(I'm fairly sure it's not Yob-Soddoff the god of English football hooligans - but it doesn't sound much like any of the others i've heard of either.)
Here is a list (probably incomplete of just the gods of Africa.

If it matters, I am known as 'Masanja' which, I am told, means 'Omnipresent' in the Sukuma language.
