during Their Itelodu Or Ikosedaye

By nature, Ogbè children are hard fighters, they do not accept defeat easily.
They keep striving until the end. As luck would have them normally they are
supported by the Deities and in the end, they achieve success. As the result of
their nature of never giving up, they achieve their heart's desired where many
others had failed.
The children of Ogbè-Se are good at sedentary businesses like cultivating,
trading, weaving, weaving ,leather works and so on. They should never
compromise in any business that brings with it extensive traveling like driving,
selling art, pilot and so on. They must also avoid smuggling.
The children of Ogbè-sé should never change their jobs without Ifa
consultation. Note this, to be changing from one job to another. This will bring
them only suffering and disappointment. If there was any problem with their
profession in a location, they can move to another location but in continuation of
the same work.
The children of Ogbè-Sé should never be in a hurry to succeed in life. They
should never be anxious in their  acquisition of wealth. This can only lead to
disaster and regrets.
Ógún will clarify the path of success for the children of Ogbè-Se. If they have
their building
staff that it is advisable for them to erect a shine for Ògún in the house. This will
bring
success
They will live a long time, have many children and will be influential among their
peers and in the community. They should be careful with envious people, they
should take extra care in their house of the in-laws to avoid harm to them, They
should always be awake where they will sit forward, they should take care of
their pants and other underwear.
They should also take extra care of them. They should be careful about
something that It can cause blindness or can turn them into the lame. This is a
very serious problem for the children of Ogbè-Se. To abbreviate Ogbè's
children-constant care is needed of their health to avoid being knocked down by
any diseases.
The children of Ogbè-Sé should never cheat others. They should never use their
positions,age connection of social status or wealth to deprive others of what
legitimately belongs to them. If they do, they will dishonor and humble
themselves. On the other hand, if anyone tries to cheat them, the person will live
to regret  such action. All the means legitimate must be applied including legal
action, to correct such evil. The culprit  Will be  humiliate.
Ifa prohibits fornication and adultery especially for the children of Ogbè-Se
females. Especially for  those  who are female, if they do this it will be
impossible for them to have a safe delivery. They will be prone to have abortions
They must also resist the risk of being taken out of their marital homes. The
Ogbè-Se male and female are consistently intelligent, comical, understanding
witty and beautiful people. They have the capacity to forge ahead where others
had retired. They never accept defeat in any situation. That's why always they
are successful. Your success is always more sweet than those of others. The
children of Ogbè-Se are great talker. their women scold continually. They do not
forget things easily. His women enjoy gossip at the expense of others.

When he went to buy a cripple as his first slave
They advised him to offer sacrifice
He complied.
Obàtálá (Orisa-nla-Oseeremagbo) wanted to start a new commercial enterprise.
He wanted to go to Ejigbo-mekún market to buy a slave who would help him in
his daily activities towards the success of the commercial company. Therefore,
he went to the house of his friend Òrúnmìlà for the consultation of Ifá. He was
told that he would be very successful in his plans and business tasks. They
advise him  to buy the first slave he saw in the market. They told him that
through slave, he would become very rich and very influential. They also told
him that his fame and popularity would have no limit. He was warned however
that the situation it would be very rough in the initial phase but that the suffering
would not last too long. After these messages, Obàtálá was advised to offer a
sacrifice with , Two white doves, two chickens and money. (For the client, he or
she also needs to perform a ritual to Obàtálá with snails, native chalk and
money). He complied and went to the Ejigbo-mekun market. In the market, the
first slave that Obàtálá saw was lame. He remembered the Ifa orders as
pronounced by Òrúnmìlà that he should buy the first slave he saw. He bought
the slave with regret. He was just wondering how the slave would bring to him
the promised wealth. This, nevertheless, He took the slave to his house. Obàtálá
was feeding him, Cleaning him, bathing it and taking the slave over the place to
the was served. The Obàtálá poverty and daily chores increased instead of
decreasing. He accepted his destiny without rancor. One day, the slave asked
Obátálá whether or not he (Obàtálá) had a farm of his own ,  That time, Obàtálá
had finished only growing large corn on the farm away from home Therefore,
Obàtálá answered in the affirmative. The slave asked him ,his( Obátálá )to take
him to the farm to live. When Obàtálá heard about his slave demand, he rejected
the appeal for two main reasons: One, the slave was lame, therefore, he  could
not find it convenient to survive on his own farm, two, Obàtálá had become
accustomed to the slave as a companion and confidant. He did not want to miss
the companionship of the slave accordingly. The slave pressurized Obàtálá
however to allow him to go to the farm and that he was able to fend himself for
him ,No problem. After many arguments and deliberations, Obàtálá agreed to its
demand Unknown to Obàtálá, the slave was a bird trap expert.Immediately he
arrived at the farm, he have put so many traps for the parrots. He have caught
many, removing its tail feathers and set them free again. Before long, he had so
many parrot tail feathers in his possession.
One day, Obàtálá told them that there was an important occasion that Olókun
had invited him (Obàtálá) to attend. The slave asked for the time when the
ceremony would take place. They told them. The slave then asked Obàtálá to
come see him (slave) on the farm two days to date the ceremony. Obàtálá
agreed to come without knowing why The slave had made this demand. On the
set date, Obàtálá was presented with a pretty crown made with parrot tail.  He
was so happy  expressed his surprise at the specialization of his enslaving slave
parrots and weaving pretty crowns with tails of parrots. Obàtálá promised to
bring the crown to the occasion of Olókun. At the ceremony, all Irunmole and
important dignitaries inquired about Obàtálá where he had made such a
beautiful crown. He tell them and they all made their orders. Obátálá charged
them the exorbitant prices and they all agreed to pay. Obàtálá returned home as
a happy man. he have narrated his experience to the slave. The slave was
equaly pleased that, at last, it was useful to Obàtálá. The slave made all the
crowns ordered and Obàtálá and the slave became wealthy. The slave recovered
his freedom but chose to remain forever with Obàtálá. The two lived happy and
comfortable. When Obàtálá remembered the Ifa messages, he was singing and
dancing and feeling grateful to Òrúnmìlà. He promised to offer the sacrifice
once again, but was told that all he needed to do was show gratitude to his Awo.
He did it:
Ojú ti n pón Awo, apónkú kó

commercial achievement. He or she will make commercial profits that will

Commentaries
This   stanza emphasize on the importance of   obeying Ifa instruction. Some
divine instructions
may  look ridiculous but they are meant to be obey as exemplify by Orisa-Nla
Oseeremagbo in this stanza.

IV.
Ifá says that the present work that the client for whom Ogbè-Sé is revealed is
his or her destined work this is the work he is destiny to do to succeed. He or
she should not change jobs. There is no need to leave work since leaving work
will bring more suffering to the client. All he or she needed to do is persevere
and wait for the best of Olòdùmarè. The client can move change from a location
to another in continuation of work. Anything in fact, work should not be
changed. Ifá says that the situation is a pity now, but that progress is on the
way. The client needs to offer sacrifice and perform ritual to his or her Ori. On all
ll these, Ifá says:
Isé Orí rán mni mo n se
Ona Edú rán me ni ni n tò
Díá fún Agbónbúlá
Ti yóó gbóón ibú lówó
Wón ní kó sákáále, ebo ní síse

Translation:
I follow the work that my Orí had chosen for me
I started the profession that my Ifá had told me to do
These were the declarations of Ifá to AGBONBULA
Who will exhaust streams to achieve prosperity
They advised him to offer sacrifice
He complied.
AGBONBULA specializes in depleting wells, drill holes, streams, streams and
small lakes. He had been doing work for a long without success. Except for
some occasions when he was invited to come and help exhausting the drain in a
community, complex or house, he just got anyone interested in his services. For
this reason, he was contemplating changing his work to fish. He reasoned that
he could catch enough fish to feed and for sale. He went accordingly to the Awo
above above mention for  the Ifa consultation. The Awo never told Agbónbúla to
change his job. They told him that he would have success with the work that he
was doing presently and that he should continue to do the job. Prosperity
sacrificing with two white doves, two Guinea-fowl, two chickens and money.
They also asked him to perform a ritual to Ifa with a hen and money while
performing the ritual to his Ori with an ARO . He obeyed everything and He
continued with his work. During  this period, the oldest wife of the Obá in her
community was in one of her tantrums for whom she was well known. In his dirty
mood that happened as a result of an argument with her husband, she grabbed
the most important crown on earth and went to throw it in a lagoon The whole
community was savage when they heard about their news. They gave the Obá
30 days, therefore, to find the crown or face  ignominy deposition. The Obá
made an announcement then anyone who could recover the crown of the lagoon
will be given half of all his worldly belongings. They all keep wondering how it
would be possible for anyone to recover the crown. Agbónbúla departed then on
 the assignment. Three weeks later, Agbúnbúla dried the Lagoon and recovered
the crown. The Obá divided all his property also in two and gave one part to
Agbónbúla. He therefore became very wealthy  and popular. He was singing and
dancing and giving praises to his Awo:
Isé Orí rán mni mo n se
Ona Edú rán me ni ni n tò
Díá fún Agbónbúlá
Ti yóó gbóón ibú lówó
Wón ní kó sákáále, ebo ní síse
O gbé'bo, or rubo
Ng Kasai gbon ibú u mi la la
Ng Kasaí gbón ibú u mi loóó
Translation.
I follow the work that my Ori had chosen for me
I started the profession that my Ifá had told me to do
These were the declarations of Ifá to Agbónbúla
Who will exhaust streams to achieve prosperity
They advised him to offer sacrifice
He complied
I do not owe but I run out my brook to prosper
I do not owe but I exhaust my stream to acquire wealth
Ifá says that with perseverance, the client will succeed enormously wealthy.
Commentaries
 This stanza of Ogbe Ose emphasis on importance of perseverance and
consistency in our work. What prevent many people from succeeding in life is
that they are jack of all trade and master of none. The habit of quitting has make
failure out of man than lack of talent.  A less talented person who can persevere
will always win. In a confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream
always wins, not through strength but by perseverance. It is only through hard
work and perseverance that great things come from not excuse.
V.
Ifá says that he will provide Ire of enormous wealth for the client for whom this

Èsù) to choose the wealth of the top. The sooner, the 1,460 travelers had made
a big hole in wealth and they continued to drill the wealth at the  base. In one
phase, the riches excavated below and the 1,460 travelers were trapped inside.
They all died before help could locate them. Only Òrúnmìlà survived.

reached there, he discovered that this new place was even better than the
previous one. Seeing this, he He knew to will be easy to get fishes for Ifa would
not pose any problem at all. He said to his house then that this must be their
final place of abode. He considered hearing the verdict of the two pigeons as a
formality. In the afternoon, he released the two birds. As as usual, they
wandered around and around. They returned  like they do in  the beginning to

complaining that they could not understand  why they had no specific
destination. They however left the  following morning

earth of birds was prettier than that of rats and fish. He congratulated himself
that he He had reached where he was going now. Everyone in his house is
happy too.
In the afternoon, he released the two pigeons so that these birds would confirm
to him that he had reached its final destination. The birds wandered around and

continue in the journey  abruptly. They did for  a little hunting for them and
settled down in the land of birds. Òrúnmìlà , continued with the rest of his house

He complied.
When Òrúnmìlà came to the land of animals, he found the place better than the
land of rats, fish and birds. Although he was full of apprehension that pigeons
could reject the option of the land of animals as the final destination, he, all the
same, was optimistic that the earth would be very comfortable to him. He
believed that he could be able to get all the animals he needs to feed his Ifa with
relative ease in this land. In the afternoon, Òrúnmìlà released the two pigeons.
They wandered around and around. They came back and started singing thus:

On hearing this, some of the members of the house of Orúnmìlà's house chose
to stay back in the land of animals. They therefore asked Òrúnmìlà to continue in
on journey. Òrúnmìlà and the remaining members of his house continued on the
journey. next morning. While going, They were all with grief and pain.

They advised him to offer sacrifice
He complied.
When Òrúnmìlà and his house reached the land of Human Beings, they were all
jubilant that they had reached their final destination. They threw a party. All of
them were happy and grateful to Olódùmare and Ifá. They began to erect their
building, All were celebrating their good luck when Òrúnmìlà let go the two
pigeons. All his remaining house agreed that hearing the birds was just a
formality the birds would confirm that they should be staying in the community
of human beings. All of them were waiting to hear a favorable verdict from the
two pigeons when the pigeons walked around and round and just came back to
start singing that:
Gbogbo oun tó dán kó ni wúra o, Orúnmlia o
Orí o yi de'bi Orí ó jokó o o, Orúnmìlà o
Translation:
Not all that glitters is gold, Oh orúnmìlà
You ori has not reach it final destination, Oh Òrúnmìlà.
This last verdict had a devastating effect on all members of the house of
Òrúnmìlà. All of them concluded that Òrúnmìlà  is suffering from  one  mischief
or another . Therefore, they decided to stay and place themselves in the land of
the Human beings and Orunmìlà continued on his rare journey. All the
supplications of Orunmila  to his house  fell on deaf ears. Consequently,
Òrúnmìlà continued on his journey. Nobody followed him.

These were the declarations of Ifá to Òrúnmìlà
When going on  a spiritual journey to the land of Ògún
They advised him to offer sacrifice.
He complied.
Orúnmìlà moved alone to the abode of Ògún. The whole place was thick and
disheveled. Ògún was looking worn too, his hair was thick and misaligned. His
mustache and beard were long and dirty. His clothes were in tatters. The same
view of Ògún postponed Òrúnmìlà completely. He knew for sure that he could
not stay in that land . For this reason, he was quite sure that when he released
his two pigeons, they would say not to stay in that inhospitable environment. In
the afternoon, Òrúnmìlà releases his two bird. The birds walked around and
round and returned to Orunmìlà singing thus:
Orí o ma yi de ibi Orí o joko o or Orunmìlà o
Orí o ma ma de'bi Ori o jokó o or Orunmìlà o
Translation:
Your Orí has reached its final destination now, Orúnmìlà
Your Orí is now in its final destination, Orúnmìlà
Hearing this, Òrúnmìlà burst into tears, He wept and wept. Finally, he resigned
himself to his fate and decided to make the best use of the ugly situation in
which he found himself. The next morning, Ogún approached Òrúnmìlà and
asked Òrúnmìlà to give him (Ògún) a clean shave. Òrúnmìlà did it. After this,
presentable. He left for his house. A short time after, Ògún returned to Òrúnmìlà
and told him (Òrúnmìlà) that he, Ògun  had been observing Orunmila since the
day before he arrived. He said he also heard all that Òrúnmìlà are grumbling on
his arrival subsequently. He however assure Òrúnmìlà that he had simply
achieved the best place he could wish to be in life. Ògún said that the lands of
rats, fish, birds, animals and human beings could not be compared to where he
was at that moment. He said that he, Ògún, was going to assure that human
beings being in their own land would come and go and   would worship
Òrúnmìlà. He, Ògún, would give them tools with which they could conquer the
rats, fish, birds and animals, all for the purpose of worshiping , Òrúnmìlà and
also to get things that feed , Ifa, to earn money and to feed it Orunmila thanked
him for his kind gestures. Right away, Òrúnmìlà became very successful and
very popular through the help of Ògún. All the members of his house that had
left him until here returned with apologies He accepted his pleas. They were
singing and dancing and praising him like to Ifá and Olodumare:

Commentaries
This stanza  of ogbese  point out the need to persevere and shunned spirit of
quitting, and point out that appearances  often deceptive, following divine
instruction is essential. This stanza of Ifa is laying emphasis on the fact that all
that glitter is not gold, they saying that all that glitters is not gold, wish simply
mean that not all that look  good , precious, or true turn out to be so, this phrase
is not only applicable to place or people , it applied to the universe in general.
Hence obeying divine instruction is necessary.
VII.
Ifá says that the client for whom this Odú is revealed has no means with which
to command any respect He or she says is not taken seriously, especially by his
or her relations. Ifá says that there is a need for this client to offer all the
necessary sacrifice and perform ritual to the spirit of his or her paternal
ancestor so that he or she has the ASE. It's then and only then that he or she
can say something and can others wait to take his or her words with any degree
of severity. On, this Ogbè-Sé says:
Keké lawo idi amu
Dia fun Egungun Abala
Ti n Sunkun oun o lase lenu
Won ni ki sakaale ebo ni  sise
O gbe'bo or rubo
KEKE is the Awo of the base of the water pot
He was the Awo who launched Ifá for the masquerade of ABALA
When crying in lament of his inability to possess ASE
They advised him to offer sacrifice
He  complied.
The ABALA masquerade usually came out with its full regalia. When he pray for
people , they do not take him  seriously. Whenever he prayed for people, the
prayer never came to pass. If he  asked people not to do anything,  they will
simply ignored because whatever he said was never  an  authority, Tired of this
kind of existence, he  went for Ifa's consultation.  Could he exercise his authority
in life? Could he say something for his speech to have Ase? Would people take it
seriously in life? The Awo asked him to keep his mind at rest. He was sure that
he would have the Ase and that something he said would certainly happen. They
advised him to offer sacrifice with three roosters and money. After this, they
asked him to prepare-crushed-yam and garden-egg soup . he  went to use this
to propitiate the spirits of his ancestors father ancestor,The first piece of -
crushed-yam, covered with garden-egg soup would be put in a corner of his
room. I he went to pray on  this and then he hits a long  needle and then  he
have used it to touch his tongue before speaking to people or before praying for
them. He  have obeyed all the Orders of the Awo. The next time he  came out, he
 touched his tongue with the needle. All he said to the people came to pass. All
those for whom he  prayed got what they wanted The sterile women became
pregnant. The patient was healed. The poor  became rich. The family respected
him and took him more seriously than  they had in the past. He was singing then
and he  was praising his Awo:
Keke lawo idi amu
Good day Egungun Abalá
Ti n sunkun oun or lase lenu
Won ni ko sakaale ebo ni sise
O gbe'bo or rubo

Ifá you were the one who made it possible for him to show off
You were certainly the one who made it possible for him to show off
You were the only one who dressed the hunchback companion
You were the only one who made it possible for him to show off.
Ifá says that the person for whom this Odú is revealed will command respect
and have authority in his or her life.
Commentaries
 The message drive home by this  this stanza is about the usefulness of man to
his fellow human  and society at  large. No man respect any man who is not
useful to him or her in one way or the other. The usefulness of a cup is not in his
emptiness.The sweetnees of life lie in  usefulness.
VIII.
Ifá says that someone very close to this client is planning his or her fall. Ifá says
that Such a person will be put to a shame. On the other hand, Ifá warns that this
client should never plan to shoot anyone down or otherwise  he or she would be
the one who would fall. On  this, Ifá says:
Alawe eko, abeyin gún.unrun
Dáá fún Araba
Ti won yoo fi joye e kowokowo
Wón ni ko sakáale, ebo ni sise
O gbebo, or rubo
Translation:
The broken part of EKO food with its rough spine
He was the Awo who threw Ifa for the ARABA tree
Who the adversary was planning his fall
They advised him to offer sacrifice
He complied.
Araba and IROKO trees have long been neighbors. However, Irokó  had never
been comfortable with the Araba tree for  a full day in his life. Consistent with
this, Irokó had been planning how the Araba tree would be knocked down by
wood cutters. One day, Iroko went to the millers of the timbers and negotiated
with them on how to  reduce  the Araba tree for use as wood. During the night of
the same day. Araba had a bad dream where he saw himself sliced in pieces. He
went  therefore to the Awo above mention for  the Ifa consultation. The Awo told
Araba that he was in grave danger. Araba was also told that his Neighbor and
friend were planning his death along with others. Araba was however sure he
would not die and that plot would fail while the main conspirator would be one to
suffer the fate of what he planned against Araba. wizards, Araba was advised to
offer sacrifice with a matured crab, 200 large needles, shea butter, KONJO and
money. He was also advised to perform Èsù Odara ritual with a rooster, palm oil
and money. Araba obeyed all the Orders of the Awo.
In the day that Araba would be knocked down, the millers of the timbers came
with axes and machetes.They started cutting the Araba tree. Unfortunately for
them, the 200 needles that Araba had offered as a sacrifice had become barbed
in its trunk and had been making it impossible for the millers of the timer  to
move near him. The same time, the shea  butter was making it slippery while the
tree had grown getting very hard and hard to hit. Soon, the millers of the timbers
were frustrated. When they were discussing each what line of action nest to
take. Èsù Odara  appeared to them in human. He greeted them. They
responded. He asked what the Then  was the  problem. They narrated their
difficulty in pulling the Araba tree. They They asked for the advice of Èsù Odara.
Èsù Odara advised them to forget about knocking  down Araba tree. He pointed
to Iroko's tree and informed them that Iroko was definitely more easily
controllable. The millers' sawmills saw the sense in what he was saying. They
tested their hands in Irokó and in blink of an eye. The Great Iroko was lying
down. All of them thanked Èsù Òdàrà and everyone left Several ways.
After the departure of all, Èsù Odara returned to Araba and informed him that
Iroko was the person who had been planning the bad against him. Èsù Odara
informed him to be singing and dancing as the danger is over. Iroko had reap 
the fruit of his plot. Araba was so happy and thanked Èsù Odara, his Awo, Ifa
and Olòdùmarè:
Alawe eko abeyin gun-unrun
Dia fun Araba
won yoo fi jeye to kowokowo
Won ni ki sakaale ebo ni sise
O gbe'bo or rubo
Nje kowokowo
Araba or wo mo
Oju ti Iroko
Kowokowo
Kokukoku
Otosi o ku mo
Oju ti Oloro
Koku-koku
Translation
The broken part of EKO food with its rough spine
He was the Awo who threw Ifa the Arab tree
Who the adversary was planning his fall
They advised him to offer sacrifice
He fulfilled
Now, may he be knocked down prematurely
Araba has escaped untimely death
What a shame for Iroko
May he be knocked down prematurely
may he be dead before his time
The poor did not die again
What a shame to the opulent
May he die before his time.
Ifá says that a rich person should not plan badly against a poor person so that
he does not face the consequences. In the same vein, the client should not
conspire with anyone against any less-privileged person. If he or she did, he or
she will feel the action. By the other hand, if anyone plans against this client, or
as a result of the fact that the client was hindered one way or the other or that
he or she was in a disadvantageous position, all those who conspire against the
client will regret their action.

Ifá says there were two people where this Odú is revealed who needed to offer
sacrifice against physical deformity. The first one needs to offer sacrifice
against the problems of eye. In fact, the sacrifice must be directed towards the
prevention of total blindness. The second need to offer sacrifice against leg
problems - that is, to prevent be crippled Both of them need to offer sacrifice,

Translation
Even when he will die
I will strive
I will certainly put a good fight
These were Ifa declarations to the lame
The same was declared to the Blind
They two were advised to offer sacrifice
They complied.
Both the lame  (Aro) and the Blind (Afoju) were living hard lives. They found It
difficult to undertake all the daily chores as his skillful colleague .Unfortunately
for them, this disability only suddenly developed. They were never born invalid.
One day, the two took a decision to go and consult Ifa on their problem. They
went  therefore to the Awo who declared to them that the dumbest thing for any
sensible person to do was to resign himself to fate whenever there was problem
without first putting a spirited fight against the problem. He also assured them
that their problems would be provisional; they should go  about their respective
businesses doing as if there was no problem at all. In other words,  they must
not  allow their invalids to  put  them down  in any way.  They were also  advised
to offer sacrifice, each with a goat, the oil of the palm, 16 kola nuts, 16 bitter-
kolas, and money. They also had to perform ritual to Ifa with four rats, four fish,
one chicken each while they had to perform a ritual to Obàtálá with 16 snails,
enough native chalk and shea butter each.
They had to take part of the Shea butter already in Obàtálá, rub the affected
part with it may time a day.. They complied. Soon, Obàtálá, Ifá and Olodumare
assured that the Blind recovered its sight while the lame regained his limbs. The
two were singing, dancing and praising Olodumare for blessing them
abundantly.

Let's join where we use sacrifice to overcome problems
Ifa says that clients will overcome their problems. Ifa also warns that it does not
matter how serious any problem can be, it is unwise for clients to resign
themselves to fate . They must strive to the good end. When the going is getting
harder, they they must harden their minds as well and they must continue that
victory is certain; the victory is more sweet.
Commentaries
The core message and lesson in this stanza of Ogbese point on the essence of
determination as a key to solve any daunting life problems, as the say goes that
the difference between the possible and impposible liesin a person
determination. A man who is very determined can overcome any problem.
XI.
Ifa says that there is a need to offer sacrifice against disease. Ifa says it is
advisable for the whole family to participate offering this sacrifice. If this is
done, the evil spirit responsible for bringing the disease will die. On the other
hand, if the disease has already hit, the sacrifice will incapacitate the spirit
responsible for the diseases and send it from the client's house. On  these, Ifá
says:

Desfiguration that he returned to beauty, the Awo of  Odideré (Parrot)
He was the Awo who threw Ifa for Odide're
Who was the favorite in Iwo village
They advised him to offer sacrifice against disfigurement
He complied.
Odíderé (parrot) was everyone's favorite in Iwó town. Iwó was a village in the
house of father-in-law of Odíderé. He knew how to be a very intelligent, comical,
loquacious person ingenious There was nothing anyone could do to disturb him.
He was always encouraging everyone that we were in trouble to continue
striving and that the future would be better than the present period. For these
reasons, any collection in the house of the Father-in-law of Odíderé that did not
include him was considered incomplete. Many people,they would ask for him
without end. Odíderé was also the only confidant of his father-in-law. Initially, we
all love and appreciate the role of being played by Odídere. After however, he
 envy harvesting. Some could not see any reason why Odíderé,  must be the
only one whom everyone always loves to see on every occasion. They could not,
see no reason why he should be the only confidant of his father-in-law. They did
not se no reason why he should take himself as if he were the only one who
knew how to speak, who ,could make people laugh, that he could advise and
profess solution to all, problems and who could accustom their ingenuity
advantage to everyone in the community. consequently, some people planned
against him that they would prepare a portion, powerful but dangerous and
would be put in the seat of Odidere to sit on, in order to spoil his  complexion
and spoil his pretty tail feathers. They reasoned that the plot, if successfully
carried out, would pay the arrogance of Odíderé permanently. The trap was
prepared, ready for the use at the appropriate opportunity.
Shortly after this, a problem arose in the house of Odíderé's in-laws, the
conspirators advised his father-in-law to invite Odíderé in order to profer
solution as usual. Without suspecting anything at all, the father-in-law sent for
Odídere. The conspirators also, on the other hand, saw the situation as the
opportunity that they  had been waiting for the order to deal with Odíderé. They
introduced the invention therefore dexterously in the favorite seat of Odíderé.
When Odideré arrived at the house of his in-laws, the conspirators occupied all
available seats, leaving one that had been overwhelmed with the invention
Odíderé, quickly. Without suspecting any work of the enemies , Odíderé sat
down on the seat. After the discussion  with his in-laws, he left for his own
house, still without any suspicion.
A few days later, Odideré woke up to find out that he was having itching on his
buttocks and tail. He scratched the area repeatedly. Soon after, the itching
turned to serous rashes while their tail feathers were turning red. Odídere He
burst into tears when he saw this transformation. He found it difficult to get out
in his condition. He was too embarrassed. While lamenting his difficulty, he
remembered this instead of resigning himself to fate, he must solve at least his
problem. For each problem, people say there is a solution. Therefore, he was
responsible for his present difficulty? What should he do to ensure that his skin
regained its normal color? How was he going to overcome the shame caused by
chance ?.
The Awo told Odideré that he got the problem at his in-laws' house. He was
however, he was assure that he would overcome the problem and that he would
be better off for him.  They advised that he offer sacrifice with a goat and
money. He complied. After this, some medicines were prepared for him to use
three times daily. After seven days his whole skin had assumed a quality of
beuty. His tail was red but he was shining  more than any other bird's tail. While
all these were happening him, he was unprepared. He was afraid to look at
himself. He summoned courage then to see how he was looking He put water
inside a bucket, he looked inside the
water, but he was not sure what he saw. He decided to leave his house for the
day. When people saw Odíderé, everyone exclaimed in wonder at the
transformation incredible and beauty that was seen in Odíderé. Everyone kept
mentioning his  tail is the  the most beautiful tail they had ever seen. Out of
curiosity they asked him, he would have  to tell them the secret of its beautiful
and unprecedented transformation. All he He said it was this disfigurement that
became beauty. From that day until today, theOdider tail is the tail most seek-
after and most expensive any bird has,
especially for its size :

He complied
The disfigurement has returned to beauty, we no longer die any group death
Let all the awo know that disfigurement has returned to beauty.
Ifá says that the bad plan of envious people will add up to zero. Ifa advocates
caution and theExtreme care where this Odú is revealed. Ifá also says that in
case the client entered into this trap, he or she he should  offer appropriate
sacrifice. After this, the client must be rest assured that he wiil be victorious. In
this prudence, the client must not only be careful with where and what he or she
feel, but also his or her pants and other undergarments. the simple reality that
Ifá says that the client will be free better at the end of the day does not give
them the license to be careless or foolish. He or she should not be deliberately
negligent in this problem. That will add to pushing one's luck too far.
XVI.
Ifa warns a wealthy and influential person against scams. He should not because
of his or her age, position, wealth or connection, rip off someone under his or
her social status or Economic status. If the person does this, he or she will
humble themselves. Ifá says that if the client is the person cheated, he or she
must take all legitimate means to demand his or her law. Ifa says that the culprit
will be put to shame.
On the other hand, the client should also never cheat others if he or she does
not want to be dishonored. On  these, Ifá says:

Except if I do something without authority
Except if I do not pay my due reverence
These were the declarations of Ifá to Eera Godogbo (Black Ant)
When going to launch Ifa for Oloffin
They advised him to offer sacrifice
He complied.
There was a serious problem in the domain of Olofin. The problem  devoid all
the solutions known. As a result of this, Olófin sent to Eera Godogbo to consult
Ifa. Before the departure of Eera Godogbo, and as usual practice between
Babaláwo, he went to his own Awo for the Ifá consultation to determine what his
stay at the Palace  of Olofin would be like.
The Awo informed Eera Godogbo that he would succeed in solving Olofin's
problems. They warned that however at the end of all this. Olofin can renege on
his promise to Eera Godogbo: They said that Olofin  would promise  Eera
Godogbo but he would refuse to pay, The Awo said that if this happened, Eera
Godogbo should use all means legitimate to collect his  money from Olofin. Eera
Godogbo was advised to offer sacrifice with three roosters and money. He
complied and went to the place of Olofin. In the place of Olofin. Eera Godogbo
prepared many Ifa cures for Olofin. Eera Godogbo was in a room in the palace of
Olofin as was the practice in those days. Preist are  asked to stay and monitor
the progress of what he had done and had assured that all problems were
alleviated before he could return to his home base. Eera Godogbo agreed.
Oloffin promised to pay 50 bags of Cowries if all the problems were solved .
Soon, Eera Godogbo succeeded in solving all these problems. Everyone in the
palace of Olofin  were happy and full of praise for Eera Godogbo. They all said
that despite his small stature, he had succeeded where all the other Awo had
failed With this, Eera Godogbo packed his belongings and went to Oloffin to ask
him to fulfill his (Oloffin) promise to pay 50 bags of Cowries.Surprisingly, Olofin
refused to pay sharply. He said that those who were more big, stronger and
more influential than Eera Godogbo could not take money from him
This reason, Eera Godogbo felt very downcast. He could not believe that any of
the statetment  of Olofin, the highest hierarchical classification Obà on land,
could do this to him, to a Babaláwo. Eera Godogbo decided to say behind Olofin
to see the reason a for  a change of mind then. After waiting for several months,
without any positive response from Olófin, Eera Godogbo decided to put the
advice of his Awo in use. That afternoon, he paid reverence to his ancestors and
all their guardians. He prayed for help and called in Òrúnmìlà and Olòdùmarè to
allow him to succeed. After telling everyone what had been going on, he sought
the authority of his  parents, Òrúnmìlà and Olòdùmarè  reporting  Olofin. he
went to sleep.
Very early the next morning, a thought occurred to him on how to deal with
Oloffin While the court of Olofin was completely in session. Eera Godogbo came
in and asked for the indulgence of all present to hear what he had to say. All of
them agree. He narrated all his experience then in the palace of Olofin to all
present; he told them how he was invited by Olofin when he was having
problems, how he he was able to solve the problems through the help of Ifa how
Oloffin promised to pay him 50 bags of Cowries, how Olofin had reneged, on the
promise, how he had expected several months for Oloffin to fulfill the promise
without success
After telling this story, all eyes went back to the directions of Olofin in
consternation. Many Expressions of discredit. Some expressed fright and
disappointment. Olofin was so ashamed of him that he buried his head in
shame. Olof he simply entered his deepest chamber and took out the 50 bags
of Cowries and gave them to him. to Eera Godogbo. This nonetheless, however,
the impression was indelible in the minds of all those present  that day. Olófin
lived with humiliation for the rest of his life.
