Sango and Oya’s relationship was powerful. But also extremely tumultuous.
Like Oya leaving, having 9 children with another man, and returning back to Sango’s open arms tumultuous.

Like Oya almost killing Sango and Sango having to soothe her with food tumultuous.
My Baba said, “You know how long it takes to have 9 children with another man and still be waiting around for her? Sango is special.”

Oya had nine children with the Orisa Oko. But, he did the same thing that Ogun did to her: get drunk and expose her secret to others (she can change into a buffalo).
This ultimately led them separating and Oya cursing Oko that his children will never know him as their father.

There are many stories of tumultuous relationships in the odu, holding lessons for folks who are in similar positions.
There are also relationships in the odu that we can strive for! Like Obatala and Yemoo. A peaceful dynamic, living in relative laughter and joy forever.
