Ogbe Tumako prospered and his elder brother plotted to ruin him. By heaven's order, he did not return evil for evil and did not act in anger; the brother died while trying to kill him, and he came to have a large family and prosperity.
Before coming into the world, Ogbe Tumako was warned that a brother would make trouble for him, but that if he resisted the urge to return evil for evil, he would be more prosperous than his brother. He made sacrifice, and the Awó hid a rod of virtues in his head.
In the world he became a famous Awó and a prosperous farmer, which earned him his elder brother's hatred. When his luck fell off, his Ifá reminded him not to take revenge and not to act in anger; he softened and went about his business quietly, while his brother turned the whole town against him.
On advice, he sacrificed a black she-goat to his Ifá and served Oggún. Not long after, the brother who was hunting him down to kill him died, and the people came back to him; he came to have several wives and children. The weight of death his brother had prepared, he carried himself.

El que alza agua en una batea plana está pidiendo que se le derrame por la cabeza. Y el mayor que siembra rencor deja a sus hijos recogiendo esa cosecha.
Beeni Coniri, ola coribee Oron ola eena sema teteri
Lo que soy hoy no me dice lo que seré mañana; ni él mismo sabe de antemano qué hará cuando amanezca.
