode, the mother of things outside the home or the mother of wealth due to her business acumen. She is a benevolent mother and the fierce warrior. She heals with her waters and destroys indiscriminately with her ragging flood. She is the creator of children , fertility squared. She is the fierce defender of her chil(priest and priestesses). She cries when she is happy and laugh when she is sad. To accentuate her dual nature's, Osun carries a brass cooling fan in one hand and a brass cutlass in the other. Strength and compassion; brass and honey.
He is central to the Yoruba thought and praxis. Her power is Multidimensional. Osun name means "source" from the word "orisun" which means the source of a river, a people, of children, of wealth, of life. She represents the perpetual renewing source of life. As the elemental power of waters, she makes life possible. Osun is the child -giving and curative power.
She is honored, revered, loved and worshipped. She is perceived as the source of condition of political power,as leader of The ( mother's ,iyami) As such , she is a founder of the ogboni society, the council of elders that bestows kingship.
In every society,most probably in a bilingual country of ours, ionta of doubt often steps into play when anything pertaining to any historical parlance is given a boisterous value. Every history always some bits of contradictory additional elements of fantasies. Since every culture tends to make his or her a little special,then why not spies it all with the all knowing facts. But contrary to the above presiding observations, Osun till remain a woman of historical value. Her mystical powers are still value up till date.
