    Ojubona Aremu Omotiayebi Ifamoriyo
    Ifa observes that the person's fortune had declined but says not to despair, as Ifa will increase their worth many times over. Ifa advises offering sacrifices to various deities: eight guinea fowls and money to Ifa, a mature she-goat to Sango, and mature rams to Odu and Ori. This divination verse from Otura Tuka is said to transform lives, moving people from lack to abundance and disappointment to fulfillment. The translation addresses offering sacrifices when the sea and lagoon waters were insufficient.

    11. Ifa says that you are truly a born leader.

    Ifa however observes that


    your fortune had come down a little. You do not need to despair
    because Ifa will increase your worth in several folds. Ifa says that there
    two of involved in this present predicament and both of shall smile at
    the end of the day. Ifa advises you to offer ebo with 8 guinea fowls
    and money. Feed Ifa with 1 matured she-goat, feed Sango 1
    matured ram, feed odu with 1 matured ram and feed your Ori with
    1 sheep. This is the stanza of Otura Tuka that usually changes the
    lives of Otura Tukaa children for the better. It moves them from
    grass to grace, from disappointments to achievement and from
    disillusionment to contentment. On this, Ifa says:

    O gba jo
    O tu raka
    O tu raka
    O gba jo o
    Igi waa gbun ni’gbo
    E n so
    Opo eeyan to gbun laarin ilu nko
    Emi le ri so sinu re o?
    Dia fun Olokun
    Nijo omi okun o to bu boju
    Dia fun Olosa
    Nijo omi osa o to bu san ese
    Won ni ki won kara nle ebo ni ki won se
    Won gbebo nibe, won sebo
    Nje Okun lolori omi
    Osa lolori odo

    Translation:
    It gathered together
    And then scattered
    After scattering
    It gathered together again
    Because you saw a crooked tree in the forest
    You were complaining
    What about many people who are crooked in the town?
    What do you have to say to that?
    These were Ifa’s declarations to Olokun, the sea deity
    When the water in the sea was not enough to wash one’s face
    Also declared to Olosa, the lagoon deity
    When the water in the lagoon was not enough to wash one’s leg
    They were advised to offer ebo
    And they both complied
    Behold okun, the sea is the head of all waters
    And Osa, the lagoon is the head of all rivers
