One of the very Paramount things told me from Oral tradition is that shango is a very dreaded god in the Yoruba race.
Shango is believed to be powerful that if people who has no clean conscience goes to swear before Shango.
One of the stories gathered from Oral tradition in the Popular Uselu market in Benin city Nigeria has it that someone stole an Umbrella in the market and some of the traders in Benin went ahead and swore shango.
Shango struck down the culprit and left the stolen umbrella at the side of the Culprit.
The mysterious thing about shango is how He goes about to get the items that are stolen by culprit and keeps it by them after striking them dead.
This mystery is still yet to be unraveled by human world .
Furthermore, shango is believed to have enormous power to rescue people He can even rescue from Ogun.
It is also believed that Shango can protect your properties and protect you from danger.
In this modern day shango is still worshipped around the world .
"Some of the incantation used is " Kowo Cabio Sile Shango " It is repeated severally to invoke the spirit of Shango."
In modern day it is represented with a stone placed in a calabash and offered blood for protection or vengeance.
It's colour is red, depicting the dreaded nature of Shango. Shango has most of His worshippers amongst the Yoruba people and some part of southern Nigeria especially in Benin city, this may be as result of the relationship that exist in the Benin and Yoruba heritage.
