On 23 August 2022 The Associated Press reported:
Yeyerisa Abimbola has dedicated most of her 58 years on Earth to the Osun, a waterway in deeply religious Nigeria named for the river goddess of fertility. As the deity's chief priestess, she leads other women known as servants of Osun in daily worship and sacrificial offerings along the riverbank. But with each passing day, she worries more and more about the river. Once sparkling and clear and home to a variety of fish, today it runs mucky and brown.
Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern culture and science systems.
Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.
... The river, which flows through the dense forest of the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove -- designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005 -- is revered for its cultural and religious significance among the Yoruba-speaking people predominant in southwestern Nigeria, where Osun is widely worshipped.
But it's under constant threat from pollution from waste disposal and other human activity -- especially the dozens of illegal gold miners across Osun state whose runoff is filling the sacred river with toxic metals. Amid lax enforcement of environmental laws in the region, there are also some who use the river as a dumping ground, further contributing to its contamination.
