11.

Ifa says that you are a born leader from heaven and that you shall
attain your leadership position here on earth. This is the more reason
why it is a taboo for you to engage in any misunderstanding or quarrel
with anybody. Ifa says that you shall be loved, hailed and respected by
all. Ifa states further that many will accept you as their leader.
Ifa advises you to offer ebo with 2 sheep. You will use one for ebo and
the other one to feed your Ori. After this, you will use fruits to serve
egbe. Ifa assures you that egbe is solidly behind you. On this Ifa says:

Tutuntu kan o ju tutuntu kan lo o

Tutuntu kan o ju tutuntu kan lo o
Itu won n tu yo lerubu ile
Bande ni won ntupo nilee ‘Bamode
Dia fun Olori-Egbe
Ti nt’orun bo wa ‘le aye
Ebo ni won ni o waa se
O gbebo, o rubo
Ogongo baba eye
Olori wa ma ma ree o

Translation:
The way we pour a commodity is not different from the way we pout
the other
The way salt is being offloaded in Erubu land
That is the exact way palm oil is being poured in ‘Bamode
These were Ifa‘s declarations for Olori-Egbe
When coming from heaven to earth
He was advised to offer ebo
He complied
Here comes Ogongo, ostrich, the father of all birds
This is our leader.

12. Ifa says that you are truly a born leader. Ifa however observes that
your fortune had come down a little. You do not need to despair
because Ifa will increase your worth in several folds. Ifa says that there
two of involved in this present predicament and both of shall smile at
the end of the day. Ifa advises you to offer ebo with 8 guinea fowls and
money. Feed Ifa with 1 matured she-goat, feed Sango 1 matured ram,
feed odu with 1 matured ram and feed your Ori with 1 sheep. This is
the stanza of Otura Tuka that usally changes the lives of Otura
Tukaa children for the better. It moves them from grass to grace,
from disappointments to achievement and from disillusionment to
contentment. On this, Ifa says:

O gba jo
 O tu raka
O tu raka
O gba jo o
Igi waa gbun ni’gbo
E n so
Opo eeyan to gbun laarin ilu nko
Emi le ri so sinu re o?
Dia fun Olokun
Nijo omi okun o to bu boju
Dia fun Olosa
Nijo omi osa o to bu san ese
Won ni ki won kara nle ebo ni ki won se
Won gbebo nibe, won sebo
Nje Okun lolori omi
Osa lolori odo

Translation:
It gathered together
And then scattered
After scattering
It gathered together again
Because you saw a crooked tree in the forest
You were complaining
What about many people who are crooked in the town?
What do you have to say to that?
These were Ifa’s declarations to Olokun, the sea deity
When the water in the sea was not enough to wash one’s face
Also declared to Olosa, the lagoon deity
When the water in the lagoon was not enough to wash one’s leg
They were advised to offer ebo
And they both complied
Behold okun, the sea is the head of all waters
And Osa, the lagoon is the head of all rivers

13. Ifa says that it is a taboo for you to eat hare or rabbit. Instead Ifa
advises to eat eere, porcupine. Ifa says that eating hare or rabbit may
make give birth to abiku children or make your wife to have the
problems of losing her pregnancies. Ifa advises you to offer with 1
matured he-goat and money. You are also advised to use porcupine
meat to feed Ifa. A stanza in Otura Tukaa states thus:

Igi igbo abijin rereere loganjo

Dia fun won ni Ikamogun
Omo Elepe won o jeran ehoro
Kiki eran eere lobe
 Igba ti won n sunkun awon o romo bi
Ebo ni won ni ki won waa se o
Won gbebo nibe won ntubo o
Ko pe o, ona o jin o
Ka wa ba ni ni jebutu omo
Jebutu omo laa ba lese Obarisa

Translation:
The forest tree with a wide shade in the middle of the night
This was the Ifa cast for them at Ikamogun land
The children of Elepe who must never eat hare/rabbit
Those who are allowed to have instead porcupine meat in their
soup pot
When they were lamenting their inability to have children
They were advised to offer ebo
They complied
Not too long, not too far
Come and meet us abundant children
With abundant children we celebrate under Obarisa.

14. Ifa says that you need Sekete, maize beer regularly to serve Ifa and
Osun. Serving Ifa and Osun with sekete on a regular basis will not only
guarantee you many children and followers, it will ensure that you
overcome all oppositions and put you on top of any situation at all
times.
Consequent upon this, Ifa advises you to offer ebo with 3 hens, 3
roosters, 8 rats, 8 fish and money. After this, there is the need to feed
Ifa and Osun with sekete. On this, Ifa says:

Sekeseke
Dia fun won lode Ika
Omo aroti oka se aremo
O digba ekinni
Won gbogun dode Ika
Won muti oka
Won logun lo o
O digba ekeji
Won gbogun dode Ika
Won muti oka
Won logun lo o
O digba eketa
Won tun gbogun dode Ika
Won muti oka
Won tun logun lo o
 Sekete o de o, oti aremo
Eni ba mu sekete
Omo re a po

Translation:
Sekeseke
He was the awo who cast Ifa for the inhabitants of Ika land
Those who use maize beer as fertility drink
At the first instance,
War was waged against Ika land
They drank maize beer
And sent the war packing
At the second instance
War was waged against them
They drank maize beer
And they overcame the war
At the third instance
War was also waged against them
The also drank the maize beer
Still, they conquered
Here comes sekete, the fertility drink
He who drinks sekete shall be blessed with many children and
followers.

15. Ifa says that you need to ensure that your daughter (if you have any) is
given to an Awo in marriage. This will prevent the child from dying
young. This same child must be doing ose-Ifa every 5 days in order to
prolong her life. On this, Ifa says:

Dudu n koro
Igi a alabu
Igi a lawo
Dia fun Fekunbi
Ti won ni o fomo e foko Awo
Ebo ni won ni o waa se o
Fekunbi o waa gbomo re foko Awo
Dudu n koro
Igi a labu
Igi a lawo

Translation:
Dudu n koro
Igi a alabu
Igi a lawo
They were the one who csat Ifa for Fekunbi
 The who was advised to hand over her daughter to an Awo in
marriage
She was advised to offer ebo
Fekunbi, please hand your daughter to an Awo in marriage
Dudu n koro
Igi a alabu
Igi a lawo

16. Ifa says that something is happening presently and people are waiting for
your disgrace and humiliation. Ifa advises you to offer ebo with 2 he-goats
and money and also to serve Esu with 1 he-goat. Ifa assures you that your
enemies shall wait indefinitely for the day that you will be put to shame;
and that day will never come. Ifa however warns you to be aware that you
gave of people out there waiting for your humiliation. You must therefore
be very careful in all that you do. Please do not give your enemies the
opportunity to laugh at your expense. On this, Ifa says:

Kan-an yanrin awo oko

Eepa ni o lorun keregbe
Dia fun Sekere
Ti won ni o wa sebo ojo esin ma k’ola
O gbebo, o rubo

Translation:
Kan-an yanrin awo oko
Eepa ni o lorun keregbe
They were the Awo who cast Ifa for Sekere, the beaded bottled
calabash
He was advised to offer ebo against being ridiculed tomorrow
He complied

Like a beaded bottled calabash, no rainfall can subject it to ridicule. In the same
vein, no evil machinations of your enemies will put you to ridicule.
