You will be able to achieve a lot of things that all women cannot achieve. Not only this, you will become somebody whom everybody will be looking up to for success, advice, help and counseling. Ifa advises you to offer ebo with eight rats, eight fish, two roosters, two hens, two pigeons, two ducks and money. You also need to feed Ifa with four rats, four fish, one hen and one guinea-fowl. On this, Ifa says: Esisi daso oro bole Dia fun Lakange Tii somo oloro loyinbo Ebo ni won ni ko waa se O gb’ebo, o ru’bo Lakannge igba wo lo di Olowo O ni Lagbaraa Ifa, Lagbaaa Ifa Lakannge nigba wo lo di alaya O ni Lagbara Ifa, Lagbaraa Ifa Lakannge nigba wo lo di olomo O ni Lagbara Ifa, Lagbaraa Ifa Lakannge nigba wo lo di onire O ni Lagbara Ifa, Lagbaraa Ifa Translation Esisi daso oro bole

2. Ifa says that your destiny is a fantastic destiny you have come into the world to achieve everything that is achievable and in several folds. Unfortunately however, the spirits governing your legs are not good for your destiny. As a matter of fact, it is your legs that are creating problems for your destiny. There is therefore the need for you to offer ebo with one matured he-goat and money. After this, the officiating awo needs to dig two holes that will be able to occupy each of your legs. The awo will also procure Alupaida and Awede leaves. The two leaves will be used to wash each of your legs into separate holes. The easier way to do this is to pound the two leaves together and mix the paste with soap. Put the soap in two separate sponges and use each sponge to wash each leg in each hole. The

sponge will be thrown into the hole and covered back. On this, Ifa says: Esuu tan lori o Lese lo ku si Dia fun Alukunyin Ti nlo oja Ayetoro Ebo ni won ni ko waa se O gb’ebo, o ru’bo Ogo gbaa, Oba-Aseje-Olomo Ogo gbaa Translation The trouble and misfortune had left the head It remains in the legs Ifa’s message for Alukunyin When going to Ayetoro market She was advised to offer ebo She complied Accept my pleading as glory The Oba who turns blood into baby Accept my pleading as glory

There is nothing that you want to achieve in life that you will not be able to achieve because you have the Ase of your mother’s ancestor on your head. Ifa advises you to offer ebo with

three pigeons, three guinea-fowls and money. |On this, Ifa says: Agbe nii daro Erifin, erifin Ojo arere nii ro arere, arere Ojo arere nii ro gborogboro lori ota Dia fun Agunfon Eyi ti yoo Kofa lati ile Iya re wale Ebo ni won ni ko waa se O gb’ebo, o ru’bo Iran-an mi ni nlaje, mo laje Agunfon wa de Oniran-iran o Iran-an mi ni nlaya Mo laya, Agunfon waa de Oniran-iran o Iran-an mi ni nbimo Mo bimo, Agunfon waa de Oniran-iran o Iran-an mi ni nkole Mo kole, Agunfon waa de Oniran-iran o Iran-an mi ni nnire Mo nire, Agunfon waa de Oniran-iran o Translation The Agbe blue turacco produces dye endlessly Heavy deluge rains endlessly The heavy rainfall falls on the rock with sounds Ifa’s message for Agunfon
