SUMMARY OF SOME GENERAL INFORMATIONS FOR THOSE BORN BY

ODU IFA OGBEYEKU DURING THEIR ITELODU OR IKOSEDAYE

  A person for whom this Odù is revealed during Itelodu (Initiation) or Ikosedaye (a glance at the destination of a newborn baby, normally made on the third day of birth) is through nature someone who will enjoy the IRE of happiness in his life. He or she does not  need to over-work before all the good things in life come his or her way. They will succeed where many others have failed. They will live a fulfilled life. Whenever the client is having any problem in life that is not to misbehave, misdemeanor, crime or refusal to consider the warning, he or she should offer sacrifice as in (3) about and or as recommended by the Babaláwo. If this can be done, the problem will disappear in due course.

  For a male person born by this Odù, he will marry a good wife who will bring good luck and success. She will be however jealous wife. However, for a female she must marry a person who had been initiated  because of her jealousy. This is because a person who has been initiated  will know how to offer Ifá sacrifice of time and follow Ifa orders on how to cover with a jealous woman. Something short of this can lead to disaster for the woman.

Ifá says that the children of Ogbe-Yeku, male or female are Elegbé. They have celestial peers who control their activities on earth. They must create a space for Egbe so that from time to time suitable rituals for Egbe can be performed. The Egbe will maintain wealth, good health, children and long life for them. They will also live happily in life.

There is a tendency however for the children of Ogbe-Yeku to meet adversary at home, work and among their peers. This is due to  their success, clear nature and achievement terms of commercial success, beauty, popularity and so on. With proper sacrifice, all the bad machinations of their enemies will add up to zero. Many of their enemies will return to them the cap delivered.

The children of Ogbe-Yeku, male and female also have qualities of direction. This is particularly so because of their marked wit and high intelligence quotient. Your friends and admire will love and worship them for this while their enemies will give them an inquisitive respect.

They should nevertheless take care of the means of friends. If possible they should not join any club, partnership or association and if they should, they should find out and verify from Ifá before they do so. This will prevent them from making a bad choice.

They also must not leave on any day without initially calling  for Ifa consultation. They should not go out at night and should not change situation without calling for Ifa consultation. All these are for their safety. They should always take their dreams seriously.

They should not enter the medical or paramedical field as a profession. Food, Pathology, Pharmacy, Health technology, Midwifery, Radiology, Medical laboratory, Gynecology is not and so on is not advisable for them as a profession. They should also avoid going to pay condolence visit where a person had just  died or seeing fresh corpse except if they were not aware of this beforehand de facto.

They should also be decorating their children's waist with Lágídígba beads to protect them from early mortality.

They were ones who cast Ifa for the Lion that urinates around the forest.

Who will also be following all the dams around the forest (without killing one)

They advised him to offer sacrifice

He complied.

The lion went to consult Ifa when all the things he was doing amounted to nothing. He keeps hunting over the forest without killing any prey. He went then for Ifa consultation to know whether or not he can achieve his mission of great hunting gain with ease. The lion was advised to offer sacrifice. What would he offer as a sacrifice? Two bottles of liquor and money. The liquor was specially prepared for the lion so he can drink. He started drinking the liquor. Any time the lion drinks liquor, he urinates round the bush, any prey that entered that circle of urine would find it impossible to get out of the ring. This is because of the power of the liquor. The Lion would come and kill the prisoners trapped inside the circle with ease.

Ifá says that the client will be able to achieve the wishes of his heart with ease. He must offer sacrifice and must be hopeful in life. He is going to become a powerful person in life.

COMMENTRIES

These stanza talk of failure as an event,when compare it to failure as individual.failure as an event dont necessarily need to transform to failure as individual.When Lion at his initial stage did not succed in catching and killling his prey in an hunting expendition.He nevertheless deter .But he proceed to consult Ifa to find a lasting Solution,which he eventually acheive by observance of the sacrifice. This stanza is far more elucidating on different between failure as a person  and failure as an event.We should not allow failure as an event to transform to failure as a person.

On this, Ifá says:

Orí Ogbo, orí ató ni baba edan

Òsòòrò ni baba ójó

Sègèrè ló tó ilu lù

Eyín erin ló tó Obaá fon

An Obá(the king) is the only one capable of flying Ivory

They were ones who launched Ifá for the ÌWÉ, the female Descendant of the swamp,

When she was crying because she did not have any child survivors.

The problem with ÌWÉ was that whenever she delivered a baby, the baby would die shortly afterwards. This was happening repeatedly. Therefore, she went for the Ifa consultation. What should she do to put an end to the problem of losing her children at their early ages? What should she do to have children who would give her a suitable burial when she joined her ancestors? Those were the questions that bother her mind.

The five Babaláwo mentioned above advised him to offer sacrifice of four rats, four fish, a hen and money. She must offer ritual to Ifa. The ritual elements are a chicken and money. She complied. She was then advised to put Lágídígba beading around immediately the waist of her children as a charm of protection after they were born. She also fulfilled it.

Soon after, she became pregnant and began giving birth to the children. She assured however that the accounts were always in the children. "Whoever offers sacrifice, Èsù Òdàrà protects". Whenever the responsible spirit for the death of the previous children take the new one, Èsù Òdàrà intervened, confusing the spirit. He pointed the mind's attention to the accounts and asked if he knew the implication of killing someone with things like that adorned with beads. The spirit answered on the negative. Then Èsù Òdàrà told the spirit that those children have the protection of higher spirits and if that spirit should move near them, it meant that the spirit was courting disaster to itself. On hearing this, the spirit withdrew and never returned.

That was how all the children of ÌWÉ lived to old age. She was so happy and she was praising her Babaláwo like this:

Ogbe Yeku ni baba àmúlù

Orí Ogbo, orí ató ni baba edan

Òsòòrò ni baba ójó

Sègèrè ló tó ilu lù

Ifá says there is someone where Ogbe-Yeku is revealed who is right in the middle of the adversary. The person is surrounded by enemies who do not wish him well. Ifá says that he must offer Ebo( sacrifice) and he will overcome his enemies. On this, Ifá says:

 Ogbe Yeku le dá

And you have the ÌYÈRÒSÙN powdered on your head

That was the person who launched Ifa for the únunmìlà

When he (Òrúnmìlà) was in the middle of the enemies

Ifá woke up (early in the morning) and was contemplating

     how to contain by preventing war.

Orunmila was the one who had been followed by his enemies. They planned to ambush him and kill him, if possible. He slept one day and had a dream. In the dream, he saw that his enemies were planning evil against him because of his good deeds. For example, if a person were having problems with witches, he would give the person protection against such persons. Ifá a person was sick, he would cure it. Ifá a person wanted to go somewhere and the day would not be favorable, he would warn the client beforehand. All of these did not go down well with their neighbors who were the brains behind their problems being found by the victims. They therefore conspired against Òrúnmìlà and planned to eliminate it or at least, discard it. Òrúnmìlà invited one of his students then "Ogbe-Yeku gives him, Tí e kó òyèe rè lori" to come and consult Ifá him. They told him that he would defeat his enemies. He needed to offer sacrifice and perform rituals however. Sacrifice: three roosters, three black doves and money. This he pursued to perform rituals to Ifá and Ògún. For Ifá: - eight rats, eight fish and one guinea-bird. For Ogun: - a rooster, palm wine, roasted yam, roasted corn, palm oil, liqueur, kola nut, and bitter kola. Òrúnmìlà I fulfill.

The day that the enemies were planning to stalk Òrúnmìlà, an argument happened in which later better to handle the situation. The plot degenerated into a big fight and all the weapons that they planned to use against Òrúnmìlà were used against others. That was how únunmìlà on their enemies. He started singing and dancing together with everyone in his house:

For a  person who had come for Ifá consultation if this Odù is revealed, the  person  should be warned against doing things that can make his friends turn against him. However, if he had already been on the line for his beloved, he was advised to offer the sacrifice, perform the rituals and use the special soap prescribed above. Within a week or two, everything will return to normal for him.

XIII.

Ogbe-Yeku says that the person for whom this Odu is revealed must be very careful in the midst of his friends. If he is a member of an Association, club, or society, he must desist from attending any function of the association, club or society for some time. This is because he is a very vocal member of this collection but other members are envious of his contributions and achievements both within and outside the association, club or society. Therefore, they were planning bad against him.

Ifá also says, that he had a dream recently that gave him a premonition in what could happen to him in the gathering of friends. He must take sleep seriously. However, with proper sacrifice, the bad plans of their colleagues will turn against the conspirators. On this, Ifá says:

Gberi gan

Díá fún Egbin Orentele Olorun-un jolo

Níjó to n ló sí awujo egbe

Wón ní kí ó má ló

Kí ó sí rúbo ija óogun

 Ó gbebo, ó rúbo

Translation:

Gberi gan

He was the one who threw Ifá for Egbin the only one provided and the neck healthy.

When going to attend the function of jis society

They advised him not to attend

They also asked him to offer sacrifice against those who planned to fight him with Bad Charms

He obeyed the two counsels

Egbin is considered the prettiest and most elegant among the antelope family. He was a member of the animal society and he was very vocal during any of his deliberations. Besides this, he was also very successful in his commercial tasks. He attended meetings with the best of his clothes. This action made the turtle, monkey, deer, leopard and so on became jealous of Egbin. They considered him proud and intoned. They began to be against him that he planned to move the Lion as King. All of them began to trace against him. They were nevertheless aware of the fact he was very influential. For that reason, they reasoned that it would be unwise to physically attack him. Therefore, they planned to put a bad charm that will destroy his skin and make him ugly in his chair so that if he would sit in the chair, he would become a leper. They would use that excuse then to expel it from society. These evil conspirators decided to go and meet the Pangolin who was a botanist popular for bad charms then. He prepared the charm for them and they used it to rub the chair specifically reserved for Egbin.

The night before the day of the society meeting however, Egbin had a bad dream. In the dream, he was hunted away in hand and leg chains through other animals. When he woke up, the dream disturbed him greatly. Therefore, he went to his Babaláwo known as Gbérí. He went early in the morning in search of the Ifa consultation. Ogbe-Yeku was revealed. The Gbérí gan told Egbin that he had somewhere that he was planning to go. He said that Egbin should not go and should not attend any group function for approximately six months. He also advised Egbin to offer sacrifice of three roosters and money. He must also perform a ritual  to Èsù Òdàrà with a rooster, two palm-oil bottles, four kolanuts with three valves (Ventalla) each and money. He complied. Later in the day, all the other animals were present at the meeting, all waiting for Egbin to come. The special chair prepared for Egbin was put in an eminent place for him to sit forward. He was all waiting for Egbin but he did not come back. When  it was getting late, the conspirators stirred. They then sent the turtle to Egbin's house to persuade the latter to attend the meeting. The tortoise went to Egbin's house and asked him to attend the meeting.

Egbin pretended to be sick and told the tortoise that his illness would not allow him to attend. The tortoise then told Egbin that he should attend that because Egbin was being honored especially by other animals and Egbin should not miss this opportunity. But unfortunately for the turtle, Egbin refused to attend, considering the warning of Babaláwo.

Meanwhile, other animals that had been waiting for the turtle began to have second thoughts. Èsù Òdàrà entered their minds and they began to suspect the turtle before he returned.

Some of them said it was probably that the turtle must have gone to Egbin's house to warn him against attending the meeting. They also believed that the turtle must have received Egbin's satisfaction. The other animals were resolved to deal with if ever with the turtle so that he returned without Egbin.

When the turtle returned without Egbin, an argument happened. The argument was later degenerated into a wrestling match for everyone. In the process, the nose of the tortoise step on the matter and bad charm the put there for Egbin fall on the body of tortoise and pangoling.

Onídè was planning to go on a night excursion. He went for the consultation of Ifá in the house of his Babaláwo, wind of Erú. They asked him not to go, so he will not shoot himself with an arrow. They also asked him to offer sacrifice of a bearded goat, three arrows (made today of twigs), 50 kolanuts, 50 bitter-kola, two palm-oil bottles and money. They also asked him to use the black cloth on him as a ritual for the Esu. He refused  abruptly. He said that Erù-gàlè was a thief looking for relieving to eat and that there in no difference between Erù-gàlè el Babaláwo and Èsù Òdàrà who wanted his pretty black dress. He left the Babaláwo's house in anger.

When night came, he put on his fatal journey. Meanwhile, a hunter had been hunting the forest without success. Èsù Òdàrà directed the mind of the hunter then towards the direction of Onídè.

When the hunter saw the black dress on Onídè, he drew his arrow pointed to Onídè and released the shot. He stuck Onídè in the correct eye finished in the left eye, crossing the brain. Onídè died instantly.

She refused to comply and abused the Babaláwo, calling him a thief. She went to the meadow with all her children. They made their house there. When the dry season approached however, all the lawns became dry. People who live around the neighborhood set the lawns on fire in search of hunting. The grass cutter and all his children scattered everywhere and the hunters killed them all with sticks. That was how the lawn mower and all its children lost lives due to stubborn  Of lawnmowers.

Travelers to the Ìpo and towns of Ofa

Those who are advised to offer sacrifice, allow them to do so.

Ifa says that  the person for whom this odu is reveal, must offer the prescribed sacrifice and also consider the warning so that he does not blame himself.

XVI.

Ifa says that person for whom this Odu is revealed should not go to where a person had just died, that he or she should avoid paying condolence visit. He should not attend the ceremony of a person who had recently died. He can attend the final burial ceremony of someone who had died during the month whose funeral was postponed however. What is important is that the person should not see fresh corpse.

Ifá also says that when someone is sick, he should not apply medicine in such a person. The chances of the person will die ill are high if he applies the medication and  People will all conclude that he is the person responsible for the death of the sick person. the fact that he should not see Fresh corpse and that he should not apply medication to sick people had made it impossible for anyone born by Ogbe-yeku to enter the medical profession as Doctor, Feeding, Pharmacy, Midwifery, radiology, pathology, etc., or even work in any hospital. In this Ogbe-Yeku says:

Èèpo èpà a fara rindinrindin

Díá fún esè kan soso Ogbe

Tó n loo ye òkú Oloku wó

Wón ní kó má lo

 Wón ní kó sì rúbo àkóbá

Translation:

The rind of the tiger nut, with a rectangular shape,

He was the one who threw Ifa for one leg of Ogbe

When going to see the corpse of other people

They advised him not to

They also asked him to offer the sacrifice to avoid getting involved.

One leg of Ogbe had a friend who was very sick. He (Ogbe) was a medical botanist by training. He was invited then by the relations of his sick friend. He went for Ifa consultation before proceeding. His Babaláwo advised him not to go. He was also advised to offer a cock and money sacrifice to avoid getting implicated. He offered the sacrifice and stay at home.

The relations of the sick friend sent another message to Ogbe. This time he considered the call he applied medication on his friend and the friend died.

 

He was also called by some other people to assist their sick relationships and they all died. They all started to think that it was Ogbe who kills sick people. They all went home early one day dragged him before the Oba.

He tried to explain that he did not have a hand in the death of sick people but nobody was ready to listen. The Oba then told him that all available evidence pointed to the fact that Ogbe was the one who killed his patients. Ogbe was banished from the community and was never asked to practice again as a medical botanist.

Ifá says that the person for whom this Odu is reveal should not only offer the prescribed ritual but should also ensure he considers the warning so that he is not involved in a case he knew nothing about. Certainly, the alcohols are against their functioning in the paramedical field doctor. The Person must consider this warning, especially those born by this Odu  and those who this Odù is revealed to during the Ìtelódù (initiation) ceremony. If he is Babaláwo, he should not practice herbal medicine at all. He must contend with other aspects of Ifa.

He offered the sacrifice

But he did not consider the warning

Ogbe, you are the bad person

Ogbe, you are an inconsiderate person
