IFA To Overcome Death from OTURAOYEKU

To Overcome Death from OTURAOYEKU:

If a person is very sick and near death, one can avert untimely death by using this Akose Ifa.
Mark OTURAOYEKU in iyerosun in your left palm and recite the verse below into the iyerosun. Gently blow the iyerosun over the afflicted person’s head.
It takes only one year for the igun to develop a bald head
It takes three years for akala to develop a goiter in it’s neck
Ifa’s message for Otura
Who was going to use iyerosun to blow death away from the head of his dying in-law
He was advised to offer ebo
He complied
Which Otura are you referring to?
Otura who used iyerosun to restore honor

My Suffering Ends Today — Tomorrow My Life Will Be Convenient…

The Awo who is small and inexperienced, that is the Awo of today
The Awo who is matured and capable, that is the Awo of tomorrow
The banana tree lives by the stream and flourishes
The Awo of He-who-knows-today-and-tomorrow
Ifa’s declaration to My-suffering-will-end-today
Child of Agboniregun
When coming from Heaven to Earth
he was advised to offer Ebo
He heard and complied
Now, my suffering ends today
By tomorrow my things will be easy
My suffering ends today
Tomorrow my life will be convenient
If one staff is used to bead the Dundun drum
200 gongs will shake in the process
My suffering ends today
Tomorrow my life will be convenient

Ifa is Truly One’s Sympathizer…

Otura went to Ira but did not get there
Akoki went on a journey but never return
Truthfulness is more satisfying than lying
Ifa’s message for he who has relatives
And has family members
But who has no sympathizer
He was advised to offer ebo
He complied
There is no sympathizer as Olorun
Olorun is one’s sympathizer
There is no sympathizer as one’s Ori
One’s Ori is one’s sympathizer
There is no sympathizer as one’s Ifa
One’s Ifa is truly one’s sympathizer

We Pray from Sacred Odu Ifa Ejiogbe…

We pray from Sacred Odu Ifa Ejiogbe:
The spice of the vegetable is the name of IFA
Peace is the name of Ewe Tete
Mother Earth rejects force
She embraces meekness
Violence is no longer on Earth
There only remains peace
Cast Ifa for the Iroko tree in the wilderness
The one that was asked to fruit Okun Beads
And even brass ornaments
Iroko, please do not fruit violence and struggle
Peace is what Iroko has been ordained to produce

Eríwo Yà! Eríwo Yà!! Eríwo Yà!!!

Eríwo Yà! Eríwo Yà!! Eríwo Yà!!!

Erin wó
Àjànàkú sùn bí òkè
Lójú Olúgbọ̀n, bí i kí Orò má lọ
Lójú Arẹ̀ṣà, bí i kí Orò má lọ
Agbe dáró tán, Agbe ń lọ
Àlùkò kosùn tán, Àlùkò ń relé
Oyèwùsì Àmọ̀ó Fákáyọ̀dé ṣe tán, ó ń relé Ifẹ̀

An elephant has fallen
Left alone to Olúgbọn, it was as if Orò should not disappear
In the mind of Arẹṣà, it was as if Orò should stay till eternity
The blue touraco bird has finished making dye and gone
The purple touraco bird after making the camwood has dispersed
Oyèwùsì Àmọó Fákáyodé has finished his assignment in this terrestrial space, he is now transitioning to the celestial realm

With gratitude to Olódùmarè for the life well spent, we announce the transition of our father, the Patriarch of the Oyèkúnlé family of Oníbùdó Compound, Ìbàdàn, the Baálẹ̀ of Àlàdé Town, Ìbàdàn and the Àràbà/Olú-Ìṣẹ̀ṣe of Ìbàdàn land who joined the ancestors today Thursday, 28th November, 2019 around 11:30 am after 18 hours illness at the ripe age of 105.

Ẹlẹ́yẹlé
Aládìyẹ
Àmọ̀ó tí di awo ilẹ̀ mìíràn

Both sellers and buyers of pigeons
Both sellers and buyers of fowls
Àmọ̀ó has become priest in another realm

Kò pé òun ò ṣe mọ́
Ikú ló yọwọ́ rẹ̀ nínú àwo
Àgbà Ìṣògbó fọwọ́ okùn lélẹ̀ o

He did not withdraw consciously
It was death who removed his hands from the plate
An elderly priest has laid down his hand-decorated with okùn beads

Burial arrangements will be announced soon.

Signed:
Fayemi Fatunde Fakayode
For the family
