v. To lay more emphasis on Temples as against individuals

vi. To train all members on iwa pele in order for them to be closer to Olodumare in all their
thoughts, speeches and actions;

vii. To ensure that all attending Temple members are role models who will become shining
examples for the general public at large

viii. To socialize the young ones on the proper ways of being socially acceptable members of
their communities
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.

THE MAIN MESSAGES OF OSA OTURA (OSA ALAWO)

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:

shall succeed and be well accomplished. Ifa advises us to be truthful at all times. Ifa warns that
many people will conspire against us and distance themselves from us but our truth shall
prevail. There is the need for us to offer ebo with four pigeons, four guinea-fowls, four
roosters, two ducks, eight rats, eight fish, and money. On this Ifa says:

3. Ifa says that at all times all members of various temples and Ifa/Orisa based establishments
must distinguish themselves by speaking the truth at all time. On no condition must they be
seen telling lies or trying to be dubious in any of their undertakings. Ifa says that truthfulness
will make them to be closer to Olodumare. This is because it is the truth that Olodumare used
in founding and administering the world. All Ifa/Orisa devotees must therefore be seen to be
speaking the truth at all times.

The ebo here is for all devotees to restrain from falsehood and uphold the truth at all times.

Osa Alawo ni kinni nje otito

Otito, truth is the hierophant in heaven protecting the world

Otito is the wisdom that Olodumare is using

Osa Alawo asked what is Otito, Truth

I chorused what is Otito, Truth

Orunmila declares that Otito is the character of Olodumare

Otito is the word that never changes

Ifa is Otito , the Truth

Otito is the word that can never spoil

Otito is the power that is more powerful than all other powers

The everlasting Ire was the message given to the world

When they were advised to be speaking the truth

Be truthful, be honest

Be honest, be truthful

Those who are truthful will receive the support of the divinities

4. Ifa says that as long as we remain truthful and honest, Ifa will give us abundant blessing.
Those who are our antagonist will continue to wonder without comprehending the source of
success and achievement. Ifa advises each temple to offer ebo with four pigeons, four roosters
and money. Each temple also needs to feed Ifa with one guinea fowl. On this, Ifa says:

Efirin ojaja

Ojaja Efinrin

My life is bound to be good

5. Ifa says that our success will come and meet us at our presence domicile. Ifa assures us that
we do not need to shift our area of abode or travel to another community before success can
come to us. Ifa says that our life will be so interesting and so rewarding that the whole world
will recognize our success. When people leave there communities in search of greener
pastures, we do not need to leave our base, all the good things of lives will be coming to look
for us. Ifa advises us to offer ebo with four pigeons, four hens and money. We also need to
feed Ifa with one pigeon and one hen. On this, Ifa says:

Orunmila please do not let me wander to other lands

6. Ifa says that there is the need to improve communication among all Temples. There must be
more business transactions among all Ifa/Orisa devotees in order to promote sustainable
wealth among members. We also need to improve our public relations, that transacting
business with each other are our sure source of prosperity. Therefore, there is the need for us
to move closer and interact with people that matter within our community in order to enhance
our success chances. Ifa says that we should not rely on special devices to reach the top. It is
good public relations that will take us to the apex of our chosen career. Ifa advises us to offer
ebo with three pigeons, two roosters and money. We also need to feed Ifa. On this, Ifa says:

7. Ifa says that in all our dealings with one another and with the general public at large we
must never swear on anyone, we must never curse anyone, we must be found to be blessing
people in our community and outside. Those who are fund of using harsh language against
their children, their siblings, their friends and their spouses must stop. Ifa advises each temple
to cleanse all negative utterances with Omi Ero and feed Esu with one mature he-goat. On this,
Ifa says:

Atanpako lo da duro

and money. After the ebo, we need to use all these materials to feed Ifa. If we do this
regularly, longevity is assured. On this, Ifa says:

9. Ifa says that it foresees victory for us all. There is going to be a lot of oppositions in the next
one year. Ifa however assures us that all the evil designs shall return to those planning them.
Ifa advises us to offer ebo of victory with one mature he-goat and money. The he-goat will be
slaughtered and then one of the forelimbs will be placed on Esu. On this, Ifa says:

overcome all his enemies

Apa a ke sansa

10. Ifa advises leaders in each Temple, Ile, establishments, foundations etc that are Ifa/Orisa
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:

Agbo nii ja toun tiwo

Dia fun Orunmila

Ti yoo we gbogbo jangbonjagbon Ori re sori Esu

11. Ifa says that this period may be very tough for most Temples. With time however, they will
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:

12. Ifa says that many enemies will rise up in arms against us in the next 12 months. These
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:
