	Nigeria's Yemoja is world's best drama
		On October 7, when the troupe departed for Mexico, Dr. Ahmed Yerima, artistic director of the National Troupe, had expressed the hope of an outstanding performance relying on the outcome of the October I show as part of activities marking the 41st Independence anniversary of Nigeria.
		The play, according to him, is a celebration of the river goddess, Yemoja, in a self-conceived myth and story, which forms an attempt at explaining the spread if the worship of the revered river goddess from the Yoruba cosmology into the entire Diaspora.
		The artistic director reasoned that the presentation at the festival would further reaffirm Yemoja as a figure that traverses all ethnic barriers into an international and true hero goddess and also measure her influence on the tradition and religion of the countries in the Diaspora.

		In Western Africa the Sea Deity known as Yemoja (Yemayá), the Yoruban River Mother, is one of several riverrain goddesses (Thompson 72).
		Yemoja, then, appears to mediate between all pairs of opposites in conflict with each other.
		Yemoja represents itself archetypally through the image of the strongest tension, the "eternal struggle of the sexes in Yoruba society over control of the life force" (Thompson 74).

		Yemoja is the Yoruban River-Mother of Sea Deity of Western Africa, carrying within herself the source of all life, the power to protect and defend life, and the art of mystic retribution (Thompson 72).
		Further, Yemoja possesses twin powers and belongs to the dyad of Yemayá-Olukun, reflecting both a her-self in the upper waters and a him-self of unknown (and therefore ominous) depths.
		Yemoja reflects that which mediates between a he and a she in conflict with each other and in each other as (an other) self.

		In Yorubaland olokun refers to the entire ocean, but in some areas of the New World, this Orisha refers only to the bottom of the sea, with Yemoja governing the top.
		Given the nature of the bottom of the sea; where even metals dissolve, Olokun governs transformation, the birth of new forms/children/ideas, and the generation of wealth, which Yemoja can bring to the devotee.
		Often Olokun works in consort with Oya, the Orisha who governs the winds of change to bring transformation of all kinds -- for example, Floods are brought by wind, and wealth in the form of new ideas, children, or money bring transformation.
