Èsù Óólogbè!

English Version:

Good morning my people, how was your night? Hope it was splendid, I pray as we are going out this morning may the goodness of the town reach us Àse.
This morning, I want to brief some points about èsù òdàrà, it is a pity in today’s modern ifá tradition that money has spoilt everything, today we may not know what is going on in our tradition but ten years come the secret of what currency has spoilt will reveal.

If the truth can be said, some of people that we sees as elder in tradition today are variable spoiler of this cherish tradition because of their stomach infrastructure project especially to diasporans, just a few can be found as a truth teller and good teacher but most have destroyed many things in which the secret will be reveal when they pass on or in some years later.

Sometimes my words may feel arrogant, but don’t think to that side, because a truth will always bitter in the hearing of destroyer, I noticed, from the wrong teaching been given to many people, many fake initiation of ifá and Orisa and also many copy-copy books of ifá to the people because of the money you want to make, but mind you, ifá said having all treasures of earth doesn’t allow you not to die or run mad, what we need in this life is to be truthful and straightforward in what we are doing.

In some years back, I saw many pictures of èsù been made by many notable ifá priest to their God/Goddess child mostly in diaspora, and have also seen some things of that nature here in Lagos from those fraudsters(419), a well trained and knowledgeable ifá priest must have good èsù at home because èsù is the best truthful friend, apprentice or messenger of Òrúnmìlà among other deities as stated by many corpus of ifá, and making of the original èsù òdàrà was only known by real ifá priest not the mud statue made by sand that were been given to people, but today things have turned upside down, everybody is running helter skelter to get currency that is the reason why they are making fake èsù to the people.

Firstly, a real èsù of ifá priest that is feeding whenever ifá directed him to feed èsù òdàrà is known as èsù osetura, this èsù object must be a “yangi” of a river that can never dry, it must be consecrate inside a special ifá leaves liquid and iyerosun of osetura must compulsorily present there, other èsù that we have are: èsù ìjà/aseta(for fighting/defence) it can be made by anything and also èsù awure (for blessing) this also can be made of any object depend on its source but it usually made by “yangi” too and they must have the corpus of ifá that backed them up, but rather I do hear òdàrà, elegbara (diasporans called it elegua) and láàlú and they will all be inform of mud statue, despite the fact we known all these names òdàrà, láàlú and elegbara as an eulogizing names of èsù, instead of calling name like èsù osetura, èsù owonrinsogbe, èsù osa elesu, èsù otura alaketu and many others.

Mind you, “yangi” is most powerful object of èsù that can go to whatever places that you send it, those mud statue can’t enter river, if it try to enter river it will completely dissolved inside the river, I won’t go deep today but next time.
Èsù òdàrà is very good to have if proper appeasing can be made time to time for him, it has so many advantages of bringing goodness and conquer enemies.

Let us hear what the holy corpus of osa elesu said about the benefit of èsù òdàrà:
Hear what the corpus said:
Agbe woroworo moko
Moko rainrain
Òrùlé sèkèrè komo irunmole seyin jo rainrain it cast for èsù òdàrà when he would stay in the front of house and direct goodness to Òrúnmìlà, Òrúnmìlà was the one that lack of all goodnesses and he consulted his òkè ìpònrí, and òkè ìpònrí advised him to feed èsù òdàrà with two kola nuts……….in which he complied, èsù òdàrà accepted the sacrifice and he stood in the front of Òrúnmìlà’s house and he was directing goodness to Òrúnmìlà, Òrúnmìlà became rich and wealthy he started dancing and rejoicing praising priest the priests were praising ifá while ifá was praising Eledumare.
He started singing the song of ifá that:
Èsù is pushing oh
Very long
Èsù is pushing
Very long
Èsù is pushing wealth
Very long
Èsù is pushing
Very long
Èsù is pushing wife
Very long
Èsù is pushing
Very long
It is the all goodnesses that èsù is pushing
Very long
Èsù is pushing
Very long.
Here, this corpus is been made the èsù osalogbefor the blessing only.
My people, I pray this morning that èsù òdàrà will draw the goodness of town for us today, may èsù òdàrà never block the road of our success, may he opens all good things of the earth for us today Àse.
Èsù óólogbè!
