It is a heavy burden for the carrier of death’s basket
Cast divination for Olomo a ji fooko sara
‘Would I have a good name on earth’? He asked
‘My father had had a good name’
He was asked to offer sacrifice
‘How do we recognize O
lomo a ji fooko sara?
Is the one we call Iroko tree
Even after felling the tree from her location 
And is not found there
They would still be using the spot as a reference point
They would say ‘beside the Ir
oko tree’
Ifá asks this person to offer sacrifice
Ir
oko performed the sacrifice
They were proclaiming his name everywhere
Life so pleased the Iroko tree

It is a heavy burden for the carrier of death’s basket 
Cast divination for Olomo a ji fooko sara
Olomo a ji fooko sara is the nickname of Iroko
Ifá, please let us make good names on earth

The elders say, "A kì í bí ọmọ ká má mọ ìrìn ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀. " One can't have a son and not know his ways. That is, when you raise a child you become familiar with his nature. You know his moods, preferences and habits.  And on a much deeper level, if you've done the esentaiye ceremony, you have a blueprint of via  child's life path.  It is the information presented during that ceremony that enables the parents to not only get to know their child through careful observation, but also to anticipate their child's journey based upon the context of his or her destiny.  

One of the most powerful outcomes of the esentaiye is the child's proper name. That is, òrìsà families who perform the esentaiye give their children names that reinforce the children's destinies. These names are actually invocations that call the child's essence into action. The name pronounced as a result of esentaiye defines the child's relationship to the spiritual entities most responsible for supporting his or her total success.  

By extension, it is the name established by the founding ancestor, who established your family lineage, that reinforces the family's collective destiny, as well as defines each member's relationship to the Ancestral Promise. So, in the same way that you are called to discover your true name, you are equally compelled to discover the identity of your family's founding ancestor. In so doing, you unlock the doors of Ancestral Promise, making a way for total wellness and prosperity.
