Ancient Yoruba used Osanyin as the symbol for pharmacy and medicine.

The symbol of a rod and snake used today comes from an ancient Greek legend. It is a combination of symbols representing Aesculapius, the Greek god.

Let us reclaim our culture and history and replace the snake and rod with Osanyin.

Who is Osanyin?

Osanyin is the Orisa(not god) of Herbs and leaves.

He can be seen as the father of Medicine, Most of the names given to plants and herbs in Yoruba land were believed to be by Osanyin.His staff is composed of a circle of small birds and a shaft in the middle that elevates a large bird above smaller ones.

A Sovereign Yoruba nation would have tradomedical experts who have studied the effects of plants and its effects on the body. 

The Tradomedical experts will now work in a herbal pharmacy to treat people as it took place before in Nigeria and in places like Cuba, Brazil etc

The Yoruba built a Yoruba country before Nigeria and will build a Yoruba country after Nigeria.
