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 an Obá named Ikarode ruled, and he had a son; the two lived by the seashore. On the other side lived another Obá, Omologú (a witch), who was jealous of Ikarode.
One day the jealousy took him over completely and Omologú remembered his neighbor. He knew that Ikarode respected him, and he said to himself: "Ikarode is afraid of me, because he knows I am omo Ogún, and I am going to take away the land he rules." He then sent a messenger to Ikarode's land with an ultimatum: either he handed over the land, or he would kill him and his son.
The message left Ikarode full of fear, and he set out for Orunmila's house. Orunmila did osode for him, saw this Ifá and told him: "A very big mess is coming at you." Ikarode agreed and told him what had happened. Orunmila marked ebbó for him; afterward the animals would have to be shared out where Ifá ordered, and the ebbó had to go up to the top of the hill. He also told him to answer Omologú that he was not afraid of him, that he was not handing over the land, and that if he wanted it, he should come and get it.
Ikarode held back, because of the fear Omologú put in him; he ended up doing it out of the faith he had in Orunmila.
When he got the answer, Omologú was so shocked that he lined up his people on the spot and announced: "You will go by sea, and I will go through the open air."
Since he was a magician, he made himself some wings and fixed them with wax, and he went up very high so that the noise of his flight would not be heard. But Ikarode had already done the ebbó and the other works, and Olofin noticed right away what was going on and heated up the wings: the wax holding them melted, and Omologú fell into the sea and drowned. His people, left without a leader, scattered.
When Ikarode found out what had happened, he went to tell Orunmila, and Orunmila ordered him to go and take possession of Omologú's lands. He did so, left his son in charge of them, and that is how he won the war.
Note: here there is war between two people over a possession or a position, with sendings of egun and other works of harm in a witch's pot. They want to break up his house so that he loses position and well-being; to get it, they are willing to make him sick or kill him with witchcraft.
