Ifa says everybody should take good care of his or her child\children or family
(spiritual/biological) before considering teddy or toys. This is because, this year, one’s
relation to human being will yield profits than ones relations with teddy or toys. It is
said that the future will be determined by the quality of the human beings/resources. To
make the future promising for one’s children or relatives, Ifa has recommended ebo
with 4 rats, 4 fish, 4 hens, kola nuts, pap, palm oil, gin and money. After the ebo, Ifa
will be appeased. On this, Ifa says:
Benu ni won pe oka
Benu n laa pe ere
A difa fun Alaso dudu janjan oke apa
To fomo tie sile laipon
To n pon molubi oni molubi kiri
Awogingi o se gbaragada ka fi rina damodun
Omo eni ni dingi eni
2.
This year, many barren will become parents. They should not be too conscious of their
dressing or beauty. Ifa says the barren should not look at the mirror. Any woman who is
longing for a child need to make ebo with 4 rats, 4 fish, 4 hens, a goat, kola nuts, gin,
palm oil, pap and money. On this, Ifa says:
E ku ana
E ku oni
Aifeniiki ni e ku ijeta o se kira eni
E ku ana lo dun adunju
A difa fun Adeyokun
To n moju ekun sogbere omo
Awojiiji o se feregede
Ka fi rina amodun
Omo eni ni jingi eni
How was yesterday
How was today
It is in attempt not to greet that we say “how was day before yesterday” is not good to
say
However, how was yesterday is better
Ifa revelation to Adeyokun
When longing for children
The mirror cannot be large enough
For one to see the future through it
One’s child is one’s mirror
3.
There is fortune for immigrants this year. People who are planning to travel from one
place to the other for work or businesses will prosper. The Ifa/Orisa priests who travel
to another city/country to do their work need to make ebo to profit over their spiritual
job. Ifa has advised inhabitants of each place to trust the outsiders/foreigners who come
to their place. This is because, all that the strangers do for the inhabitants will be
effective. Ebo to make by anybody who intends to travel includes 16 pigeons, honey,
gin, kola nuts, palm oil and money. A goat will also be sacrificed to Ifa. On this, Ifa
says:
Ibinni nile aje
Irada nile omokun
Ibi o gbe sunwon la n boyinde
A difa fun Orunmila
Baba n sawo rode Eto Gege
Alade, o de rere! Obararete, abisawo jingbinni
4.
Still about the travelers, Ifa says they will be successful wherever they go. Also, they
will return safely. Ogun should be appeased before embarking on the journey for a safe
return which Ifa has promised. The items to sacrifice are a dog, 3 cocks, palm oil, kola
nuts, gin, pap and money. Ogun will be appeased with the dog. On this, Ifa says:
Afebo riru boju iku
Afetutu barun mole
A difa fun Orunmila
Baba n sawo relu Etomini
Awa yun rere
Awa bo rere
A yin Obara
A yin Irete
5.
For those who are longing for wives, Ifa says they should be generous. Those who are
generous to people will find good wives while those who are stingy may find it difficult
to find good wives, if not find wives at all. Also, single men should always have food at
home. Besides home, they should always give food to those who visit them in their
places of work. Ebo to be made by anybody who is longing for a wife includes 4
pigeons, honey, eggs, gin, kola nuts and money. On this, Ifa says:
Yangi abori kugu
A difa fun Olobara
To n lo ree dako si eba ona
Ebo ni won ni o se
O gbebo nibe o rubo
Ero Ipo, ero Ofa
Aya wa wole to wa beerere
6.
It is forbidden for any woman who is longing for a child to adorn her buttocks with
beads. Ifa says the beads will prevent her from getting pregnant. Any woman in this
situation should sacrifice 4 rats, 4 fish, 4 hens and money. After the ebo, if she has
beads on her waist, she will remove it and put it on Esu. On this, Ifa says:
Pankere teere awo inu igbo
Eesun wowo awo egi
A difa fun Olasunmisokun
To n moju ekun sogbere omo
Ebo ni won ni ko se
O ko bee ni ko ru
Opolopo ileke ni ko je ki Olasunmisokun o bimo
8.
Ifa warns married women against adultery. There is danger in involving in extra marital
affair because, when the secret is exposed, this may lead to the woman being put out of
the marital home. Also, married women should be careful not to play too much with
men in a place where they fetch, sell or buy water. This is because; their husband may
take it to be something that it is not. On the other hand, men should also cease from
playing too much with married women. On this, Ifa says:
Benu ni won pe oka
Benu n laa pe ere
A difa fun Aasemoga mogamoga
Ti saya Agbonmireguin
Aase mogamoga oo seni
Aase mogamoga oo seniyan
Aase mogamoga! Emi lo wodo wa doko se?
9.
Obarairete warns married women to be humble and submissive to the husband. If they
are not, this may lead to divorce. Also, there might be regret after such divorce and this
may lead such woman to living in abject poverty for long. Furthermore, it may be
difficult to get any good husband after the divorce. On the other hand, Ifa has promised
any woman who is humble and submissive happiness and profits. On this, Ifa says:
Orunmila ni bojumo ba ti mo
Keni o maa ki oko eni
Obirin ti oo ba bosi ku
Bo ba ti ji
Wiworoko ni maa woroko oju soko
Obirin ti oo ba boro ku

10.
This year, there will be a lot of wars against many countries. The army of each country
will surely overpower the rebels. Ebo should be made to ensure the victory. The items
to sacrifice are 3 he-goats, 3 cocks, palm oil, gin, pap and money. On this, Ifa says:
Ela pinpin
A difa fun enlojo eso
Won n rogun Ojonlo
Ebo lawo ni won o se
Won rubo

Nje awa yun o
Awa bo
A ti segun Ojonlo

Cast Ifa for 162 warlords
They were going to the war of Ojonlo
They were advised to make ebo
They made the recommended ebo
Their ebo was accepted
Behold, we have gone
We have returned
We have won the war of Ojonlo
11.
For long life and sickness, ebo needs to be made with 3 cocks, 3 big rats, one’s used
cloth, palm oil, a club and money. On this, Ifa says:
Obara reterete
A difa fun Oka, omo elewu pabo
Won ni ko fi ewu re rubo nitori iku
O fi eti otun gbebo
O fi tosi da nu
Igba aitebo

Obara reterete
Cast Ifa for Oka, one with deadly cloth
He was advised to sacrifice its cloth against death
He heard the recommended ebo with its right ear
It threw away the advice through the left ear
Failure to make ebo
Refusal to make rituals
Don’t you see the manifestation of the Ifa recited by the priest
12.
For safety, business people who travel every day to their place of work or shops, there is
a need to sacrifice a he-goat, palm oil, a calabash, a clay plate, a big rat and money. On
this, Ifa says:
Paafaa teere
A difa fun Ologbo
Ti n rebi atokedoke
Ebo lawo ni ko se
O rubo ebo re da
Kin lo yo Ologbo ninu ibi?
Igba epo atawo eje

Cast Ifa for Ologbo, the cat
When travelling around
He was advised to make ebo
He complied and his ebo is accepted
What has rescued Ologbo, the cat, from evil?
A calabash of palm oil and a plate of blood
Are the things which rescued Ologbo, the cat from evil
13.
This odu seriously warns against divorce. It warns especially the wives of Ifa/Orisa
priests not to consider divorce this year. On this, Ifa reiterates:
Yangi abori kugu
A difa fun Barawe
Ti saya Orunmila
Eyi to n sagidi osi soko re
Barawe! Bo ba ko Orunmila sile
Boya lo le roko rere fe mo
14.
Sanponna should be appeased so that there will be no disease. Also, anybody that is
travelling should be careful of what he eats or drinks. The hygiene of the place one
travels to should also be taken into consideration. The ebo to make here include banana,
palm oil, snails, shea butter, paps, boiled corn, pop corn and money. On this, Ifa says:
Obara oo rote
Mo rote n o sa
Mo maro lowo mi otun
Mo mu aaja lowo mi osi
Mo papo o ro janganjangan

15.
This year, Opele should be used often when making ebo especially for the sick. Ifa has
confirmed the effectiveness of making ebo with Opele throughout this year. This does
not mean we should not use Ikin and Ifa tray to divine or make ebo. But whenever ebo
is to be done for a sick person, Opele is advisable. Also, those who are sick should
sacrifice a he-goat, a big rat, palm oil, pap and money. On this, Ifa says:
Iroke o ku mofe
Irukere odo yere
Patako o ku ijokoo laafin oba
Ota inu omi ni o dekun gbedegbede ni ririn
A difa Opele
To n sawo rele Onitagi

A si fese mejeeji te e
16.
For long life, we need to make sacrifice with 3 cocks, a chick, palm oil, pap and money.
After making the ebo, we will leave the chick in a place where hawk will carry it. On
this, Ifa says:
Ajikoro dide
Okunrun eko o tepa
A difa fun Orunmila
Nijo irere n ge gbogbo ori Irunmole kaye
Asa lo gbawo ladiye lo
Gbogbo ajogun ibi
E rokeere fefe e lo ree se si si

To wake up healthy
A sick earth worm employs walking stick to be able to walk
Ifa revelation to Orunmila
When Irere, death was beheading all Irunmole
It is hawk that has carried away priest’s fowl
All evil forces
Go to a very far place to fight
Evil forces have flew afar
17.
Ifa has assured all his followers of victory. We need to make ebo with a he-goat, 3
cocks, palm oil, 3 big rats, pap and money. On this, Ifa says:
Agbo gboro ija ko motakomotako
A difa fun Okanrairai
Ti n wofa Olojo ibon
Omo arapa eran segun
Nijo ti n be lagbatemo ogun aye
Ebo ni won ni o wa se
Awa yun re
Awa bo re
Awa lomo Olobara to sete
18.
Still on victory over enemies, Ifa has assured his followers that no enemy will have
power over them. Ebo should be made with 2 hens, 2 guinea fowls, 2 pigeons, kola nuts,
honey and money. After the ebo, Osun, Oba, Olokun, Olosa and Yemoja will be
appeased. On this, Ifa says:
Obara reterete awo Omi
A difa fun Omi
lojo ti Omi n be larin ota
Ebo ni won ni o se
O gbebo o rubo
E baa bu u siwa
Ki e bu u seyin

Obara reterete the priest of Omi
Cast Ifa for Omi, the water
When it was amidst enemies
It was advised to make ebo
It complied
Whether you fetch water in front
Whether you fetch water from the back
Water will never feel the impact
19.
This year, we should make sure we greet our Ifa/Orisa every morning. And when we are
doing this, we need to put our head down to touch the ground. In essence, those who are
fond using the hand to touch the ground then touch the head should cease. Therefore,
we should always kneel down and use our heads to touch the ground. On this, Ifa says:
Abere ni fi toju timu sise
A difa fun Foribale
Ti somo bibi inu Agbonniregun
Awa fori bale loni awa o ku mo
ObaraIrete! Ori a gbo ke
20.
Anyone rearing animals or keeping live stock should sacrifice one of each of the
animals in his possession. Besides the animal(s), he will add a big rat, palm oil, gin and
money to the items of ebo. It is advisable to do this to prevent death. On this Ifa says:
Popondo ni so bi adaasa bi adaasa
Amoniloju ara won ni won n se
A difa fun Olohunku
Won ni o sebo saiku ara re
Igba aisebo
Igba aiteru
A je eran yii dun Olohunku
Osomusomu!
A jeyi dun Olohunku
22.
This odu says there is conspiracy and wars in the world. Ifa says people are waging war
against the authority in the world. This can be the authority in the respective countries.
The leader will surely achieve his mission. It is recommended that the leader of each
community, state, country or organization should make ebo with a ram, 7 big rats, 7
pigeons, palm oil, pap and money. Each king in Yoruba land should also make this ebo.
And the kings should never turn against Yoruba tradition and Ifa/Orisa. Any king who
turns against the Orisa, Oduduwa will surely deal with him. On this, Ifa says:
Ayun mi ree, ire ni ki o je
Abo mi ree, ire ni ki o je
Atayun atabo
Mo de mo ba tijotayo nile
A difa fun Oduduwa Atewonro
Yoo ko gbogbo Irunmole wa sode aye
Awa yun o
Awa bo
Omo Olobara kii ku sote
This is my going, may it be successful
This is my coming, may it be successful
Both my going and my return
I arrived and met dance and happiness at home
Ifa revelation to Oduduwa Atewonro
He would bring all the Irunmole to the earth
We have come
We have returned
The child of Olobara will never die in war
23.
Ifa has assured the world that the war from the rebels will surely be suppressed. The
leaders need to make ebo. Also, the practitioners of Ifa/Orisa religion are assured of the
war against them here and there in the world. The items to sacrifice here are a he-goat, 3
cocks, 3 big rats, pap, palm oil and money. On this, Ifa says:
A bi loro

Won lote n be lapa osi

24.
This year, Ifa warns those who are chasing another man’s wife. Ifa says anyone who is
found in such act will be punished. Those who are suspecting their spouse should make
ebo with 3 cocks, 3 big rats, a rope, gin, kola nuts, pap, palm oil and money. On this, Ifa
says:
O n bere labe buka
O n ba kubekube
A difa fun Olobara to n lo ji obirin Irete do
Awo mu e loni o, Awo mu e
Olobara to n ji Obirin Irete do
Awo mu e loni o, Awo mu e
25.
Ifa says people whose children are dying prematurely should initiate them into Ifa. The
age of the child does not matter here. On this, Ifa says:
Gbara odede ni mo ti te

A difa fun Orunmila
Baba oo te omo ojo keedogbon nifa
Ta ni n be leyin to n sebo
