In the vibrant city of Ogbomoso, located in the heart of Nigeria, a remarkable tale has been passed down for generations. It is the story of Baba, a tortoise who captured the hearts and admiration of the people, serving as a revered deity for over four centuries. This extraordinary creature was first discovered by the esteemed King Soun, who encountered Baba during one of his military campaigns, and upon witnessing the tortoise's remarkable longevity and strength, he decided to bring it back to Ogbomoso, where it would go on to shape the history and culture of the region.
