and character. He/she needs to propitiate his/her Ori regularly and at
the same time, he/she needs to identify a friend who is after his/her
progress all the time. Ifa advises this person to offer ebo with one
matured he-goat and money. He/she also needs to feed his Ori with one
duck. On this, Ifa says:
Ofun bala je
O loun tala se ni
Dia fun Baaje-baaje
Dia fun Tunnise-tunnise
Ebo ni won ni ki won waa
se
Tunnise nikan nibe leyin
tin sebo
Bi Abanije ti n bani je
Bee l’Atunnise si n tunni
se
Translation
Ofun spoils the white
clothe
But claims to be
repairing the clothe
Ifa’s message for
Baaje-baaje, the Spoiler
And also for
Tunnise-tunnise, the Mender
They were advised to
offer ebo
Only Tunnise complied
As the spoiler continues
to spoil one’s character
So also is the mender
continues to mend one’s character
