Obatalá, ill, sent his son Aruñiña to Orunmila, who revealed that the son was the cause of his sickness and had to leave alone. The son went, stealing his savings, threw the money away with Eyo and ended up in jail. Obatalá threw him out, cursing him to spend his life in prisons.
Being sick, Obatalá sent his son Aruñiña in his place to Orunmila, who saw this Odù for him and explained that he was the cause of his father's illness and that Obatalá would only get well if the boy left the house, though he had to go alone so as not to get into trouble. The son decided to leave, but first he stole all his father's savings and went to a far land, where he became friends with Eyo and with him wasted what he had stolen.
It did not take long for him to get into trouble and he ended up in the hands of the law. Meanwhile Obatalá got well and went to thank Orunmila, who told him: "I did not send him anything; check your belongings, and when your son comes back in trouble, do not let him in, for it will cost you your life." When he checked, Obatalá found that the savings were missing, and when the son came back he threw him out of the house with pain in his soul, laying this curse on him: "As long as the world is the world, you will always be in jails and prisons."
