Akinoro the awo of Ori Ogun Ode
Koleja the awo of Ode idewure
Poye the awo of Ode igbari
Eda giri giri the awo of Ode iwafin
The four of them were ifa apprentices of Orunmila
They went to divine towards the way to the ocean
At half sea
They collected 20 ropes (okun)
They collected 20 pieces of bronze (ide)
They collected wealth in the form of clothe
When they returned with wealth
They returned to orunmila as enemies
They used ojojo to fight orunmila (spiritually)
Orunmila slept and saw the signs in a dream
Baba (Orunmila) woke up and called on his iponri
Then he sent for Odimodimo, he said they should come and divine for him
They didnt see anything but osameji (in the oracle)
They asked of Akin oro
Baba (orunmila) said he was his apprentice
They asked of Koleja
Baba said he was his apprentice
They asked of poye
Baba said he was his apprentice
They asked of eda giri giri
Baba said he was his apprentice
They said these are the people fighting orunmila
Orunmila said haa if that is the case then they must all die
Akin oro died and became the bird Oyo
Koleja died and became the kowe the witch bird (looks like a bat but flies in the day)
Poye died and became the bird ogbin gbin
Eda giri giri died and became the bird owiwi (owl)
They (enemies) now said they know that it is orunmila that killed them
They now came in full force to fight orunmila
When they got on the way
The wings and legs couldnt move
They were now in great pain
Orunmila was on his way out
Baba (Orunmila) met them where they were struggling to move
They now started to beg orunmila
Please have mercy we will never ever fight you again
Orunmila now asked what if we come across a witch or astral mate that wants to fight us?
They responded that this will be our pact
Such (witch, wizard, astral mate etc) will lose both hands and legs
And will be in pain till death
But orunmila must always do ebos (sacrifice)
Orunmila said he should sacrifice
They said awo (members of the same cult) remains,
Awo amosun, awo amore (the grateful one),
It remain awo osunsun tere (a plant)
Which is the awo of the masquerades (egungun - they use to flog themselves with the stem
of this plant)

Iba
Hypocrisy kills the slave (3xs)
Argument kills the servant (3xs)
They were the ones that divined for ori yomi (my head or luck saved me)
When he was amongst enemies
They said enemies in front
Enemies at the back
They asked ori yomi how will progress amidst all these enemies
Ori yomi said they are trying
But his head (luck) is saving him
He said how could it be
He said when a 5 pieced kolanut is taken to the dieties
The Ofua is removed apart
Ori yomi said i shall be kept apart
It is a must
The wizards shall kept me apart
The witches shall keep me apart
The astral mates (emere) shall keep me apart
May the head of i (name)
Save me from the
Wickedness of men
Ase from the creator ase.
