What mining has done to the Osun river. There was a circular that devotees shouldn’t drink the water from the Osun river because they suspected it had been contaminated but there is problem of fate and faith. How do you tell people not to drink from what they believe in and what they have trusted for over 6centuries.? If you trace the source of the river from Ekiti, it is as clean as the Ikogosi water but the journey through ilesa and to Osogbo is where it can’t be ignored. It has gotten worse between 2020- 2026. This is where both the federal government and the state government decides the choice of climate change and the impact aggressive mining is doing to the faith of the devotees who believe in this sacred place. #SaveOsunRiver #SaveTheGrove #Konibaje

Yes, and we want to go back to a time when all our water bodies looked like this. Ghana’s water bodies are being destroyed due to illegal mining. Our rivers are being polluted with mercury and cyanide. Communities that depend on these rivers for drinking, cooking, farming, and fishing are being left with unsafe water. In mining-affected areas, there are growing concerns about serious health impacts. Kidney-related illnesses are on the rise, and there are increasing reports of children being born with health complications linked to long-term exposure to polluted water. #StopGalamseyNow

Cleanliness is a cherished tradition we must continue to uphold. As we celebrate the Osun Osogbo Festival, a symbol of our rich cultural heritage, we urge all residents and visitors to keep the environment clean. Kindly make use of the waste bins provided and help preserve the beauty of Osun. In the spirit of innovation and sustainability, Waste Swap will be setting up service stations throughout the festival. Here, you can exchange your plastic waste for cash, turning trash into treasure while keeping our land sacred and spotless. #osunosogbo #sustainability #wastetowealth
