translation

let my sacrifice be accepted

ela let my ritual goes to the heaven above

the dog that refuses to heed the spiritual advise


become Elegbara's dog( the dog of ESU)

the fat and big ram that I warned which remained adamant and stubborn

become an ESU's ram

the person who refuses to heed the spiritual counsel

should be left to his or her foolishness

he or she will suffer the consequence of his or her action and bring woos to his life and
destruction to the destiny of his or her generation

this divine IFA oracle for Ogun the god of iron

and open Ifa divination to other great divinities in the cosmos

while he and other divinities were about to go to the market of tolerance

they were advised that the market they intend to go

they should keep two thousand cowries -- the traditional money

Ogun the god of Iron

the great fighter in battle

the great chief of ejemu oluwonran

a powerful man of old

with a glitteringly sharpened sword

that baffles the old man

believing , no creatures either seen or unseen , either human or ghost has the capacities to
disturb him at the entrance gate of heaven or earth , not to talk of the ordinary gate of the
earthily market

Ogun decided not to keep any money. On the day of the market , Ogun the god of Iron prepared
and went with other divinities to the market .

On reaching the gate , they met a dog , who was the chief guard of the gate of the market

The dog as a guard knew Ogun very well . He knew Ogun as the god of iron and also knew the
evil attitude and temperament of Ogun as a creature without tolerance . The dog then asked
Ogun the two thousand cowries—(olden days source of exchange—because cowries served as
money then) as the entrance fees for the market . Ogun responded that the dog should know he is
not human , but divinities and he should not be disturbed by any man or other creature on his way
to the market of tolerance .

The dog advised Ogun to comply with the rules and regulation , that anyone who intend to go into
the market must pay the entrance fees and that Ogun should not be furious .

The dog advised Ogun , but the later did not heed to the advised of the later . He Ogun , had
decided to force his way into the market without paying the amount . Ogun told the chief guard
( in the person of dog) to quit the entrance to avoid his fury.

in the process , a fight and strife ensued , Ogun beheaded the dog, not knowing that there were
more dogs hiding mysteriously to fight him afterward. After the beheading of the guard , that is
the main dog, two more dogs appeared, and attacked OGUN . Ogun killed the two . As he was
killing them , more dogs appeared, they torn the cloth of Ogun and also bite him . Ogun killed
more dogs than ever seen , but this killing did not impede the appearance of more dogs and they
continued to find their way to meet and attack Ogun , until Ogun ran to the nearby bush to cover
himself with palm frond, they had torn his cloth ( they had uncovered him ) and bit Ogun . That
was how Ogun covered his Nudity through palm frond or palm leave from the nearest palm tree

By the time Ogun came back with the intention of going into market to carry out his commercial
activities , the market had closed, Ogun found none in the market , Ogun lost out in the race of
physical success , and human progress . Because of intolerance , Ogun the most valiant and bravest
divinities forfeited the gain of the market and the reward of commercial activities

intolerance made Ogun to lose his cloth , honor and dignity , however he was forced to be using
palm frond till today , according to the popular song ,

what is the cloth of Ogun , ---mariwo( palm frond

what is the cloth of Ogun ---mariwo is the cloth , mariwo is indeed the cloth

Ogun become a cloth less divinity because of intolerance

Prayer – may GOD covers us with the cloth of honor , dignity and tolerance in our lives time , all
must be well with us as long as there is an appearance of the sun --ase

IFA under this odu teaches us to ensure tolerance to attract the bundle of blessing of harmony ,
victory , fortune , and success in the physical state of existence, while in the spiritual realm we will
also bless with abundant success. We should not because of intolerance become a worthless ,
undignified and dishonored and cloth-less being . We must learn to tolerate others , tolerates our
wife , our husband , our family , and our friends to gain both the physical state and the spiritual
state . IFA says the market place is the physical state of existence and physical state is journey
which must be seen as a rough road to final illumination, and those who want to live well must try
to inculcate the habit of tolerance into his own life . Since , journey involve travelling with many of
whom you may not like or real like depending on your tolerance to the situation at hand. Be
tolerance to be able to go through your journey of life in peace and to be able to console and help
people in your journey of life .

Those who become the leaders has the great attributes of tolerance . IFA teaches us to have
tolerance to build up a good family and build a good relationship either in our business life and in
our daily activities.

those who possesses tolerance overcome losses, disgrace , destruction , dishonor , lawsuit , and
untimely death- these are the attributes of AJOGUN ORUN , the punitive knight of heavenly doom.

Orunmila himself has this great attributes , that is the main reason he was labelled as the father
of wisdom and knowledge , because nothing disturb his peace of mind , and nothing cause him to
anger against anything in creation

Tolerance is one of the greatest sacrifice and rituals we should do to live well with our husbands ,
or our wives, our partner , our children , our family , our relations, our friend , within a house , a
town , a village , a city , a country and in the world . Through tolerance we cooperate and manage
our wives, and through tolerance we take control of our lives.

IFA let it be to your greatest interest , counsel and support to endow me with the spirit of
tolerance so that I may live a life of a king in the physical state of existence

Ifa let me be blessed with tolerance to overcome untimely death , sickness , loss, destruction , and
other symptoms of the punitive knight of heavenly doom

ase

the Odu speaks of peace of mind , harmony of purpose and serenity of decision will attract
fortunes , long life ,sound , and good healthy state, perfect and reliable partner and victory over
those who hate us without cause. IFA says , success in any level of life is attainable through
peaceful state of mind . No man ever attain or attract success without being submissive to the
control of infinite being called OLODUMARE and His numerous divinities . The perfect
understanding of this system of believing in the force of GOD and his numerous divinities and the
method of viewing the world as a place of soul development put us on the gate of success ,
victory , and progress . The position whereby a good soul receive a profound positive vibration
from the father of light and his numerous divinities lead us to the entrance of internal bliss. Life
according to Ifa , can be understood from proper understanding and knowledge of the vibration
that goes around our body mechanism , our soul force and our spirit to receive a spiritual signal
from higher vibration which is the foundation of connecting GOD –OLODUMARE – in his own
infinite state . IFA then advises us to be peaceful so as to have a proper knowledge , and full
understanding of Odu and the knowledge of invisible energy working in the cosmos. To be
peaceful means to overcome emotional , mental ,physical and spiritual confusion . When there
is confusion , success, happiness and peace cannot be sustained . IFA says , fortune , success ,
progress , spiritual power , good life , physical strength , emotional equilibrium are sustained
under a good and peaceful state of mind . Moreover , understanding of Odu , and living a
discipline life and learning of IFA and its stories , verses as well as full comprehension are
sustained, attained and fully injected into our daily activities, our mental state , subconscious level ,
spiritual realm and our divine indwelling power will transform us to real partner to divine mercy
and a friend to spiritual power. IFA then advises us to always pray for peace in our waking life ,
propitiate our ORI periodically , and maintain calmness under extreme tension and confusion to
attain peace , not only with our indwelling forces but in the receiving of spiritual communication
from OLODUMARE working through his great messenger –ORUNMILA and also to have the
capacity to interpret our ifa divination or analyze properly the meaning of IFA divination during
IFA session, all these are tantamount to sound and peaceful mental state .

Translation of verse two under oturagbe

Ifa let my sacrifice be accepted

Ela let my ritual goes up to the heaven above

It is an experienced lizard that runs on a mud house without problem

It is an old lizard that run faster on the mountain

this divine ifa oracle for a peaceful , meek and gentle character, a man , whose attribute resemble
the domestic pigeon ( dove)

The one , the evil men of the world constantly torment with provocation

They constantly torment him with evil vibration

So that they create a greater confusion In his life

And disenable him to focus on his path of success and effect positive change in the life others

They create chaos his life so that he will not have peace of mind to cater for his children , wife ,
family , relations, well-wishers and to focus on all his undertakings in the physical state of
existence

According to the Story

There was a man in the city of IKOLE AYE , who was remarkable for his truthfulness , honesty , and
peaceful mind . He was likened to a dove or domestic pigeon because whatever he determined to
do always come into manifestation and fruitful . His faith and reliance on OLODUMARE for
wisdom , power , direction , and love was so profound and pronounced that people started to
jealous and envy his achievement . The witches and the wizards , the evil people of the world and
those who hate people without cause did not feel comfortable with the presence and the
achievement of this peaceful and honest man .

They started to provoke him , they torment him ,wage both spiritual , emotional and mental war
against him . They started to abuse him verbally , emotionally and spiritually . They were out to
frustrate him and destroy his good plan so that he would lose his concentration , peace of mind
and organized steps to fulfill his destiny .

They failed to realize that his peaceful and his honesty have created a sound connecting spiritual
link between his creator and his numerous divinities. The enemies failed to realize that his wisdom
intelligent and his understanding are the foundation of his peaceful , coordinated life with
successful undertakings
Without much effort , without wasting time , the peaceful and honest man , decided to take its
case to OLODUMARE , by consulting IFA divination so as to know the mind and the message of
OLODUMARE and to inquire from IFA what steps to take to overcome the attack of the witches ,
wizard and the enemies as well of ajogun orun( punitive knight of heavenly doom) – These forces
in the unseen , energies in the mysterious and spiritual world and the negative power in the
physical state of existence can create a lot of confusion , pandemonium and chaos which will
later translate into the physical manifestation of fight , provocation and verbal assault between
two people whom are once in love , or two people who are very close or among people who
believe in the progress and success of the family . IFA then advised him to offer sacrifice to ESU
and ritual to our ladies of nightly rites. He was also advised to light up a clay pot of lamp both at
the front entrance of his house to prevent evil dominion of the night entering the house from the
front and the other light of the clay pot lamp to be placed at the back entrance , and if he has
more than two entrances , he should light the lamp at these various entrance to prevent the
negative energy or build up that intend to enter through these various point of entrance into his
house . IFA says with all these spiritual steps, evil will go back to the evil doers , while misfortune
will turn back to meet the evil ones. The curse and the thought of the evil ( are like rain) that will
fall and fall on the head of the evil one . On hearing the counsel of the divinity , the peaceful, and
honest man heeded to the counsel of IFA , he performed all the sacrifice , appease to Ori , give
obeisance to the ladies of nightly right , perform rituals to Esu , light the clay lamp at all the
entrances of the house to prevent further evil and to deter provocation and misfortune . He
offered great sacrifice with large quantities of kola-nuts , bitter kola, alligator pepper , he goat ,
snails, palm oil , fish rats , meat parts , water , gin , honey , and money . The ritual and the
sacrifice of the peaceful and the honesty man were accepted and went up to the abode of
OLODUMARE . He started to dance , extremely happy , sing a song of honor and glory to
OLODMARE in his house , saying

Tradition is the king of rituals

Our ladies of the nightly rites are the king of tradition

Come down all powerful forces and the universal energies to accept our wishes and tradition

Repeated ,

Tradition is the leader of all rituals

Ladies of the nightly rites are the leader of tradition

All power , mysterious forces and unseen positive energy must come together to accept our
rituals and sacrifices

All the member of his house and family joined him to sing the mysterious songs , they were filled
with joy , happiness and bliss.
After the success of the sacrifices , rituals and steps , Oninure wanted to repeat the same sacrifice
immediately , but he was advised that no one offers the same sacrifice at the same time , or the
same period , he only needs to give obeisance and thank to his IFA priest while IFA priest will give
obeisance to IFA divinity –the god of wisdom , and in return Orunmila bara Agbonniregun will give
obeisance to OLODUMARE the infinite energy that radiates and sustain all lives.

Oninure , in his happy mood , says

Ifa let my sacrifice be accepted

Ela , let my rituals goes to the heaven above

The old lizard plays and runs on the top mud house

The experienced lizard runs faster on the mountain top

This divine ifa oracle for a peaceful quiet and diligent man like domestic pigeon

While the witches and the wizard intend to plant the seed of disharmony and discord and
provocation , jealous and envy in his house

Furthermore , the punitive knight of heavenly doom has planted the seed of betrayal , lawsuit , loss
and destruction ,sickness and death and other form of misfortune in his work and household

He was advised to be calm , and take up sacrifice as a way forward

He heard about sacrifice , he offered sacrifice

He heard about rituals to ESU , he offered the ritual immediately

He heard about propitiation of ORI , he quickly performed it

He heard about special spiritual steps to appease to the lady of nightly right

He did the spiritual steps without delay

They advised him to light up the lamp of clay at the various entrances of his house , he did that
without hesitation

The light of the lamps of the clay were to deter the evil power of the night to come near his
domain and to deter or create evil build up and evil manipulation within his family

He performed all the sacrifice without missing any of the spiritual steps to prevent evil in his life ,
in the lives of his family and in his house

Oninure says ‘’Oh IFA , you see my mind and also the mind of those who are against me without
any cause
Since I do not have grudges and evil mind against anyone

I do not soil , spoil and disturb the sacrifices and the good work of others

I do not ever think evil of those who has succeeded to fail both in spiritual realm and in the
physical state of existence

I always looking for a way to help others and to make other happy

Let it be to your own support to vindicate me from the evil of the wicked men and women and
from the negative vibration of the universe

Oh , Yee mother earth, you know the evil one and the wicked men hidden under the umbrella of
light in the universe

You , the mysterious entity and divinity that uses shadowy hoes to cover up the soul of the wicked

You , who have infinite hole to consume all human in the state of life

You , that swallow the soul of men without problem

Swallow all the evil men before reaching their appointed time

Grant long life and abundant peace to those who trend the path of wisdom

Because your mystical name is ATEPE , that is the act of walking on you for long

Give me grace and support , peace of mind , sound health , and wisdom to walk on you for long
and my generation yet unborn , let me live long in the physical state of existence

Ifa turns all misfortune into fortune

Oh GOD be with me throughout my life time and my beloved one

GOD send your divinities to illuminate ad radiate abundant light to the soul and lives of those who
remain faithful with you

All is well

Alafia

Ifa advises us to be open minded so to as to be able to defeat those who are walking secretly to
destroy our good plans. A spiritual step will attract victory and success . Infant, Ifa views this
explanation as part of tolerance so that our secret enemies will be defeated with the secret power
of OLODUMARE working through his IRUNMOLES( divinities). According to IFA verse three under

Translation of verse three under oturagbe

Ifa let my sacrifice be accepted

Ela let my ritual goes up to the heaven above

The ocean will not be so peaceful

With an incessant and ceaseless turbulence

The cloudy sky of the heaven

Never grow a weed or plant

The path to the forest of destiny

Is not easy path to trend for the fool

This divine ifa oracle for IFATOKI

The child of olokun seni ade

When the witches and the wizards joined hand and forces together

They are secretly working against the life of IFATOKI

To destroy all his undertakings

While the punitive knight of heavenly doom secretly planned to destroy his fortune and that his
successful life will not last more than a generation or till old age
IFATOKI responded that , if they were indeed want to deal ruthlessly with him and his household ,
and they wanted to turn his fortune into misfortune

Ifa says , goodness and fortune shall be his lot ,

Ifa says, fortune shall revolve round the life of Ifatoki like water surrounding a land

Ifatoki did not waste any time , he quickly went to the house of his ifa priest to consult ifa
divination to know the mind of OLODUMARE as while there were chaos , tumult and hubbub in
his life and confusion in his family

Ifa directed ifatoki through his priest to offer sacrifice of two rats , two fish , two big goat.

Ifatoki quickly gathered all the materials

They offered sacrifice to the ladies of nightly rites

They propitiate the head of Ifatoki

They offered sacrifice to the ancestral deity

And a ritual to the mother earth

The sacrifice were accepted and fulfilled

The sacrifice went to the heaven above

All divinities were happy to receive all the spiritual step of Ifatoki

Ifatoki began to sing a song of wisdom that

I have offered sacrifices and the sacrifice were accepted ------ajankoro dugbe dugbe

I have offered sacrifice and the sacrifice were accepted and fulfilled --- ajankoro dugbe dugbe

Take away death , take away sickness ---ajankoro dugbe dugbe

We have offered sacrifice and our sacrifice were accepted ---ajankoro dugbe dugbe

That was how IFATOKI , used peace and wisdom to rectify misfortune and restore affluence which
might have consumed IFATOKI and his household. IFATOKI through his tolerance and patience seek
spiritual solution to his problem and overcome the power of the enemies and the negative
vibration of the witches , the wizard , and the punitive knight of heavenly doom

Ifatoki later decided to re-do the sacrifice which according to the rule of ifa , concerning rituals,
and sacrifices, ‘’ no one offer the same sacrifice immediately after the first sacrifice , but one
should not hesitate to give obeisance to his ifa priest , while ifa priest will give obeisance to ifa
oracle , and the oracle will give maximum obeisance to OLOUMARE the infinite energy directing all
cosmic forces in the universe

Ifatoki then says , do you see how my ifa priest chant the verse of the ifa , his family responded ,
how ,

Ifatoki then says ,

Let my sacrifice be accepted oh IFA

Let my ritual goes to the heaven above oh ELA IWORI

The ocean will not be so calm to stop her incessant splash and roar

While the sky will not be so cloudy to bring forth any plant

This divine ifa oracle for IFATOKI

The child of olokun seni ade

When the witches and the wizard gathered together to destroy the good work of ifatoki in secret

While the punitive knight of heavenly doom intended to spoil and smear all the fortune of Ifatoki

IFATOKI decided and secretly went to the house of IFA priest

The priest advised IFATOKI to be calm and patience

And take up sacrifice as a way forward

Ifatoki performed the necessary rituals

The sacrifices were accepted and fulfilled

Ifatoki indeed sang a song of wisdom

Saying

We offered sacrifice and our sacrifice were accepted ----ajankoro dugbe dugbe

We offered sacrifices and the sacrifices were accepted ---ajankoro dugbe dugbe

Take away death and take away sickness ---ajankoro dugbe dugbe

We offered sacrifice and our sacrifice were accepted ---ajankoro dugbe dugbe
Myth

Ifa tells us that there was a man whose name was called IFATOKI . IFA told us that this man knew
how to do good, act good and speak good both in private life and in his daily steps and he was
always and wanted to help people who were in need . IFA says , IFATOKI helped both the old and
the young.

IFATOKI did not realize that all his good works and good steps did not go well with the witches , the
wizard , the punitive knight of heavenly doom and those who hated him without cause. These
three powerful negative entities went secretly to the house of IFATOKI to inflict a heavy burden of
losses, sickness, destruction , lawsuit , sorrow , agony , lack of peace of mind , and death .

IFATOKI did not know that the punitive knight of heavenly doom , the witches and the wizard were
the causes of his predicaments and woos. He did not realize that they had gone so far to tear apart
and destroy the very fabric of the peaceful , harmonious and serene atmosphere he had labored
for , and the good family setting he had build.

Ifatoki in his spiritual wisdom went secretly to the house of ifa priest to know the cause and the
foundation of his problem. The priest quickly consulted oracle un-behalf of ifatoki , what come out
of the divination was Oturagbe –‘’ that is, otura lifts him up , otura gives him victory , that is
fortune should smile on him again, because , a man of tolerance , patience with wisdom shall
maintain peace in the face of obstacles’’

Ifa priest directed him to get a rat , a fish and a goat , all but in double, so that he would use them
to appease to the ladies of the nightly rites and to the punitive knight o heavenly doom . ifa says
the sacrifice would stop the spread of evil , misfortune and negative vibration of sadness, sorrow ,
destruction , doubt , lawsuit , dieases and death

While the rituals would stop evil from entering his house from the back door or from the back
entrance

Ifatoki did all the sacrifices as directed by IFA priest . IFATOKI light the clay candle and placed it at
the back entrance of his house , whenever evil wanted to attack from the back door , and see the
light , they would take to their heel and ran away from the surrounding and the environment of
IFATOKI . He also propitiate his head and offer sacrifice to his destiny . His spiritual head supported
him in a spectacular form and fought all the battle on his be-half . Ifa divinity attracted wealth ,
fortune and lifted him up with sound positive vibration , and the life of Ifatoki witness a huge
fortune greater than before

Ifatoki started to dance , sing and fill with joy .

Ifa says anyone with this vibration should be calm , have tolerance and pray for peace , he should
have obi , orogbo , atare rat , fish , goat , in double , one part to be used to offer sacrifice at the
early hour of the day against ajogun orun (punitive knight of heavenly doom) and the other
materials must be used to offer rituals at the dead of the night to prevent a situation whereby the
witches and the wizards will not make unexpected attack through the back door against such
individual’s life

He needs to offer sacrifice of peace and harmony so that evil will revert and turn into fortune , that
is the purpose of this odu –otura-ogbe

Ifa says that the odu speaks of the seed of harmony , being sowed in one’s life and the fruits of
peace being planted in one’s family , the tuber of serenity cultivated in the life of our beloved ones

things , the ancient of days , the leader of all things created , manifested or un-manifested in
creation , the oldest one who never change but living in his own majesty and glory , the ancient of
days

Ajalolerun then averred that , do you know how my ifa priest recited IFA verse under oturagbe

breakthrough

Ase.

Ifa says that all men should seek the wisdom of GOD and his numerous divinities. IFA says , GOD
knows the heart of all men . Since He is the creator , no way , his creatures can hide from HIM. IFA
says many people speak of GOD and his numerous divinities, they claim to know His way and his
messengers and love IFA and OLODUMARE but they do inculcate his teaching into their lives. IFA
says , knowing odu means, we intend to know the mind of GOD and the future of the people and
necessary step to take to rectify any error affecting their destiny with sound spiritual state to
promote victory , success and fortune, but knowing GOD and understand his way is the wisdom IFA
teaches us to imbibe . Under this odu , it teaches us and encourages us to seek with our heart ,
learning , initiations , devotion, prayer and other spiritual steps that call for absolute mercy and
blessing of OLODDUMARE and the support of his divinities in all our activities and earthly
endeavor

IFA reiterates the learning of ODU and imbibe its principles and philosophy in our lives to prevent a
situation whereby negative forces of punitive knight of heavenly doom , (AJOGUN ORUN) , witches
,wizards, and other contrary energy

IFA says ,wisdom , knowledge , learning and understanding of GOD and his divinities should be our
foundation . IFA says , no one could know the path of GOD and his numerous divinities without
knowing his way , having a concrete knowledge of his power , and divine love and his creatures

Translation of verse five under otura gbe

Ifa let my sacrifice be accepted

Ela let my ritual goes to the heaven above

Solid as the roof , safe as the roof

The future is certain , secure , with pure wisdom , understanding and knowledge of GOD

This divine IFA oracle for Orunmila , the partner in the journey of wisdom , understanding and
knowledge

When he was going to the earth plain of existence from the spiritual realm

Orunmila said , I am going to the physical state of existence to teach the men of the world the
wisdom , knowledge and the understanding of IFA and the infinite power of the ancient one
called OLODUMARE

Orunmila continued that ‘’whoever has the wisdom of GOD will surely know the mind of GOD

No one has a pure understanding of GOD and continue doing evil and carrying out evil in his
mind , because evil in the heart , soul , mind and his action have no part in realm of divinity and
way in the existence of divine knowledge

Because all the creatures of GOD are his work , wisdom , and his pure understanding . You find the
glory and power of GOD on all creatures

Whoever seek and walk on the path of GOD to see his glory , and whoever have absolute
knowledge of GOD and his creature has discovered the path of wisdom , success and happiness
which is the foundation of eternal bliss

Ifa and odu are the light , and the path to GOD ‘s way and a road to reach the abode of
OLODUMARE

Ifa is the light for all human and is the path to all creatures in creation .
IFA let it be to your pleasure to light my heart with your wisdom , light my household , light my
destiny

Ifa you should actually sees my heart , soul , mind , since you see the mind of GOD , you can easily
see the mind of men and their various challenges

Please train my mind to always do good act good , and speak good till the earthly life and
journey .

God knows all his individual creatures in creation and He knows their shortcoming and weakness

Oh GOD , know me well , direct my ways , my steps , because , I have learn your wisdom ,
knowledge and understanding with my loved ones and my family

Let me overcome all human temptation obstacles and attack of the punitive knight of heavenly
doom

Ase

IFA says , people may not valued your work , your wisdom , your knowledge and your
understanding but never relent in sharing the good knowledge of ifa and the odu to others in
creation. If people fail to acknowledge your wisdom , the infinite vibration will work through his
numerous divinities like Alafere, dada ,and sango , and oya to establish his wisdom and connect
others of various generation together in the spirit of wisdom , like the waves that is going on now
in the world to you .

Many nations , tribes, people from different part of the world are seeking for the wisdom of IFA
and the knowledge of OLODUMARE , to shape their lives and better improve their spiritual
condition.

IFA says , a lot more will still seek the wisdom , and understand OLODUMARE through the teaching
of ODU and elevates their life and recognize that human life is spiritual continuum and the atom of
every life is the spirit it possesses , and spirituality is the foundation of all thing ever created and
to understand and really conceptualize spirituality , we need IFA , ODU and the knowledge of GOD.

IFA says , the initiated ,the disciples , the faithful and learned and the knower of IFA and
OLODUMARE should appreciate the blessing given to them by OLODUMARE . The odu teaches us
to appreciate the wisdom , knowledge and understanding of IFA and put all his teaching into daily
use and practice every IFA steps to germinate a new seed and a new fruit both in our life , soul
and spirit and the life of others around us

Ifa says , the wisdom of GOD and the knowledge of divinities are the same , but the method and
means of understanding the wisdom and the knowledge can be slightly different but the purpose
are the same .according to IFA sayings , ‘’AIGBOFA LAN WOKE , IFA KAN KO SI NI PARA’’ translated ,
‘’if you indeed know and have a full understanding of IFA , you will not be perambulate arund or
looking up into the sky , for the meaning . IFA is a way of life , a discipline , a plant and fruit of
wisdom in the heart of men that must be sowed and planted in the physical world of existence
and only the initiate , the faithful , the wise the disciple can manifest its principles and
philosophy’’

IFA says , men in their finite wisdom and limited understanding treat themselves and people of
different races , color , religion , size , sex and races differently. They limit their wisdom to their
own races and color but when it comes to the drinking of water they fail to realize that water in
all nations are the same , the blood that flows in their vein are the same , the air they breath in
and out are the same , the sky over their head , while the cloud in the sky cover the entire space
which spread from nations and nation and the atoms of their lives are the same and they fail to
realize that the atoms that give life to them are the power and the infinite energy of GOD that
speak of their existence both at the physical level , and spiritual level . that is the universal identity
card and number of all human both here and here-after. Men fail to realize sun shines on them ,
their plant , and their animals , and other natural objects , like mountain , water , forest ,
vegetation and hills without knowing that the universal forces are the same manifesting in colors ,
sex , natural characteristics and diverse land scape. Oturagbe teaches us that to have a pure
harmony with these natural and beautiful objects in the world and be harmonious with various
people , races and sex , live in peace and serenity , to attract the blessing of GOD , you must
possess the knowledge of IFA .

IFA under Oturagbe tells us that we should not discriminate and segregate men either by their
color , stature , size, races and location . Men should not demarcate the territory or discriminate
just because you do not live near one another. IFA says , we should not demarcate the territory of
wisdom like the way men divide and demarcate the land they possess , or the land they greedily
acquired as water spread across the entire earth plain so aslo the wisdom of IFA spread across the
universe only the wise search for it , hence those who possess and have the knowledge must be
spread across the entire universe just as man buy a piece of land , resell it or repossess it after a
long period of time likewise IFA wisdom must be sought for , repossess , imbibed and radiate our
light like sun in the sky . Never discriminate or demarcate the wisdom of the white and the
understanding of the black , or other colored people in the universe , we can gain enormously from
each other , IFA is just like a cloud in the sky which can not be demarcate and divided . GOD is
universal , IFA is ubiquitous , according to IFA’’ IRO NI WO PA , IFA KO LE PARE LAYE , NITORI AGBE
KALE LORI OGBON , IMO ATI OYE OLODUMARE NI , IFA KO LE PARE LORI ILE-EDE AYE’’ TRANSLATED
‘’ IFA CANNOT BE ERAZED FROM THE WORLD , IT IS A LIE , BECAUSE , IT IS ESTABLISHED ON THE
WISDOM , KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF GOD’’ . OTURA OGBE PREDICTS THE
CONTINUITY AND THE SPREAD OF IFA TO ALL RACES AND ALL NATIONS

The wisdom of IFA and the understanding of Odu teaches us not to demarcate and discriminate IFA
wisdom from other and we should not limit our knowledge of IFA to what we see, know and feel
in our locality . IFA transcends culture , race and tradition , it is a tradition of divine order that
must be spread across the world like a cloud of the sky which cannot be demarcated or
segregated.

Ifa let my sacrifice be accepted

Ela let my rituals go up to the heaven above

The ocean splashes and noisy but unique and

Ocean is universal

The cloudy sky will not grow weed

The path of wisdom is not rosy and easy

This divine ifa oracle for a wise man

Who buy a piece of land and inherit land

He decides to demarcate the land from his neighbor to know his boundary

If the wise of the world could demarcate their land, can they use the wisdom to demarcate the
cloud of the sky

Lo ! the sky cannot be divided like the way they divide the land space .

The wisdom of GOD cannot be demarcated

People and other creatures in creation can be segregated , demarcated and divided

Both manifested and un-manifested can be segregated

While the spirit , soul , mind of the wise men who had the heart of IFA ( IFA AYA) cannot be divided

These ( soul , and spirit) are of GOD , they cannot be segregated and divided within the wisdom of
GOD

All those who look up into the sky , they are looking up to GOD for blessing , wisdom ,
consciousness

They look up to the heaven for miracles , blessings and wonders wherever they found themselves

The wisdom of GOD is not limited to any nation , sex , color or region

Oh! Yee men of the world avoid demarcation , segregation , and division , stop evil thought among
yourself

Whoever sow the seed of discord , disharmony ,shall reap the same fruit

IFA you actually sees my heart

While the mother earth knows the fool , the wicked , the brute who fails to understand that the
knowledge of GOD through IFA make one to be a wise and intelligent man

All the good , upright , and honest are well known to GOD , they operate in all land , all nations , all
path among different people

Oturagbe, ensure, you lift me up over obstacles , free me from my weakness and condemnation ,
lift my family , and all the work of my hand , lift my head up among men of various nations ,
country land and people

Ifa teaches us to fight within us , we should not fight any of our cause from outside, never think of
contrary forces affecting you from outside, your inner wishes attract the outward supports and
inner power is the power of doing and the forces of profound dimension affecting as either
positively or negatively in the cosmic realm . The rain falls on whatever crop you plant , the plant
cannot change because of the falling of rain , but the farmer can change the plant and the rain will
water any plant he have planted. Most things in the world depends on your inner wisdom and the
inner knowledge. We must develop a strong will to develop our vessel or ourselves very well
Through the wisdom we acquire , most especially the wisdom of IFA. Just as good intention comes
from within , so also the evil manifestation is a product of evil thought and evil action and evil
activities. To build or construct , we must first have a good thought ,wisdom and understanding
that go beyond your physical reality , that is your inbuilt spiritual power , wisdom and energy
within .God endow you with the power of building and to construct, the transformation of this
power depend on the wisdom you acquired from IFA . hence learn IFA and acquire ODU , to live a
meaningful life in the physical and the spiritual realm of existence
IFA says the spiritual gains of all devotee , depends upon his feeling , sentiments , ideas , action
from within , from his mind toward IFA and OLODUMARE and not the physical habits or action .
IFA says those who are born in the family of IFA tradition or Orisa lineage without practice IFA
wisdom and the tradition of ancient philosophy or the deity of ancestors are not blessed by IFA.
IFA says, there are people who only get to know IFA , ORISA and OLODUMARE through friends,
neighbor and well-wishers , and later take IFA tradition to their heart , live by the words of spirit
and the teaching of OLODUMARE through the learning of ODU and IFA. Oturagbe makes us to
know that these people shall be favored , blessed and illuminated because they have initiated
their soul and imbibed IFA doctrine into their lives and heart, called IFA-AYA , that is having IFA at
the centre of your heart and soul and life by the principle of IFA. This is the wisdom of IFA and the
knowledge of OLODUMARE . IFA says being born into tradition does not make you a child of
promise to the tradition of IFA. It is those who actually acquire , live and bless by OLODUMARE
through his divinity and comply to IFA way of life are the children of OLODUMARE and the disciple
of IFA . that is the major reason while under the verse of Oturagbe says ‘’OLODUMARE O RINU ,
IFA O RINU ,ENYIN IRUNMOLE E RINU MI , ILE O RIKA , ENIYAN TI NSE RERE , OLODUMARE MO
WON’’ –TRANSLATE

‘’OH , GOD , YOU ACTUALLY SEE MY MIND , IFA YOU SEE MY HEART , ALL DIVINITIES YOU SEE MY

The energy speaks of sacrifice to deter ‘’AJENIRUN’’ . Note – AJENIRUN are those people or
negative energy or vibration that eat up the reward of our effort . AJENIRUN are different energy
from or different people from AROGO –SAJU OLOGO ( AROGO –SAJU –OLOGO are the people who
see the glory and the success of others before it comes into manifestation)

Ajenirun are fortune eater , while Arogo saju ologo are the people or energy that perceive and see
the blessing and glory of man before it manifests in the physical state of existence. They see before
hand , the glory before the owner of the glory could see it . they are like star gazer and they are the
power that influence ones destiny in a negative way , they possess abundant negative power to
upset one’s life to attain negative result both in the physical state and spiritual plain of existence
and influence in a negative way our physical action , attitudeso as to bring spiritual woos to our
lives andprevent us from fulfilling our destiny .

They(Ajenirun) are priests or messenger and energy of higher destructive power , that is
Ajenirun , they are oracle of bad and negative vibration, they use their power to see and effect
profound negative vibration to the lives of the people . They perceived and see the glory and the
blessing of others , and they do and take every negative spiritual steps to deter the manifestation
of such glory . IFA says , we should try in a positive way to deter the proximity of such evil priest or
evil people or these evil energies in our lives, and the lives of our beloved ones

IFA says , these people possess higher negative spiritual sensitive and feeling to the spiritual
blessing of others . They have the capacity to change fortune into misfortune . ajenirun can be a
potential fortune eaters and goal consumers. They consume and eat up every fortune, goals, and
success of others , and those they perceived merit negative influence , they quickly make it
manifest . They can be likened to KORIKO AJEGUN JERAN, That is , hyenas the eaters of flesh and
bones. They fed on every living and dead soul in creation . IFA says , they manifest in the physical
state and they have their agents in the spiritual realm , that is the main reason they operate at the
frequencies of light , hence an initiates must take good notice of these energies and people in
their earthly life . They loves to eat ones fruit before coming to the physical world , that is , during
pregnancy . They have prior knowledge of future destiny of the baby in the womb , they know
before hand those children with higher potentials for greatness and they disturb such child or
children both in the mother’s womb and on getting to the physical state of existence , so as not to
fulfill the GOD given destiny or fate or potentials.

Ajenirun are people and energy or messenger that destroy , damage or create a misfortune of
greater proportion . If spiritual steps are not taken . every IFA devotee must seek sound spiritual
steps to deter the power of these people and they should try to seek a sound unified spiritual
effort to stop their negative vibrations. They operate at the level you cannot comprehend and they
effect a lot destruction in the lives of the chosen one . They maimed and injured and cause a lot of
disability without reason

Who was under heavy bondage , yet he did not know how to get over his problem

IFA story

Ifa made us to realize that there was a certain man in the city of IJERO , whose name was called
ALASELA . This man was a very hardworking , diligent , determined and discipline to succeed .
Consequently these attributes did not pave way to the success of the man, without the ultimate
support of GOD and his numerous divinities the man failed . Unfortunately , he did not break
through the burden of lack and misfortune . He later decided to go and consult IFA oracle to know
the sources of his predicament and misfortune .

IFA advised him to offer sacrifice and rituals to overcome the fortune eaters and those who have
seen one’s glory before it comes into manifestation and those with double character and multiple
faced beings with dark soul

Then , IFA priests advised Alasela to get goats three , sheep three , 3 he-goats , obi 21, orogbo 21 ,
atare 21, a large quantity of cowries , black soap and iyereosun for sacrifice

They will mark this odu on iyereosun for sacrifice . The owner shall use it to bath for three month.
It will be used three times within a week for three month consequently

All the attack of the fortune eaters and fortune changer shall be defeated by Alasela
Without much effort , , the sacrifice was accepted ,and the rituals was fulfilled Alasela said , he
wants to re-do the sacrifice but he was advised not to do that but give obeisance to the priest ,
while priest will give obeisance to IFA oracles and the oracle will give obeisance to OLODUMARE

Alasela repeated what his IFA priest said during ritual that

Let my sacrifice be accepted

Let my ritual goes up to the heaven above

Found bottomed and narrow necked

Not shaped to sit upright

Beauty flask lies side

This divine IFA oracle for Alasela

Who was under heavy burden and great bondage

But he did not know the sources of his problem and he did not know how to get over the
compounded problem

He found himself in

Only IFA can saves

Save me now IFa , said Alasela

Ifa saves all your devotees and initiates

Save your faithful disciple , oh Ela

Who are under heavy bondages

Save them all

IFA be of great sanctuary to those whose fortune has turned into misfortune

Whose destiny have been destroyed from the wombs of their respective mother

Do it now , IFA

Save them , oh GOD , you know their mind

Bless them IFA , you know their way, their heart and their innocent habit

Ase
Under this energy , IFA advises us not to stay idle . We should always find something or any work to
do to keep our self busy , our heart must be busy , soul must be busy and body must be busy
doing something to keep us alive . We must do anything to build our mental , emotional and the
physical power and life . IFA says , we should not live without work. We use our work to improve
our life and add value to our life . we should not fritter our lives and our time like groundnut outer
coat . We should not use idleness to destroy our destiny . IFA says , work with spiritual steps are
the foundation that lead to a successful life .

Translation of verse twelve under oturagbe

Ifa let my sacrifices be accepted

Ela let my rituals go to the heaven above

I have been working for long

This is the year of possible and sound reward

The reward of prosperity , wealth and riches

I must surely attract blessing of wealth this year

This divine ifa oracle for Ogun , the god of iron

The owner of the sword of life

He used one to clear farm for the plantation and the other for clearing the path to victory

The divinity that say , who is Ogun , will eat his food with his bare hand

That OGUN have a tremendous influence on other divinities and all human in general is not over-
statement

The deity that work from home

The spiritual messenger that first work in the farm and trend the path of brute force, success and
prosperity

May prosperity and blessing of wealth overwhelm me from the back

Like a fresh and cool water revive a dying fish in the river

Oh , Yee! Orunmila , I did nor joke with my work

Indeed , all the divinities work without rest in heaven

The moon works incessantly in the sky

I am working to be great and to possess enormous prosperity in life

Whoever works will become great and exceedingly wealthy in life

Oh, IFA ORUNMILA , let my blessing of prosperity and wealth be my lot till old age
Ase

Ifa says , we should pattern our life to the early working life of Ogun in creation. Ogun was said to
have started the farming or agricultural system on earth plain .Ogun planted various crops and
seeds, and he was a the first blacksmith and the first person to melt iron from the beginning of
creation . Design and hard-work also formed part of his working life . Coupled with these
attribute, Ogun was seen as a fierce divinity , and ferocious deity , hence works were used by Ogun
to minimize his ferocious and aggressive attitude and works were used a therapy for his lack of
patience . Those with hyper active nature should use work as therapy or medicine to minimize the
negative effect of such attributes and action . IFA sees work from the primordial order as a
medicine for long life and as a mean to achieve personal growth , both on spiritual , emotional and
physical level . Life without work is like raw gold without firing it into ornaments. IFA says , to add
value to our lives , we must work , work and work till the end of our existence in the physical state ,
which will later lead us to dwell with divinities in the spiritual state of existence , IFA says earthly
work is an extension of heavenly duties, ISE LOSUPA NSE LORUN , means , the moon works
incessantly also in heaven . hence , Ifa , advises all its devotees , and disciples to work as long as
there are living . IFA says , work is a double edge sword to fight anger , frustration , sickness ,short
life and also to fight poverty , stress and lacks.

IFA says , ifa priest must be respected . IFA emphasizes on one great fact that is , respect comes
from doing dignified works and duties, more so, respect comes from dignified attitude. Just like
initiates and devotees of IFA must respect all ifa priests, likewise , IFA priests must not do anything
that will cause disrespect to his position and staff of spiritual office and divine power, which may
later cause derision to IFA as a divinity . IFA oracle advises ifa priest to respects all IFA devotees ,
independent of the ILE(house) , or country or state , or sex or color. ORUN LO MA ATILA , ORUKO
ORUNMILA , MEANS, ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS WHO SHALL BE SAVED , THEN , HEAVEN RESPECTS
THOSE WHO RESPECT THEMSELVES.

Ifa says , those who respect themselves, respect their ORI , their divinities , will surely respect
OLODUMARE , the infinite power in the universe , and they will respect other soul in the cosmos .
Respect according to IFA prevents many diseases . Where there is no respect, ifa says , there bound
to have loss of lives ,dignity and honor . Respect starts with the performance of spiritual duties ,
functions and steps such as prayer , sacrifices, rituals , propitiations and ancestral worship, doing
your initiations at the appropriate time and honor spiritual orders and uphold the sanctity of life .

Peace, harmony ,success , fortune and victory are true result respect of spiritual laws , principles
and order . Spiritual laws and spiritual steps govern life forces and life success. Spiritual steps
prevent afflictions of diseases and other mysterious negative activities. IFA says when a man
ignorantly play with the fire of life and expect nothing to harm him , he is looking for impossible ,
when you put your hand into the fire , one should expect burning . A man who respects the
sanctity of marriage shall live peacefully in dignity with his wife and children . Those who does not
respect the institution of marriage shall witness the evil of marital oath. Respect attracts the same
proportion of respect from divinity and the people

This divine ifa oracle for elderly man

That tied a corn to his waste

Deride himself in the hand of the chicken and hen

Life entails respect

Authority upon which leadership rest , is based upon the custom of self -respect

A senior person is respected so far as he respects himself and refrain from undignified attitude

Otherwise , he forfeits respect

The idea of the dignity attached to seniority lead to abstention from undignified acts

Let the dignified man respect his life and destiny

Others will follow suits

I respect both familiar and un-familiar

I respect the young and the old

I respect all the known and unknown divinities

To be respected as a being

To avoid ridicule and derision in the present state of life and in the world beyond

One must possess self- respect , self- dignity

Let me be victorious because I have respected my destiny and my life
