"Oba, the most senior of Shango's wives, was tricked by a rival into believing that if Shango ate a piece of her, he would love Oba eternally. Desperate for his affection, Oba cut off her ear and attempted to feed it to Shango mixed into his stew. He detected the trick and exiled her in disgust and rage. Grieving, Oba became the River Oba in present-day Nigeria"
"In a Cuban tradition, she ends up living in the cemetery and invented writing. There, she is tasked with recording the names of the dead."
