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.
Awó Akua Roro lived in the land of Ayegbi Oshe with his 7 children, people who were never satisfied no matter how much their father tried to give them all they wanted. Their future had him worried, and his only recourse was to beg Oduduwa to bring them together, so they would be saved and have a good life in the future.
Each time he set out sara ekó for him and prayed this way: "Oduduwa ori maya ofoyude omo lekun Awo Akua Roro sokun Baba". Oduduwa would come and say to him: "Do not worry, your children are going to come together". And the man would answer: "I am sick in the heart and in the head, and my waist hurts a lot; and when I die, I have nobody to hand my secret to, because my children each live their own way".
One day when they were together, Oduduwa decided: "Let us go to Orunmila's house (Awó Buyoko Awalele Ifá), to see if he can finally solve your problem". They set out walking, and along the road they went singing: "Ifa layeo Ifa layekun Baba Olorun, Awo Akuaroro Awo Buyoko iran lowo lemi".
On arriving, Awó Buyoko gave him the task: "You have to feed Olorun, so your land grows strong and your children obey you". Awó Akua Roro drew on the ground a circle of efún and orí, placed the Ifá board there, divided it into four parts with the Meyi, and sang to it: "Ogba de nifa Oddun bowa omo oyu opon Baba Eyiogbe Oddun bowa".
In the center of Baba Ejiogbe, over the mark of Ika Otura, he set a gourd of cow's milk with sara ekó, orí and efún; he put his loose Ifá on top of it on the board, lit 16 candles and, playing the agogó, began to call Olorun: "Olorun ogdobale Baba Olofin, Olorun ladeo Ifa laye Baba ni Olorun, Baba ashe omo layereo, Baba Olorun Olofin layereo".
Olorun came, and there he gave him two white doves and two white hens, while he sang: "Abele bele adie Ifa sinifikura bobao, Orunmila abele adie Ifa sinifikura".
Oduduwa gathered all that together, covered it with white cloth and carried it up 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".
By the power of Olorun, that land gained strength: the children corrected their conduct, they came closer to one another and nobody could beat them any more.
That is how the father lost the distress he carried over the future of his own people, and he got to live in peace and with more strength. Awó Buyoko and Oduduwa charged him: "You have to do this ceremony often, so your land does not go cold and Olorun keeps giving it life" — where he also has to receive Oduduwa, who stayed living in that land so everything would go well.
Note: through this Ifá the Babalawos must come together to reach the iré ashegun otá.
