The Yoruba only believe in one god and several deities(Orisa) under God. We don't have gods or goddesses. However Onile is not one of these deities. Onile is simply the spirit, essence of the earth, it is not orisa.Unlike many other Orisa, Onile never walked the Earth(because she is the Earth), and never appeared in huma form. very Nice summary, Just to add.
