In Yoruba mythology, Oba was a river-goddess (Orisha), and one of the wives of Shango. She offered Shango her ear to eat, and he scorned her. Grieving, she became the Oba river which intersects with the Oschun river (Oschun was another wife of Shango) at turbulent rapids, a symbol of the rivalry between the two wives.
