Ifa advises This person never to show
anger on any issue. He must always show
maturity, especially when in the midst of many people. If he do this, He shall be looked upon for guidance and
direction. Ifa says that his life shall be very interesting and rewarding
if he can keep all the tenets and taboos
of Ifa. He have chosen all the great things of life in heaven. He should not allow excessive anger or
tempestuous temperament to derail him. Ifa advises this person to offer ebo
with 3 roosters, 3 guinea fowls and money. One of the roosters will be used to
feed Esu. On this Ose -Otura says:
