Ifa said and I quote:
“Asebi, Asebi, Asese Sebi Sile
Ipori aja n roju, ipori aja ko je obi ri lailai,
Eni e ba ri ki e bi,
Adifa fun osun ti n se awo atande,
Won ni ko rubo nitori ire,
Osun mu ori ro ki o ma se dubule,
Iduro gangan la n ba osun awo”
ENGLISH VERSION
“We cut out a kolanut,
on cutting out a kolanut,
A dog was wandering,
No dog will ever eat kolanut,
Ask whoever you know,
cast divination for osun (ifa staff), that was the priest of open ground,
He was ask to make sacrifice because of Sickness, Poverty,
Thus, OSun (ifa staff) be upright and do not sleep,
It is an upright position we must meet ifa staff”
