SPIRITUAL MESSAGE OF IFA FROM DIVINATION PROCESS FOR YEAR 2021.

ABORU ABOYE ‼️

DIVINATION ODU: The odu Ifa that came out for this year 2021 is OBARAIRETE. 

The odu came with Ire Aiku, (long life) and ebo (Ritual) is recommended to acquire it. Ifa Priests from Nigeria, Republic of Benin, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, Germany, United States of America, Brazil, Venezuela and Cuba all made their contributions. The verses of OBARAIRETE recited with their narratives are as follows:

MESSAGE FROM "OBARAIRETE"

1.

Ifa says everybody should take good care of his or her child\children or family (spiritual/biological) before considering teddy or toys. This is because, this year, one’s relation to human being will yield profits than ones relations with teddy or toys. It is said that the future will be determined by the quality of the human beings/resources. To make the future promising for one’s children or relatives, Ifa has recommended ebo with 4 rats, 4 fish, 4 hens, kola nuts, pap, palm oil, gin and money. After the ebo, Ifa will be appeased. On this, Ifa says:

Benu ni won pe oka

Benu n laa pe ere

A difa fun Alaso dudu janjan oke apa

To fomo tie sile laipon

To n pon molubi oni molubi kiri

Awogingi o se gbaragada ka fi rina damodun

Omo eni ni dingi eni

Benu is the name we call cobra

Benu is the name we call python

Ifa revelation to the owner of black cloth on the hill of Apa

Who left her child uncared for

And was caring for another person’s child

Mirror cannot be large for one to see the future

One’s child is one’s mirror for the future

2.

This year, many barren will become parents. They should not be too conscious of their dressing or beauty. Ifa says the barren should not look at the mirror. Any woman who is longing for a child need to make ebo with 4 rats, 4 fish, 4 hens, a goat, kola nuts, gin, palm oil, pap and money. On this, Ifa says:

E ku ana

E ku oni

Aifeniiki ni e ku ijeta o se kira eni

E ku ana lo dun adunju

A difa fun Adeyokun

To n moju ekun sogbere omo

Awojiiji o se feregede

Ka fi rina amodun

Omo eni ni jingi eni

How was yesterday

How was today

It is in attempt not to greet that we say “how was day before yesterday” is not good to say

However, how was yesterday is better

Ifa revelation to Adeyokun

When longing for children

The mirror cannot be large enough

For one to see the future through it

One’s child is one’s mirror

3.

There is fortune for immigrants this year. People who are planning to travel from one place to the other for work or businesses will prosper. The Ifa/Orisa priests who travel to another city/country to do their work need to make ebo to profit over their spiritual job. Ifa has advised inhabitants of each place to trust the outsiders/foreigners who come to their place. This is because, all that the strangers do for the inhabitants will be effective. Ebo to make by anybody who intends to travel includes 16 pigeons, honey, gin, kola nuts, palm oil and money. A goat will also be sacrificed to Ifa. On this, Ifa says:

Ibinni nile aje

Irada nile omokun

Ibi o gbe sunwon la n boyinde

A difa fun Orunmila

Baba n sawo rode Eto Gege

Alade, o de rere! Obararete, abisawo jingbinni

Ibini is the home of wealth

Irada is the home of valuable beads

It is in a comfortable place that we find oyinde beads

Ifa revelation to Orunmila

When he was going to the City of Eto Gege

Alade, you are welcome! Obararete the successful priest

4.

Still about the travelers, Ifa says they will be successful wherever they go. Also, they will return safely. Ogun should be appeased before embarking on the journey for a safe return which Ifa has promised. The items to sacrifice are a dog, 3 cocks, palm oil, kola nuts, gin, pap and money. Ogun will be appeased with the dog. On this, Ifa says:

Afebo riru boju iku

Afetutu barun mole

A difa fun Orunmila

Baba n sawo relu Etomini

Awa yun rere

Awa bo rere

A yin Obara

A yin Irete

He who uses ebo to cover death

He who uses rituals to cover disease

Ifa revelation to Orunmila

When he was going to the City of Etomini

We have gone well

We have returned well

We praise Obara

We give appreciation to Irete

5.

For those who are longing for wives, Ifa says they should be generous. Those who are generous to people will find good wives while those who are stingy may find it difficult to find good wives, if not find wives at all. Also, single men should always have food at home. Besides home, they should always give food to those who visit them in their places of work. Ebo to be made by anybody who is longing for a wife includes 4 pigeons, honey, eggs, gin, kola nuts and money. On this, Ifa says:

Yangi abori kugu

A difa fun Olobara

To n lo ree dako si eba ona

Ebo ni won ni o se

O gbebo nibe o rubo

Ero Ipo, ero Ofa

Aya wa wole to wa beerere

Yangi abori kugu

Cast Ifa for Olobara

Who was going to have a farm beside the road

He was advised to make ebo

He complied

All and sundry

Many wives have come to marry us in our house

6.

It is forbidden for any woman who is longing for a child to adorn her buttocks with beads. Ifa says the beads will prevent her from getting pregnant. Any woman in this situation should sacrifice 4 rats, 4 fish, 4 hens and money. After the ebo, if she has beads on her waist, she will remove it and put it on Esu. On this, Ifa says:

Pankere teere awo inu igbo

Eesun wowo awo egi

A difa fun Olasunmisokun

To n moju ekun sogbere omo

Ebo ni won ni ko se

O ko bee ni ko ru

Opolopo ileke ni ko je ki Olasunmisokun o bimo

Pankere teere awo inu igbo

Eesun wowo awo egi

Cast Ifa for Olasunmisokun

When longing for children

She was asked to make ebo

She refused

Too much adornment of beads made Olasunmisokun infertile

7.

Still on the issue of child bearing, the barren need to make ebo with 4 fish, 4 rats, 4 hens and a goat. The goat will be sacrificed to Ifa. Any woman who is longing for a child should always stay or live in a cool place. She should not expose herself to heat or hot weather too much. This is because heat or hot weather can lead to miscarriage. On this, Ifa says:

Eda omo odo ni foju joke

Adifa fun Esin-in

Ti n re isale abata

Ti n lo ree kanrile omo ni bibi

Eropo tofa

E bani ni wowo omo

Eda omo odo ni foju joke

Cast Ifa for Esin-in

Who was going to the swampy area

In order to become the parent of many children

All and sundry

Come and meet us amidst children

8.

Ifa warns married women against adultery. There is danger in involving in extra marital affair because, when the secret is exposed, this may lead to the woman being put out of the marital home. Also, married women should be careful not to play too much with men in a place where they fetch, sell or buy water. This is because; their husband may take it to be something that it is not. On the other hand, men should also cease from playing too much with married women. On this, Ifa says:

Benu ni won pe oka

Benu n laa pe ere

A difa fun Aasemoga mogamoga

Ti saya Agbonmireguin

Aase mogamoga oo seni

Aase mogamoga oo seniyan

Aase mogamoga! Emi lo wodo wa doko se?

Benu is the name we call cobra

Benu is the name we call python

Ifa revelation to Aase mogamoga

Who was a wife of Orunmila

Aase mogamoga you are not good

Aase mogamoga you are not humane

Aase mogamoga! Why have you come to the river to commit adultery?

9.

Obarairete warns married women to be humble and submissive to the husband. If they are not, this may lead to divorce. Also, there might be regret after such divorce and this may lead such woman to living in abject poverty for long. Furthermore, it may be difficult to get any good husband after the divorce. On the other hand, Ifa has promised any woman who is humble and submissive happiness and profits. On this, Ifa says:

Orunmila ni bojumo ba ti mo

Keni o maa ki oko eni

Obirin ti oo ba bosi ku

Bo ba ti ji

Wiworoko ni maa woroko oju soko

Obirin ti oo ba boro ku

Bo ba ti ji

Owo pete owo pete ni maa n te soko

A difa fun Birawo aya Orunmila

Sugbon o ko nii ribi ire fidi ka

O ko si nii ribi kan a a gbe

Aya fi bo o ba pada to o fefa

Orunmila said when it is morning

Let us greet our husbands

The woman that will die wretched

When she wakes up

She frowned at the husband

The woman that will live and die comfortably

When she wakes up

She greets the husband with humility

Ifa revelation to Birawo, a wife of Orunmila

Who discarded Ifa and said she would never return to Ifa

Birawo!

You are going away

You will not die

You will not fall sick

However, you will not find a comfortable home to settle

You will never find a suitable place to live

Unless you come back to settle with Ifa

10.

This year, there will be a lot of wars against many countries. The army of each country will surely overpower the rebels. Ebo should be made to ensure the victory. The items to sacrifice are 3 he-goats, 3 cocks, palm oil, gin, pap and money. On this, Ifa says:

Ela pinpin

A difa fun enlojo eso

Won n rogun Ojonlo

Ebo lawo ni won o se

11.

For long life and sickness, ebo needs to be made with 3 cocks, 3 big rats, one’s used cloth, palm oil, a club and money. On this, Ifa says:

Obara reterete

A difa fun Oka, omo elewu pabo

O fi eti otun gbebo

He heard the recommended ebo with its right ear

It threw away the advice through the left ear

Don’t you see the manifestation of the Ifa recited by the priest

12.

For safety, business people who travel every day to their place of work or shops, there is a need to sacrifice a he-goat, palm oil, a calabash, a clay plate, a big rat and money. On this, Ifa says:

Paafaa teere

A difa fun Ologbo

Ti n rebi atokedoke

He complied and his ebo is accepted

What has rescued Ologbo, the cat, from evil?

A calabash of palm oil and a plate of blood

Are the things which rescued Ologbo, the cat from evil

13.

This odu seriously warns against divorce. It warns especially the wives of Ifa/Orisa priests not to consider divorce this year. On this, Ifa reiterates:

Yangi abori kugu

A difa fun Barawe

Ti saya Orunmila

Eyi to n sagidi osi soko re

Barawe! Bo ba ko Orunmila sile

Boya lo le roko rere fe mo

Yangi abori kugu

Cast Ifa for Barawe

Who was a wife of Orunmila

Who was being stubborn to her husband

Barawe! If you divorce Orunmila

It is uncertain for you to get another husband

14.

Sanponna should be appeased so that there will be no disease. Also, anybody that is travelling should be careful of what he eats or drinks. The hygiene of the place one travels to should also be taken into consideration. The ebo to make here include banana, palm oil, snails, shea butter, paps, boiled corn, pop corn and money. On this, Ifa says:

Obara oo rote

Mo rote n o sa

Mo maro lowo mi otun

Mo mu aaja lowo mi osi

Mo papo o ro janganjangan

Eni ti yoo wodo lominu n ko

Obara, do not you see conspiracy

I see conspiracy but I do not panic

I hold musical rattle in my right hand

I hold Orisa rattle in my left hand

I combined them to make melodious sound

The river does not panic

Those who want to step into the river are the ones to panic

Ifa revelation to Orunmila

When he was going to the City of Igodo

Ifa revelation to Esu Odara

When he was going to the city of Ajannagi

They were told to make ebo for them not to meet a mightier force

Esu Odara, you have not acted well

Esu Odara, you have not done good at all

You should not have postponed making the ebo of Sanponna till the next day

15.

This year, Opele should be used often when making ebo especially for the sick. Ifa has confirmed the effectiveness of making ebo with Opele throughout this year. This does not mean we should not use Ikin and Ifa tray to divine or make ebo. But whenever ebo is to be done for a sick person, Opele is advisable. Also, those who are sick should sacrifice a he-goat, a big rat, palm oil, pap and money. On this, Ifa says:

Iroke o ku mofe

Irukere odo yere

Patako o ku ijokoo laafin oba

Ota inu omi ni o dekun gbedegbede ni ririn

A difa Opele

To n sawo rele Onitagi

Horse tail I salute you “odo yeere”

Stool, I greet you as you sit in the palace

The stone inside the water does not stop being wet

Ifa revelation to Opele

Who was going to the house of Onitagi

Opele, the priest in the City of Itagi

Cast Ifa for the king of Itagi when he was sick

When he was unable to stand up

Opele, who has no Ifa powder

Just shake its body on the ebo

And place its two feet on the ebo

16.

For long life, we need to make sacrifice with 3 cocks, a chick, palm oil, pap and money. After making the ebo, we will leave the chick in a place where hawk will carry it. On this, Ifa says:

Ajikoro dide

Okunrun eko o tepa

A difa fun Orunmila

Nijo irere n ge gbogbo ori Irunmole kaye

Asa lo gbawo ladiye lo

Gbogbo ajogun ibi

E rokeere fefe e lo ree se si si

To wake up healthy

A sick earth worm employs walking stick to be able to walk

It is hawk that has carried away priest’s fowl

All evil forces

Go to a very far place to fight

Evil forces have flew afar

17.

Ifa has assured all his followers of victory. We need to make ebo with a he-goat, 3 cocks, palm oil, 3 big rats, pap and money. On this, Ifa says:

18.

Still on victory over enemies, Ifa has assured his followers that no enemy will have power over them. Ebo should be made with 2 hens, 2 guinea fowls, 2 pigeons, kola nuts, honey and money. After the ebo, Osun, Oba, Olokun, Olosa and Yemoja will be appeased. On this, Ifa says:

Obara reterete awo Omi

A difa fun Omi

Ebo ni won ni o se

O gbebo o rubo

E baa bu u siwa

Ki e bu u seyin

Obara reterete the priest of Omi

Cast Ifa for Omi, the water

When it was amidst enemies

It was advised to make ebo

It complied

Whether you fetch water in front

Whether you fetch water from the back

Water will never feel the impact

19.

This year, we should make sure we greet our Ifa/Orisa every morning. And when we are doing this, we need to put our head down to touch the ground. In essence, those who are fond using the hand to touch the ground then touch the head should cease. Therefore, we should always kneel down and use our heads to touch the ground. On this, Ifa says:

Abere ni fi toju timu sise

A difa fun Foribale

Ti somo bibi inu Agbonniregun

Awa fori bale loni awa o ku mo

ObaraIrete! Ori a gbo ke

It is the needle that works with both eyes and nose

Ifa revelation to Foribale,

Who is a true child of Agbonniregun

We have touched the ground with our heads today

ObaraIrete! The head is strong

20.

Anyone rearing animals or keeping live stock should sacrifice one of each of the animals in his possession. Besides the animal(s), he will add a big rat, palm oil, gin and money to the items of ebo. It is advisable to do this to prevent death. On this Ifa says:

Popondo ni so bi adaasa bi adaasa

Amoniloju ara won ni won n se

A difa fun Olohunku

Won ni o sebo saiku ara re

Igba aisebo

Igba aiteru

A je eran yii dun Olohunku

Popondo ni so bi adaasa bi adaasa

Those who glance at us with disdain are but deceiving their selves

Ifa revelation to Olohunku, the-owner-is-dead

He was told to offer ebo against death

Failure to make ebo

Refusal to make the recommended rituals

We ate this animal in the absence of the owner

Very delicious!

We ate this in the absence of the owner

21.

To fortify ourselves against the enemies, we need to sacrifice 3 cocks, 3 big rats, palm oil, yam, corn and beans. When we do the ebo, an akose will be made with soap for the person to bathe. On this, Ifa says:

Okuta la kooro la ma seje

A difa fun Ota-ko-raya-mi-mu, omo Olofin

Lojo to n be laarin ota

Ebo ni won ni ko se

Isu nawo nawo ko le fi mu oloko

Stone cracks without shedding blood

Ifa revelation to Ota-ko-raya-mi-mu, enemy-cannot-reach-me, a child of Olofin

When he was amidst enemies

He was advised to make ebo

Yam stretches its stem but cannot reach the farmer

My chest has moved afar from the reach of evil forces

My chest has gone afar from the enemies

The maize stretches its stem but cannot reach the farmer

My chest has moved afar from the reach of evil forces

My chest has gone afar from the enemies

The beans stretches its stem but cannot reach the farmer

My chest has moved afar from the reach of evil forces

My chest has gone afar from the enemies

22.

This odu says there is conspiracy and wars in the world. Ifa says people are waging war against the authority in the world. This can be the authority in the respective countries. The leader will surely achieve his mission. It is recommended that the leader of each community, state, country or organization should make ebo with a ram, 7 big rats, 7 pigeons, palm oil, pap and money. Each king in Yoruba land should also make this ebo. And the kings should never turn against Yoruba tradition and Ifa/Orisa. Any king who turns against the Orisa, Oduduwa will surely deal with him. On this, Ifa says:

Ayun mi ree, ire ni ki o je

Abo mi ree, ire ni ki o je

Atayun atabo

Mo de mo ba tijotayo nile

A difa fun Oduduwa Atewonro

Yoo ko gbogbo Irunmole wa sode aye

Awa yun o

Awa bo

This is my going, may it be successful

This is my coming, may it be successful

Both my going and my return

I arrived and met dance and happiness at home

Ifa revelation to Oduduwa Atewonro

He would bring all the Irunmole to the earth

We have come

We have returned

The child of Olobara will never die in war

23.

Ifa has assured the world that the war from the rebels will surely be suppressed. The leaders need to make ebo. Also, the practitioners of Ifa/Orisa religion are assured of the war against them here and there in the world. The items to sacrifice here are a he-goat, 3 cocks, 3 big rats, pap, palm oil and money. On this, Ifa says:

He is bred in spiritual way

He is walking in spiritual path

Ifa revelation to Orunmila

When travelling around

He was told there is war at the right side

He was told there is war at the left side

He was told there is war on the path

Ifa says the war at the right side should remain harmless there

Ifa says the war at the left side should remain harmless there

Ifa says the war on the path should give way for the priests

We shall go through them with impunity

We shall return through them with impunity

A priest does not die while carrying out his divine assignment

A child of Olobara does not die in war

24.

This year, Ifa warns those who are chasing another man’s wife. Ifa says anyone who is found in such act will be punished. Those who are suspecting their spouse should make ebo with 3 cocks, 3 big rats, a rope, gin, kola nuts, pap, palm oil and money. On this, Ifa says:

O n bere labe buka

O n ba kubekube

You, Olobara, who has been having a secret affair with the wife of Irete

The priest has caught you today, the priest has caught you

25.

Ifa says people whose children are dying prematurely should initiate them into Ifa. The age of the child does not matter here. On this, Ifa says:
