IKA OGBE

1. Ifa says that as you will be having victory from Ogun so also will Ifa be
protecting you against all the evil imaginations of your enemies. No matter
the efforts of your enemies to bring you down or destroy you they will fail
and then frustration will be their gain. Ifa advises you to offer ebo with
three roosters, three hens, eight rats, eight fish and money. You also need
to feed Ifa with four rats, four fish and one hen. On this, Ifa says:
Ika gbe mi n o joba Ila
Ika o gbe mi, n o joba Ila
Ika gbe mi, Ika o gbe mi
N o je Oloja kan banta-banta
Dia fun Orunmila
Ifa nbe nirangun ota omo araye
Ifa ji, Ia nfi ojoojumo kominu ogun
Ebo ni won ni ko waa se
O gbebo, o rubo
Ko pe, ko jinna
E wa ba ni laruuse ogun
Ajase ogun lawa wa
Translation
If wickedness supports me, I will become the Oba of Ila
If wickedness fails to support me, I will become the Oba of Ila
Whether wickedness supports me or not, I will become a market leader of
great importance
Ifas message for Orunmila
When he was in the midst of enemies
And he woke up in constant fear of uprising
He was advised to offer ebo
He complied
Before long, not too far
Join us in the midst of victory
In the midst of victory is where we reside

2. Ifa says that a time will come in your life when you will be having grudges
against Ifa because some of the things that you are asking from Ifa have not
manifested. Ifa says that keeping grudges against Ifa will not help you to
achieve your heart desire. Rather, you need to offer ebo that will accelerate
the manifestation of your heart desire. And you also need to offer ebo so
that Ifa will forgive you over your reaction against Ifa. There is the need for
you to offer ebo with two hens and money. After this, you will dig a hole of
about 12 inch long, 6inch dip, and 4 inch wide. You will place your Ikin
inside the hole that you have dug. You will feed Ifa inside the hole there
with kolanut and one hen. You will cover the hole with sand. On the
seventh day, you will go and remove the Ikin inside the hole and cast it
again. You will then offer the ebo that Ifa recommends in the Odu that was
revealed. Doing this will make Ifa to forgive completely and at the same
time to ensure that your prayers are answered. On this, Ifa says:

Ika gbe mi n o joba Ila

Ika o gbe mi, n o joba Ila
Dia fun Orunmila
Tohun akapoo re jo nse egbe nu
Ebo ni won ni ko waa se
O gbebo, o rubo

Ko le ba gbeni gbooro
Translation
If wickedness supports me, I will become the Oba of Ila

Ifas message for Orunmila
When he and his Akapo were keeping malice
He was advised to offer ebo

Ifa advises us to propitiate our Ikin in an elongated manner
So that it will give us an elongated support

3. Ifa says that a time is coming in your life when you are going to become the
most influential among your friends, family members and close community.
That is the time that you need to continue to offer ebo so that your life will
not be terminated prematurely. For this reason, Ifa advises you to offer ebo
with one matured he-goat and money. This ebo is meant for you to continue
to be the umbrella that will cover those who are close to you and give them
sanctuary. Ifa says that if you should die many people will suffer. That is
why you must protect your life, if not because of yourself but for the sake of
those who are close to you. On this, Ifa says:

4. Ifa says that it is a serious taboo to attend any funeral ceremony. It is also a
taboo for you to cry when anybody dies no matter how close the person
maybe to you. Ifa says that if you must cry it must be inside your own
house, you must not cry in the house of the departed because it will lead to
serious misfortune for you. Ifa also says that if there is any form of anger
you must always listen to appeal as soon as you are begged. If you refuse
to accept the plea of those begging you it may lead to a situation where you
will be removed among the community of society. On this, Ifa says:
Ba ti lowo lowo mo laa yanko mo
Iwon taa mo laa jabula

forest

5. Ifa assures that you shall perform wonders in your life. Ifa says that all the
great things of life that you achieve will never get spoiled when you are still
alive. For this reason, Ifa advises you to continue to offer ebo to prevent a
situation where any event, thing or person will be the cause of your
achievement in life being spoiled for you. Ifa advises you to offer ebo with
two pigeons, two roosters and money. On this, Ifa says:

wicked persons profession or that of someone who loves to inflict pains or
discomfort on other people. Ifa advises you to offer ebo with three pigeons,
three hens, three guinea-fowls, three roosters and money. On this, Ifa says:

7. Ifa reiterates the fact that your success will come from a seemingly wicked
act or profession. You will succeed beyond your wildest dream if you offer
ebo the appropriate ebo in this stanza. Ifa advises you to offer ebo with one
matured he-goat, seven pebbles, two batons and money. You need to throw
the seven pebbles either at a market place or where there is a crowd of
people such as a stadium, rally or procession. On this, Ifa says:
