EJIOBGE – TWO BATTLES

Doubt
Rumbling
Bouncing is not forbidden

The quick is the lazy

They have their own unique ways of doing things.

It's because of the reason.

The truth is the truth

It is the truth that we will speak to Mòkín in the land of Ìrànjé

What kind of helper can be found among the people?

The pot that is filled will surely overflow.

They exchanged money.

They are going to the house

The charm for Ògo is weak.

The road is paved with stones leading to the path of prosperity.

They said that Ògo's humility will prevail.

 TWO WRITINGS

The moon does not give light, the sun does not shine, the stars are not bright.

gold is shining A divination for the pot On the day of the festival they said
The sacrifice was made for the child, and they said it should not be neglected. The offering was taken to the house.

The continuous process of connection, call it a cycle, follows a pattern, and it persists.

I am the son of my mother.

TWO RIVER
I love the lóló, the multitude of Àfebójo the great cure I consult for the core That you have not used

you do not rain, they say it must not rain raining, must not hear the time of sacrifice

The time of indifference The rain does not fall, the leaves do not accept The offering of sacrifice does not benefit anyone A time of indifference does not come.

Life is not short, but death is not far. We endure without dying, we do so without dying.
The top of Ikìlo: It is through Ifá that the wife and husband should not fight each other.

TWO KINGS

Orúnmìlà, Ifá I have become a seer Our generation is to unveil, We divined for Opà, That
It will be like the world if the great King is known, that is how it is that I acknowledge the knowledge of praise, that is how it is.

So Orúnmìlà, Ifá gave me the means to gather Ifá's wealth, so come and let me take care of it.

If you are the one who has the power, come and let it glorify the Spirit of the Awo.

My father, it is imperative that you come and help us solve this issue.

DREADFUL TONE

14
 The Orisha of the earth fought for the farm, and if the divination did not yield results, it would not be the farm of prosperity.

He is not to make a sacrifice so that he can even use the whole sofa to fight. He sacrifices, a lot of water, and he uses it.

Odidi àni is also known as the two Odu in the name of the cup of water. Odidi àni also performs Ofà.

The name you are calling is the child of Ifá, so we must make a sacrifice for the child. Ifá says to take this and go to a certain place.

How could it possibly affect you?

TWO OGUNDAS

̀ I wish to be free My words

This is a message from Ifá to Orunmila that will guide the son of the farmer towards a woman. It is not long, it is not far.

At the placé of wisdom, they will know how to fight. Theý followed
̀ Orunmila.
̀
Ọrúnmìlà advised them to come for advice to fight. They act with wisdom, but wisdom does not suffice.

It is Olokun who sees wisdom ́ ̀

Let us pray, so that we may have life and wisdom. Ifá says that there is something we are created for.

Your name: The essence of truth cannot be hidden.

The pot is heavy, but it is still (a pot)
The rain is pouring down, it is falling like a cloth,
It was Akon's turn on that day.
the matter is now under review.
If this Ifá says a person should be warned,
I said: one must not wear the cloak of the unknown.

̀ Orunmila has made a promise without fulfillment.

It is not that

It̀ is for two.

Their skin colors are unique, the thoughts that they bring vibrantly into the market are vibrant.
̀ ́
Their downfall is the result of the market downturn. They wake
́ up, but they do not see new wealth.
They said they should offer a sacrifice in performing their duty, they have made a sacrifice of good fortune.
́ ́ ́ ́ ́
We have not seen, a new economic prosperity has come in, we have experienced a time of abundance, a new economic prosperity.
The good child that we have not seen, the good child that has come in, we have been waiting for a long time.
