EDO STATE; Secondly Edo state is a land of great heritage that also has a legacy of the TRINITY OF GOD HEAD.:EDO STATE TRINITY-1:
1] THE EDO TRINITY of Queen IDIA the Mother, Ewuare the son and
Odudewa- Olodumare, Olokun, Oluaye as the God Head the father...and it
is the believe that the Benin Monarch as traditional rulers represent
God and Deity among men of subsequent creation. . In this great land Edo
state there are many religion sites of worship that are of great
significance to the human Race, that UNESCO can also extend
sponsorship to in the aspects of protecting declining culture ,due to
larceny of the artifacts representing the GODS , lack of fund to develop
and protect the sites from gullible businessmen in search of land for
factories etc
EDO STATE TRINITY-2:

,OSHOMOSHI[ GODHEAD] AND THE PEOPLE[ REPRESENTED BY THE OTARU OF IGARRA
STOOL]- The Trinity of the Igarra kingdom celebrated every 7 years ,for
the past 2000 years, is a notable significance of the great relations
between the God head Oshomoshi, the leader of all the gods of Kukuruku-
Ori Ofu-[an equivalent of OBATALA, Amon Ra,etc] which is the site of
celebration, in the great shrine of Ori-ofu of Igarra as a manifestation
of the underlying reality of the harmony in diversity of the gods, with
the God Head, the benefactor OSHOMOSHI-and the great peoples of Igarra
kingdom represented by the Otaru of Igarra- and this Trinity is
responsible for the continuous existence, protection and security of the
Igarra Kingdom.
Like the IGARRA- ABA FESTIVAL/ WORSHIP-- DEITY OF
ORI OFU-The site has been invaded by the road to Osomorica and many
peoples have encroached the entire land to build houses around the site
of ORI OFU - this is the site of one of the greatest Gods of Africa that
has a very large follower ship and the sit where the great ABA festival
of IGARRA KINGDOM is done every seven years, a tradition that dates
back to over 1000[ one thousand] years history of the Igarra

dowo[IGARRA],
EDO TRINITY -3
3] ISAMI [IKPESHI]-The great shrine
of ISAMI of Ikpeshi which is also a great trinity has been bastardized
by those people who mine and process solid minerals in the great river
ISAMI where devotee and leaders of the Shrine gather to make
appeasements to the god and goddess of ISAMI-
ISAMI was the
manifestation of a Male and female lover who decided to become a great
river ISAMI as an Oracle / divination to help and save all of mankind
who come to them for help.But all around the shrine have been devastated
by the greedy miners of solid mineral deposit in Akoko Edo LGA IN Edo
State; The Edo state Government has to do something quickly by inviting
UNESCO to come and assist through funding and financial assistance to
protect this great religion and cultural heritage of the Edo /kukuruku
peoples.
