The Obá Ikarode lived with his son by the seashore, and on the other side lived Omologú, a sorcerer Obá who envied him. Knowing that Ikarode respected him for being an omo Ogún, he sent him an ultimatum: hand over the land or he would kill him and his son. Ikarode, full of fear, went to Orunmila: «A very big trouble is coming down on you.» He was marked the great ebbó, the sharing out of the animals, taking the ebbó to Oke, and answering Omologú that he was not afraid of him and that if he wanted the land he should come and take it. He did not want to do it out of fear, but he did it out of the faith he had in Orunmila. Omologú, astonished, got his people ready: «You will go by sea, and I will go by air.» Being a magician, he made himself wings stuck on with wax and rose to a great height — but Ikarode had already made his ebbó, and Olofin, seeing what was happening, heated the wings: the wax melted, he fell into the sea and drowned. His people, left without a chief, scattered. Orunmila ordered Ikarode to take possession of Omologú's lands, and he put his son at the head of them: that is how he won the war.
On this road there was an Obá called Ikarode, who had a son, and the two of them lived by the seashore; and on the other side lived an Obá called Omologú (a sorcerer), who envied Ikarode.
One day Omologú, ruled by envy, remembered Ikarode, and knowing that Ikarode respected him, said to himself: «Ikarode is afraid of me, because he knows I am an omo Ogún, and I am going to take from him the land he governs.» Omologú sent a messenger to Ikarode's land with an ultimatum, that he hand over the land, or else he would kill him and his son.
Ikarode, on receiving the message, went full of fear to Orunmila's house, who made osode for him, saw this Ifá and told him: «A very big trouble is coming down on you.» Ikarode said yes, and told Orunmila everything. Orunmila marked him ebbó, and told him afterward to share out the animals from it wherever Ifá ordered, and to take the ebbó to the top of the hill; and to answer Omologú that he was not afraid of him, that he would not hand over his land, and that if he wanted it, he should come and take it.
Ikarode did not want to do it, out of fear of Omologú; but in the end he did it, out of the faith he had in Orunmila.
Omologú, on receiving Ikarode's message, was so astonished that he immediately got his people ready and said: «You will go by sea, and I will go through the open air.»
Omologú, who was a magician, made himself wings and stuck them on with wax, and rose into the air to a great height, so the sound of his wings would not be heard. But Ikarode had already made his ebbó and the rest of the works, and Olofin saw at once what was happening, and heated Omologú's wings; and the wax they were stuck on with melted, and he fell into the sea and drowned. Omologú's people, finding themselves without a chief, scattered.
When Ikarode learned what had happened, he went and told Orunmila, and Orunmila ordered him to go and take possession of Omologú's lands. So Ikarode did, and he put his son at the head of those lands — and that is how he won the war.
Note: it marks war between two people over a possession or a position, where there are sent eguns and other works of harm in a sorcerer's pot. They want to destroy your house so you lose your position and your well-being, and to get it they can even make you ill or kill you with witchcraft.
