The Odu revealed was Osa Alawo (Osa Otura). It came with the ire of longevity. For all those
who are born by this Odu either during Ikosedaye or Itenifa, there is the need for you to feed
your Ifa with two obi, two orogbo, oti, epo and food. There is also the need to gather people
together to celebrate with you. You also need to resolve all outstanding issues that may lead
to quarrel or misunderstanding, if any, and allow peace and harmony to reign. By so doing,
plenty of ire leading to self-actualization, peace of mind, comfort and elevation are
guaranteed.
There is the need for each member of the various Temples and other Ifa/Orisa based Houses of
Worship to procure one dead eku emo, brown rat. Cut a little hair from your head and fix it
inside the rat. After doing this, throw the rat on the roof of your Temple or place of worship. If
this is not possible, throw it on the roof of your house, place of work or on top of Esu. Doing
this will guarantee longevity, peace and harmony.
All Temples do not need to offer all the prescribed ebo in this Odu. Please study the messages
very carefully and offer the ebo that are directly relevant to the prevailing circumstances of
your various Temples or Houses of Worship. The ebo can therefore be offered as a group,
although it does not stop any individual who feels like offering the ebo on his own from doing
so.
1. Ifa says that all members of the various Temples and Houses of Worship shall live fulfilled
lives. They will have cause to celebrate their success and shall not regret in their lives. Ifa
assures us that all what we lack shall be given to us with ease. Ifa says that we shall not be
denied and good things of life. As long as we desire those things and they are beneficial to us,
we shall be given. Ifa advises each House Of Worship to offer ebo with eight rats, eight fish,
eight pigeons, eight hens, eight guinea-fowls, eight roosters and money. on this, Ifa says:

based to feed their Ori with one mature ram, eight coconuts and money. Ifa says that many
things that their Houses of Worship know nothing about are going to be heaped on your
heads. For that reason, these leaders need to offer this ebo so that Esu will help to remove all
this trouble from your heads. The ram will be slaughtered on the head of the leader and the
blood will be drained on their head in front of Esu. they will then use soap mixed with
Alupaida leaves together with coconut juice to wash their head. This washing will be done on
Esu. If the coconut juice is not sufficient to wash out the soap and blood, more water can be
used to wash the head. On this, Ifa says:

be on sound footings and they will be able to assert their individual and collective authorities.
Ifa says that these Temples will be respected, honored and adored. Ifa compared the present
situations of these Temples with the time that a ram is about to cut its horns. At that time, the
ram will fall sich, weak and tired. As soon as the horns came out, the ram can no longer be
bullied by anyone. Ifa advises each Temple facing this type of challenges to offer ebo with
three roosters and money. On this, Ifa says:

enemies will try all they know to run us down or to close down our places of worship. Ifa
assures us that they will fail. This is because Orunmila himself will rise up in our support and
ensure that these enemies are incapacitated. Ifa advises us to offer ebo with one bearded he-
goat and money. We also need to feed Ifa with a mature pig. On this, Ifa says:
