" #Oya had become so furious that she wanted to destroy the kingdom with her winds, but controlled herself because she respected her father Obatala.
So sad and lonely , she turned to Yemaya "Iya mi ( my mother) with your waters and my winds we could end this marriage". ....

Yemaya stood there and listened to her daughter and could not believe that Oya would be so angry and ignited to start war over a man . None the less her own son, the man who she had claimed to love.
#Yemaya responded "Do not count on me to end this marriage, Because child you forget it is my OMO AlAFI (favorite son) who is caught in the middle of your tempest , and I will never fight against my own son".
" #Yemaya felt sorrow for her daughter Oya and her sadness and tried in vain to reason her child for her to accept the situation as it was."
Oya had always listened to her mother's advise but not on this occasion, and from that time on #Oya grew distant from #Yemaya.

Oya’s themes are justice, tradition, zeal and femininity.
Her symbols are fire, water and the number 9.
A Yoruban mother Goddess and spirit of the river Niger.

She is wild and irrepressible, like the 
fire she’s said to have created, yet Oya presides over matters of fairness and custom, using that fire as the light of truth.

Frederick Douglass:
"I want the slaveholder surrounded, as by a wall of anti-slavery fire... I would have condemnation blaze down upon him in every direction, till, stunned and overwhelmed with shame and confusion, he is compelled to let go."

We don't fear little white boys who delude themselves into thinking that they are Thor. We do not fear Russia. But we are terrified of Oya's fire and her wind -- terrified of the global RAGE and RESPONSE that will wipe them (so many innocent people) out.
Their delusions will create a bigger monster -- a dragon that will set the world on fire.
