Oshún, Ogún and the other Santos accused Orunmila before Olofin of the misfortunes of humankind; Orunmila showed that in every ebbó he marked animals so the Santos would eat them and not people — and Olofin cleared him.
All the Santos, above all Oshún and Ogún, greatly envied Orunmila and went to Obatalá to complain, and he sent Elegbá to fetch Orunmila.
But Orunmila had been read that day and had seen this Ifá, and when they came for him he took his ekuele and, on arriving, found Olofin surrounded by all the Santos, each of them accusing him of the misfortune humankind was going through. When they had all finished accusing him, Olofin asked Orunmila whether he had anything to say, and Orunmila answered: «All that they say about me is a lie, my Father, since every time I work with this ekuele or with Ifá, in every ebbó that is marked there is a goat, a rooster, a ram and so on, which I do not eat, and yet the Santos do.» He then marked those animals in the ebboses so that the Santos, instead of eating people, would eat those animals.
So Orunmila proved before the Eternal Father that he saved the world from destruction. Olofin, seeing this proof of intelligence, cleared him of the Santos' accusations.
Note: you can be accused out of envy before your elders. In this Odù no ebbó is made; the Awoses have to keep everything they do carefully in writing.
