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
