Oroororo Separately, one has to eat groundnut. Separately, one has to eat cherries. Entity of Oriri belongs to Oriri. Entity of Oriri belongs to Oriri. It is the fact of Oriri and Oriri that one has to relate to the king of Mokin in the city of Iranje, such that Oniranje would give to one a special person as a gift. When soldier ants laid siege to something, they would move like an army trailing each other, until they unleash terror on their captives. Cast divination for Ogo teere, the one that was taking warfare to Ilu gbendu gbendu eyin owonran. They asked Ogo teere to offer sacrifice. Ogo teere had about the sacrifice and performed it. He also heard about the offering of free booties and he gave it out. Ogo teere is with the male. Ilu gbendu gbendu is with the female. The back of one female is a separate coinage of another city.

He
should arrest females as captives. He should go and bring to earth as captives the people from the toothless city. He should also form contraptions; these contraptions that are formed however, would bring forth for us children. It the same contraptions that men form in women to date, Olodumare would give each and every one of us good wives and children. They continued in this order and life was sweet for them.

| Ifa Exhort us to be honest in life. The people who trouble the world these days are insincere. An honest sage is no longer in existence and truthful person is very rare indeed. When I no longer have any reliable person to confide in, I choose to keep my thoughts within. Those are the declarations of the oracle for Ajao who is being befriended by earthly and heavenly beings. He was asked to offer sacrifice and he complied. Alas, all the human beings seeking my friendship I harkens not, my thoughts had been kept within me. All heavenly beings are seeking my friendship but I am not interested in their friendship. I have kept my thoughts within me. | |
| The
honest one is too few. The upright People that are on earth number less than twenty, however the wicked ones number more than forty thousand. Cast divination for Orunmila, one day he would be saddened by all compelling incident. Ifa enjoins us to be honest the deities would not allow us to compromise the truth. They were asked to always offer sacrifice so that there would be many upright men in the world. They offered the sacrifice and thereafter, honest men started to be in the world. They said that upright people that are on earth number less than twenty, however the wicked ones number more than forty thousand. Cast divination for Orunmila, one day he would be saddened by all compelling incident. If it is the fortune of wealth that sadden us let it sadden our destiny, so that we could get to make good wealth. Whatever one feels sad about is one's sore point of persistent reference. The good fortune of wife that saddens us let it sadden our destiny, so that we could get good wife to marry. Whatever one feels sad about is one's sore point of persistent reference |
If
it is the fortune of children that sadden us let it sadden our destiny,
so that we could get good children to bear. Whatever one feels sad about is one's sore point of persistent reference. If it is the good fortune of houses that sadden us let it sadden our destiny, so that we could get a good house to build. Whatever one feels sad about is one's sore point of persistent reference. All the good fortune that saddens us let it sadden our destiny, so that we obtain good tidings. All the things one feels sad about are one's sore point of persistent reference. |
