Olodumare advised them to go back and make peace with Osun, which they did, there after peace and normalcy returned to Isaluaye (Earth)             Osun, in her lifetime as a human, was one of the wives of Sango, a former trouble shooter and Alaafin of Oyo.

Ishola Oyenusi, prevalently known as Doctor Oyenusi, was a famously outfitted burglar who threatened the individuals of Lagos and other neighboring urban areas during the 1970s. Ishola Oyenusi and his posse of six were exceptionally talented in grabbing vehicles, looting banks, manufacturing plants, stores, and slaughtering individuals like chickens. 🕸 Was Ishola Oyenusi Really A Medical Doctor? Dr. Oyenusi, as he was called, was not a specialist by calling but rather received the title for entertainment purposes. The proof lies in an admission he made a couple of moments before his execution. He admitted that his folks were not fit for encouraging his auxiliary school training and that was what constrained him into the theft. So without having an auxiliary school instruction, Oyenusi by no chance could have been a clinical specialist. 🕸 Oyenusi’s Robbery Exploits Oyenusi began his theft profession by grabbing a vehicle (whose proprietor kicked the bucket all the while) in light of t...
