In African mythology especially among the Yoruba people of Nigeria, Ogun is the first orisha to have come on Earth and earned the name Osin-Imole, to commemorate this achievement, he then thought humankind and the other orishas how to make iron, but was one day cast out by the other orisha and took the traits of a warrior called Onire.
