    1) In the land of Ifon, there was an arm of the sea called Olokun that no one took care of or made offerings to. 2) As a result, Olokun became angry and started swallowing anyone who passed by in the waves. 3) Obatala realized some of his people were missing and consulted Orunmila, who said to make sacrifices of all things yellow to appease Olokun, which caused the angry sea to withdraw.

    A pataki of Ejiogbe-Idi

    THE ARM OF THE SEA.

    IN THE LAND OF IFON, THERE WAS AN ARM OF THE SEA AND THERE WAS AN OSHA THAT NO ONE TOOK
    CARE OF HIM. THIS WAS OLOKUN, EVERYONE WENT BY THERE AND NEVER THROWED ANYTHING INTO
    THE SEA, UNTIL ONE DAY OLOKUN GOT BOTHERED AND EVERYONE WHO VENTURED TO PASS BY THERE,
    THE WAVES SWALLOWED THEM.

    ONE DAY OBATALA REALIZED THE LACK OF SOME OF HIS OMO AND HE WENT TO SEE ORUNMILA, HE
    MADE HIM BEAR AND SAW THIS IFA AND TOLD HIM: YOU HAVE TO MAKE EBBO WITH: GBOGBO
    TENUYEN AND DRAW IT INTO THE SEA TO GIVE HIM UYEN THIS, BY DOING THIS OLOKUN WAS
    WITHDRAWING.

    ORUNMILA TOLD OBATALA THAT EVERYONE HAD TO YOKO OSHA.

    WHEN THIS WAS DONE, SAID ARM OF THE SEA WAS WITHDRAWING UNTIL IT DRY AND DISAPPEARED
    AND THEN PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO PASS THROUGH THERE AGAIN.

    NOTE: THIS ROAD IS SAID TO BE FROM OJUANI SHOBI.
