At home I sat
When all blessings came trooping in my direction
I sat, without attempting to stand up
I saw prosperity moving towards me
These were Ifa's declarations to Odi
When he was about to take a spiritual mission to Oko
He was asked to offer sacrifice
And advised not to go
He complied
He sits and rests his back against the Akuko tree

Wealth came rushing to me
Like a swarm! 
All blessings come rushing to me
Like a swarm!
- Holy Odu OdiMeji

The clumsy trekking of the Elephant
And the powerful gait of the buffalo
They were the ones who cast Ifa for Orunmila
When going to spread his protective umbrella over the whole world
He was advised to offer ebo
And he complied
Please Orunmila, come to our rescue
You are the only one who has the capacity to rescue and who shall surely rescue us
We now have Olajagbalu leaves in our possession
Gradually, Ifa shall take over the whole world from them.
- Holy Odu IworiMeji

Elbows cannot be used to touch the chest
Odi, the Ifa priest of Agbaka
Divined for Baba yeku yeku oke Apa, 
Elder of Oke Apa, who always protected his people against death
Who was also known as Oyeku
Who is he that averts death from our heads?
Ejioye averts death from our heads
- Holy OyekuMeji

"Do your work"
"I am not working"
This was the Ifa cast for the lazy person
He who sleeps until the sun is overhead
He who relies on that which is possessed through inheritance
exposes himself to suffering
If we do not toil and sweat profusely today
We cannot become wealthy tomorrow
"March through the mud"
"I cannot march through the mud"
"If we do not march through the mud
Our mouths cannot eat good food"
These were the declarations of Ifa to the lazy person
He who possesses strong limbs but refuses to work
He who chooses to be idle in the morning
He is only resting for suffering in the evening
Only toiling can support one
Idleness cannot bring dividend
Whoever refuses to work
Such a person does not deserve to eat
If a lazy person is hungry, please let him die
Dead or alive, a lazy person is a useless person
- Holy Odu EjiOgbe
