What is creating this restlessness for you is not far from you. You need to offer ebo in order to identify your source of agitation and restlessness.
Idin o sun
Idin o wo
Idin o sun lati ale ana wa
Dia fun Kooko
Ti yoo maa loo d’eru ba Esin
Ebo ni won ni ko waa se
Ero Ipo, ero Ofa
Eni gb’ebo ni’be ko waa s’ebo o

Idin did not sleep
Idin did not rest
Idin did not sleep since last night
Ifa’s message for Kooko, the Dangler
Who will be creating fear into the mind of Esin, the Horse?
He was advised to offer ebo
Travelers to Ipo and Ofa towns
Let those advised to offer ebo do so accordingly.
