Aboru aboye abosise Irentegbe Temple and aborisha family. Ẹkú ọjọ́ Òsé Ifá. Greetings to you all on the day of our Itadogun. The Holy Odú Ìrosùn-Ọwọnrin appeared for us today bringing a warning to protect our health. Not just our own but the health of all those in our households.


Verse 1:

The Awọs divined ifá for Apọ́n Ako who was crying for lack of a wife. He was advised to offer ebo and he complied.

The Awọs divined ifá for Àgàn Ifè. She was advised to offer ebo so that she would meet a good husband. She heard the ebo and she complied.

Apọ́n Ako took his sacrifice to the crossroads. When he placed his sacrifice at the intersection, he started to pray. " My creator, let me find a good wife to marry. Let a good wife meet me on the way. Let me have a restful mind." As he was praying, Àgàn Ifè brought her sacrifice to the same intersection. She placed her ebo materials and began to pray. "I beg you my creator, let me find a compassionate husband. A charitable and considerate husband. Such that my life would be better. The person for whom I would bear good children." That was how the two of them met. They both started praising their Babalawo and the Babalawo was praising ifá while Ifá was praising God.

The priest Ònà Gbóóró cast divination for the bachelor, Apọ́n Ako, and the bachelorette, Àgàn Ifè on the day they both were crying because of lack of a good spouse. They both got to the junction of three roads and coincidentally met with each other.

No other Ifá would prove as true as does Ìrosùn Elérìn.



Verse 2:

The Awọs divined ifá for Baba Agbele-foju-sin Ni who had 16 wives and many children. He also had many relatives and tenants. One day he consulted ifá over how he could protect them all for he could not follow them all wherever they went. The Awọs said he should offer ẹbo. Whenever any of them went out or a relative came visiting, he should say "I escort you through Ifa" to them and they would all be protected.

He did as he was advised and none encountered evil. He prayed for his loved ones saying;


Sin mí títí lawo sìn mi titi

Sin mí jinnà lawó sìn mí jìnnà

O ò leè sìn mi jìnnà kí ọ bá mi dé ilé


I cannot escort you. Ìfá will escort you till we meet again.


Verse 3:

Orunmila cast divinations for six Kings, all of whom consulted ifá to know if their reign could be long and peaceful. Orunmila said they would have a long reign if they could befriend the women in the palace and not neglect them. They should treat them as their own wives and offer ẹbo. Each King rejected the advice as the women were older. Each King died before reaching one year on the throne.

The kingmakers then consulted ifá and were advised they should enthrone a youth. The next person who was supposed to become king said they should inquire over his son, Aforolagba. Ifa picked him. He was young but knew ifa like an elder.

Aforolagba consulted ifá to know how he would live long on the throne. Orunmila advised him to sacrifice a gourd of honey and treat the women of the palace as his wives. He complied. Orunmila told him to call the leader of these women at night and ask her how the previous Kings lived long and why the last six did not. He did so and when he asked her the question. Instead of replying, she removed her clothes and Aforolagba did the same. Aforolagba made love to her.

The woman then replied that he would live long and told him to go to the next woman. He complied and it was the same. After making love to the second woman, she advised him to go to see the third. He made love to her as well.

The next day, he met all three in their leader's house. He greeted them and asked how he could live long on the throne. They told him the secret. The king must bathe with a certain herb while in the sanctuary before his enthronement. Inside the pot of herbs, are also venomous snakes and harmful objects. The king would have to use his hands to spoon the herbs onto his body. This was how the previous six kings encountered their deaths. However, because the king had accepted them and loved them, they promised to help him. In his presence, they sealed the reptile to the bottom of the pot and the herbs were on top. They told him to dip his hands inside and he did so and his hands touched only the herbs. They also told him that he should consult with them before making any judgment or pronouncement so that he would not make any mistakes due to his youthful age. He agreed with them. He was enthroned and he lived long.

Aboru aboye abosise Irentegbe Temple and aborisha family. Àlàáfíà, greetings to you all on the day of our Itadogun. Today we are blessed with the appearance of the holy Odú Òtúrá Òsá. It comes to us bringing iré.



Verse 1:


The Àwọ cast ifá for Ojugbé when he wanted to cultivate a farm by the roadside. He consulted ifá to know if his farm would be profitable. He was advised to offer ẹbo. When he made the sacrifices, He was advised to always be helpful to passers by. Ojugbé complied. Whenever the servants of Oriṣa nla would pass the roadside Farm, Ojugbé would offer them water and sometimes even yams to eat. Ojugbé was a neighbor and friend to the tortoise who would often laugh at him for giving away free food.


Later, the attendants of Òrìṣà nla told their benefactor of the generosity that they had been shown. Òrìṣà nla wanted to send a blessing to Ojugbé. He called for his servant with a hunchback. He opened his hunch and filled it with valuables and told him that he should give it to the one who gives them food. When the servants reached the roadside farm, as usual, Ojugbé offered them food and water. After they were done eating, the hunchback asked for a knife or an ax. Ojugbé Gave him both from his sacrificial materials. The hunchback then told him to use the knife to open his hunch. Ojugbé refused, saying that he could not commit murder. The hunchback then opened his hunch a small way and money began to flow from it. Ojugbé then helped him to open it the rest of the way and retrieved the mass of wealth had been bestowed upon him from Òrìṣà nla.


The tortoise later asked him how he had gotten his money and Ojugbé simply replied that it was the will of God and that whatever he had was the tortoises as well.


Despite his generosity, the tortoise was still not satisfied. He continued to pester Ojugbé until he shared the source of his wealth.


The next day, the tortoise attacked the hunchback and demanded that he open his hunch and give him the valuables inside. When the hunchback told him that there was nothing inside, the tortoise took an ax and began to cut away at the hunchback, eventually killing him. When saw what he had done, he drug the body onto Ojugbé's farm and immediately went to tell Oriṣa nla that Ojugbé had killed his servant. The order was given to arrest Ojugbé. When Ojugbé Heard what had happened and saw the corpse, he became sad. He said that he was too grateful to the hunchback to do evil to him. Òrìṣà nla then gave Ojugbé a horse, fine robes and money. He had concluded that Ojugbé was a good man and that he was not guilty of killing the hunchback. He knew that the report was the product of envy.


Ojugbé thus returned home singing that Òrìṣà nla had forgiven and rewarded him. When the tortoise heard the song, he went to the King and confessed that it was he who had killed hunchback. Òrìṣà nla then ordered that the tortoise be arrested and beheaded on the spot.




Verse 2:


The Babalawo of the hen cast divination for the hen when she was crying and because of children. He also cast divination for the eagle when she was also crying because of children. They both went together to consult ifá. "Can we both have children?" They asked. Orunmila Said that they both would have children. He advised them to offer 10 rats each and ten thousand cowries each.


Later, after returning to their homes. The hen had only found two rats. She kept the two. When the eagle returned from her escapade, she saw that she had captured eight. She began thinking "today is the deadline. The Àwọ said to bring the rats today but I was only able to get two." She saw that the eagle had returned with eight and had gone out once again to search for the other two. She was sure that she would find them and likely would return with even more than two. The hen then went to where the eagle kept her eight and took them to add to hers. She immediately went to Orúnmìlà to complete her ebo. Orúnmìlà accepted them and blessed the hen, telling her that she would have children in abundance. May they be more than 10 in number.


The eagle returned home to see that rats that she had gathered were gone. She had found the remaining two but only had those two now. Because it was the deadline, she took the two she had to Orúnmìlà. Orúnmìlà told her that the hen had come earlier and completed her sacrifice with all 10. She knew that the hen only had two at the start of the day and concluded that she must have stolen her eight. Orúnmìlà accepted the rats and blessed the eagle to have children. From then onward, she started to hatch two eggs. The hen however, would hatch 10 or even more, but, if she was not careful, out of the 10 hatched by the hen, hardly one would survive out of the batch. It is Èṣù that taught the eagle "Out of the children hatched by the hen, you should pick some as food for yourself, since she is the one that played foul." Now, once the eagle flies over an area where a hen is raising her chicks, she would start to crow. "I did not perform the sacrifice." The eagle would come in a fast glide and pick up one of the chicks. The two hatched by the eagle, the first day are the ones troubling the hen till date.


It was exactly as the Babalawo had said.


It is only the eagle that heard about the sacrifice and performed it with truth. The hen also performed the sacrifice but she did it deceitfully. The hen is the one that is not nice or humane. She confesses not to have performed the sacrifice.
