offer ebo with two roosters, two pigeons, two guinea-fowls and money.

Come and perceive all ire of life
2. Ifa advises you to exercise patience and understanding at all times. You must never show
anger. You will reap bountiful benefit if you can do this. Ebo materials; two pigeons, two
hens, two guinea-fowls, two roosters and money. On this, Ifa says:

never usurp what belongs to other people and if this has happened before, he/she needs
to go and return what does not belong to him/her to the rightful owner. This person must
also not be seen to be harbouring stolen properties. Whatever belongs to a group must
not be taken over by an individual. Ifa advises you to offer ebo with one matured he-
goat and money. You also need to feed Esu with one rooster. On this, Ifa says:

4. Ifa says that there are two women here who are close friends and their homes are not far
away from each other. Both of them are seeking the blessings of the fruit of the womb. Ifa
assures the two of them that they will soon become happy mothers. Ifa advises each of
them to offer ebo with two hens and money. There is also the need to prepare
appropriate medicine for them in order for them to become mothers.
