When Aaye, the wife of Olofin was going to sell corn meal in the market, Olofin removed his eye balls and put them at the bottom of the basket. Orunmila was told to appease his Ifa with a goat and corn meal. His servant got to the market and bought the corn meal together with the basket. When the wife got home; Olofin told her his eyes were inside the basket to watch whatever happened in the market as usual. The wife ran out to look for the buyer. After the appeasement, they all ate the corn meal in the house of Orunmila. Osun the wife packed all the leaves used to wrap the corn meal and put them inside the basket to dump. As she got to the dumping ground, pouring down the content of the basket, she found two eyes and took them home to give to Orunmila. Olofin had become blind and the wife had run away. Olofin sent for Orunmila for consultation. When Orunmila left, he met Aaye who was also going to Orunmila to consult Ifa. She explained what happened to Orunmila and they both went to Olofin and the latter was very happy for he has found both his eyes and his wife.

Ifa says, husbands should mettle in the business or works of their wives as well as refrain from asking their wives about their money and how they spend it. Generally speaking, people should mind their own business in order to prevent becoming blind.

Yun-unyun-un dudu a bidi siiriki
Cast Ifa for Olofin he-who-sells-commodities-with-eye
Whose wife, Aaye sold corn meals
He was told not to confide in any wife
Orunmila says one’s buttock supports one
I agree that one’s buttock supports one
The house wasp’s buttock supports the house wasp
Orunmila says one’s buttock supports one
I agree that one’s buttock supports one
The edible dung hill worm’s buttock supports it
Orunmila says one’s buttock supports one
I agree that one’s buttock supports one
The father’s buttock supports the child
Ifa revelation to Olofin
Ifa revelation to Orunmila
We have found “Eyes”
We have found “Aaye”
We have found all our lost items
