Awó Mayere wagered against the Obá's favorite over who could bring more people out into the street without blood running; with Eshu Bi and Shangó as his allies he won by being intelligent, riding his young bull, and inherited the throne.
Prayer: Adifafun Awo Malu Mayere Sokin Imbowa Ni Olofin Unlo Ni Ile Awo Belegun Oyu Miniosi Orunmila Un Soro Kowa Dudu Igbo Eshu Bi Ini Fila Foribale Awo Delele Oba Awo Mayere Odun Awo Malu Ade Oba Orisha Aso Oba Ilu Lodafun Orunmila Maferefun Eshu.
Ebbó: a young bull (replaced by an inshé of malú), akukó, a white cap, a cowbell, ekú, eyá, otí, every kind of food, opolopo owó.
There was an Awó called Awó Mayere who lived in a place where he did not prosper; he wanted to leave and could not. He went to see Orunmila, who saw this Ifá for him — which was his own Odù — and marked him ebbó with a young bull, a rooster, a white cap, ekú, eyá and gbogbo otí, and told him to take it to the place he wanted to go.
When he reached the place he met Eshu Bi, who lived in the bush. The Awó had a cap and Eshu asked him for it; Awó Mayere gave him moforibale and Eshu Bi asked what brought him there, and he explained. Just then the Obá's favorite passed with his following, and Eshu Bi told him he was a wrestler, the Obá's favorite, and that nobody beat him. The Awó answered that he would like to wrestle with him. Eshu Bi said: «Come, I will introduce you to my friend Shangó», and Shangó approved of the idea.
The next day Awó Mayere went with Eshu Bi to the Obá's house to arrange the contest, which was that whoever brought more people out into the street without blood running for fifteen days would win the prize.
The first to go out was the Obá's favorite. Eshu Bi also went out into the street: on the corner he found ekú, eyá and awadó, further on otí, and when Eshu Bi reached the café a great fight broke out. Many times the obiní left their household work to see the Obá's favorite, and disasters broke out with their husbands, sometimes to the point of blood running. So it went on, until the Obá told his favorite: «Do not go out any more, because too much blood has been spilled.»
Afterward Awó Mayere went out with the young bull through the streets, at midnight, like a bolt of lightning: he went so fast that nobody could see him. The people were bewildered by the noise in the night, since nobody could see who it was; even the Obá himself began to be alarmed.
Then Mayere went out into the street riding the young bull, very slowly and in broad daylight. The crowd that followed him was endless, without any misfortune or accident among the people of the town. And that is how he won the wager, by being the most intelligent, and the Obá rewarded him by making him his successor on the throne.
Note: it is an Ifá of inheritance; the ankle rattle is born; a change of lerí; the beasts and the cows were tamed. Wear a red and black cap and set a cowbell behind the door. Work: a young bull to Shangó at the riverbank; the Ogue are loaded. It is born that Awoses and Santeros do not sit in parks.
