My ikin, Erigi Alo
Ifa, please let me have good Ori
And good legs to complement it

Osunsun-igbo-yikos'oye Oburokos'eje
Were the ones who divined for Sakoto
When he was going to Owa town
He was advised to sacrifice a pigeon, a sheep and three bean cakes
He heeded and the sacrificed
- Holy Odu OkanranMeji


The babalawos advised Sakoto to eat the bean cakes and not to give them to Esu. As he travelled, he met the first Esu but refused to give him the bean cakes. He met a second Esu, who stretched out his hands, asking for the bean cakes. But Sakoto ate another and kept walking. Sakoto met a third Esu and still refused to give him the bean cake. Enraged, Esu caused it to rain fiercely. The rain beat Sakoto mercilessly.  In Owa, the Oba had recently return to the rafters, that is the he returned to the ancestral realm. The bablawos had predicted that the new king would be a stranger, who would arrive drenched by the rain. And so, Sakoto became installed as the king of Owa. 

Listen attentively, Orunmila, the Baba Agbonniregun
Remember "tribulation accounts for fetching blue dye water"
My beloved, "suffering accounts for grinding soaked corn"
And after grinding the soaked corn without end... WELL!
For one to go to the forest and fetch leaves... WELL!
And to break into a howl, like a wood cutter... WELL!
And kola nuts are what responsible people sell... WELL!
Remember that these were the messages of Ifa for me, Osunfunleyo, your wife... WELL!!!
When I was to follow you on Ifa business to a far, far away place
As far as the distance between the sun and the earth... WELL!
They advised us to sacrifice... WELL!!!
Remember that we did comply... WELL!
And now, they have marked the hut, filled with money and chalk... WELL!
Remember, my love, they marked that of expensive beads with camwood... WELL!
And that of the latest fashions with charcoal... WELL!
My comrade in Ifa devotion
I have just told you the contents therein... WELL!

The pebble was broken but it did not bleed
That was the Ifa  cast for ọwọ
Who would give birth to five children and profit from the five of them
He was advised to sacrifice
He complied
The children of ọwọ (hand) will not die while ọwọ is still alive
And the children of ese (foot) will not die before the foot
One's character cannot be spoilt
In the presence of the owner of character

Ones' Ori is ones' charm for all successes
If I wake up… I grab my head…
Ones' Ori is ones' charm for all successes
