In the land of Ayegbi Oshe lived Awó Akua Roro, who had seven very discontented children, even though he always tried to give them everything. He lived worried about their future and prayed to Oduduwa, setting sara ekó before him: «Do not worry, your children are going to come together» — «I am ill in my heart and in my head, my back hurts, and when I die I have nobody to hand my secret to.» Oduduwa took him to Awó Buyoko (Orunmila): «You have to give food to Olorun so your land grows strong and your children obey you.» He made the circle of efún and orí with the board divided in four with the Meyi, the gourd of cow's milk over Ika Otura, the sixteen candles, and he called Olorun with the agogó. Olorun appeared and was given two doves and two white hens; Oduduwa gathered it all up, covered it with white cloth and took it to the top of the hill. By the power of Olorun that land grew strong, the children mended their ways and came together, and nobody could get the better of them any more. Awó Akua Roro lived in peace, charged with repeating the ceremony often and with receiving Oduduwa, who stayed on living in that land. This Ifá commands the Babalawos to close ranks for the iré ashegun otá.
In the land of Ayegbi Oshe lived Awó Akua Roro, who had seven children who were very discontented, even though he always tried to give them everything they wanted. He lived with a great worry about his children's future, and all he could do was pray to Oduduwa so that his children would come together and be able to save themselves and live well in the future.
He always set sara ekó before Oduduwa and prayed like this: «Oduduwa ori maya ofoyude omo lekun Awo Akua Roro sokun Baba.» Then Oduduwa would come and say to him: «Do not worry, your children are going to come together.» And the man would answer: «I am ill in my heart and in my head, and my back hurts a great deal; and when I die, I have nobody to hand my secret to, since my children each live in their own way.»
One day when he was with Oduduwa, Oduduwa said: «Let us go to Orunmila's house (Awó Buyoko Awalele Ifá), to see whether he can finally settle your problem.» And they set out on the road singing: «Ifa layeo Ifa layekun Baba Olorun, Awo Akuaroro Awo Buyoko iran lowo lemi.»
When they arrived, Awó Buyoko told them: «You have to give food to Olorun, so your land grows strong and your children obey you.» Awó Akua Roro made a circle on the ground with efún and orí and set down the board of Ifá; he divided it in four and set the Meyi on it, and sang to it: «Ogba de nifa Oddun bowa omo oyu opon Baba Eyiogbe Oddun bowa.»
Afterward, in the center of Baba Ejiogbe he set a gourd of cow's milk over the mark of Ika Otura, with sara ekó, orí and efún. Then he set his loose Ifá on the board, lit sixteen candles and began to call Olorun, sounding the agogó: «Olorun ogdobale Baba Olofin, Olorun ladeo Ifa laye Baba ni Olorun, Baba ashe omo layereo, Baba Olorun Olofin layereo.»
Then Olorun appeared, and he gave him there two white doves and two white hens, and sang: «Abele bele adie Ifa sinifikura bobao, Orunmila abele adie Ifa sinifikura.»
At which Oduduwa gathered it all up and covered it with white cloth, and took it to the top of the hill (lerí oke), where he sang: «Awo Layogbi Ifa Awo Akua Roro leri oke, Awo Buyoko omo Olofin layireo okua Baba.»
Then, by the power of Olorun, that land grew strong, and the children mended their ways and came together, and nobody could get the better of them any more.
And that is how the worry Awó Akua Roro carried about his children's future was lifted from him, and he was able to live in peace and with more strength. And Awó Buyoko and Oduduwa told him: «You have to do this ceremony often, so your land does not go cold and Olorun keeps giving it life» — for which he has to receive Oduduwa. Oduduwa stayed on living in that land so things would go right.
