You are the light
I am the light
When it is first appearing in the sky
But the people thought it was already daybreak
Cast Ifa for the fish
Offspring of the river’s bed
Fish was told to perform sacrificial rituals
They said that fish would have many children
But she was warned to perform sacrifice to prevent the attacks of human beings
She refused to comply
She said it is not possible for her enemies
To see her children at the river’s bed
She took the Ifa priests as liars
She called Esu a thief
She looked fearfully to the Heavens as if she will never die
She turned a deaf ear to the warnings to make sacrificial rite
When human beings go up
The took hoe, cutlass, and a big calabash
They dammed the river
And drained off the water
When there was no water left to cover fish and her children
Human beings took them
And put them on top of pounded yam
It was the commandment of Esu
Which prevented the complete annihilation of all fish species from the earth.
With the making of Ebo, the Irunmole will protect us and our children. Ase Olodumare
