Odi Oro, a cruel Awó, made his wife Yekun, daughter of Inle, suffer. Her tears in the river turned her into the water flower and into a spirit. He cursed her, and his own curses left him blind; once he repented, she forgave him and handed him the secret of Ojuero to get his sight back.
In the land of Obá Oju Inle there lived an Awó named Odi Oro, who gave himself over to doing harm: for money he was capable of the cruelest thing, and everyone hated him. He lived with Yekun, daughter of Inle, who loved him dearly but suffered far too much, and every day she went to the riverbank to weep over her misfortune, telling it all to Inle and to Olofin without ever asking for anything bad to come to him, because deep down she loved him.
One day her tears turned, in the water of the river, into beautiful plants flowering white and lilac, and out of them rose a shimmering figure: «I am Ina, the ancestral spirit of your father Inle; I am tired of watching you suffer so». She drew Yekun into the river, singing, and told her that from then on no one would see her or make her suffer: she would stand for her father and for herself on earth, and the water flower would be the image of her spirit. When Odi Oro learned what had happened, he went to the river to curse her, but his own curses caught him and he was left blind. Feeling his way, he made Osode, saw his Odù and wept bitterly over all the harm he had done. Yekun's spirit, seeing that he was truly sorry, forgave him and handed him the secret of Ojuero to get his sight back; Ina blessed him and consecrated him. From that day on, Odi Oro gave up doing harm and devoted himself to healing his fellow men, carrying what is good through every land.
