(Ifa New Year)

MESSAGES OF IFA OF THE YEAR 2024/2025 REVEALED AT OKE-IGETI IN ADO EKITI ON THE 25TH OF MAY, 2024.

The Odu revealed is Irosun Onisin {Irosun Osa}.

● Ifa comes with Ayewo of financial challenges.

● In order to remove the ayewo of financial challenges, each temple needs to feed Ifa with

8 rats, 8 fish and 8 pigeons.

● Before doing the feeding, there is the need to place the Ifa on an elevated place such as

hillside or on top of a seat. Doing this will attract financial success quickly.

● All those born by this Odu are also enjoined to feed Ifa in this way. Those who are not

born by this odu are enjoined to feed Ifa with 4 rats, 4 fishes and 2 pigeons.

Ifa assures all Temples and their leadership that they will be able to perform marvelously in the next 12 months. Ifa says that nobody can stop all Temples from attaining their spiritual, physical, financial, social, and psychological goals. There is the need for all Temples to work hard because most people having challenges will be liberated. Ifa advises each Temple to offer ebo with eight pigeons and four guinea fowls. On this Ifa says;

A ke karakara ja'nu aye

And he who walk leisurely without giving way for others

The ebo and etutu which Orunmila performed have manifested wonderfully

3. Ifa assures all devotees that they will live long. Ifa says that they will not encounter any calamity that will cut short their lives. Ifa says that when the ebo of this particular stanza is about to be offered, it must be offered very early before sunrise. The ebo materials for each Temple here are, one matured he-goat, four guinea fowls and money. Also, they need to feed Ifa with four rats and four fish. On this Ifa says;

The son of Iyaye
An offspring of Oganju of the Hilltop

And he was advised to offer ebo of longevity He complied.
It is the ebo of longevity that Oloja is offering

4. Ifa says that there is the need for all members all over the world to be devoted and dedicated to their Ifa and Orisa Spirituality. This is what will earn all devotees to be able to seek the support of all the Irunmole and the Orisa. It will also guarantee that the support will be forthcoming. Ifa says that there is the need for each temple to offer ebo and give one mature she-goat to Ifa. All Temples dedicated to Sango needs to give one ram to Sango. And those dedicated to Ogun should give what is appropriate. That is the way it should be done with all the other Orisa and Irunmole. Give to them what are appropriate.

On this Ifa says;

5 . Ifa says that what the divinities want from each and every Temple is total devotion, complete supplication and unquestionable loyalty to Ifa and Orisa. There must be service with total piety. Ifa says that nobody under any condition must think, speak or do evil. If this warning is not heeded, the supplications of devotees will not be accepted. Also in this particular stanza, Ifa admonishes all devotees to acquire knowledge and skills before they could decide to practice on their own. Not only this, they must also ensure that they receive the blessing of their tutors. The blessing is the ASE that will follow them in all their journeys in life. Ifa says that there are some people who are harboring evil against others, these people shall be exposed and be put to shame.

Behold we are going to serve

6. There is the need for people to watch their utterance in order for what they say not to land them in big trouble. Ifa advises each person suffering from unguided utterances to offer ebo with a mature he goat and to roll a bill of money like an arrow and use the pointed edge to prick their

mouths and declare “may my mouth not lead me into trouble” and add the money to the ebo materials.

Ogògó òṣì ní ń m'ẹni gbé adìẹ orí àba wò, bí o pa ọmọ tàbí kò pa ọmọ.

A dífá fún Ibi-ẹnu-gbé-mi-dé

E o rí bí Ifá Awo kì bí ti ń se o

Translation

It is chronic poverty that makes one to go and inspect a hibernating hen
In order to ascertain whether the eggs will be hatched or not.
Ifá’s message for Ibi-enu-gbe-mi-de (this is where my unguided utterances had landed me)

The eldest female child of Oba Onisin.

She advised to offer ebo so that her utterances would not attract calamity into her life. She failed to comply.
Failure to offer ebo and refusal to heed warning
Can’t you see the prediction of Awo as it comes to pass.

7. Ifa says that members should take care of their character. Ifa admonishes that no matter how good a destiny may be, bad character will eventually ruin the good destiny. Apart from offering ebo with one mature he-goat and one mature she-goat and money, there is the need for all Temples not to hurt any animal and to take very good care of pets. Feed the helpless. Support the needy. Do good to people who you are not expecting to return the favor. Cultivate farms to support the needy. Be there for the helpless. Cloth and shelter the homeless. Make sad people happy. Be the source of hope for the hopeless. Do not cheat or malign. Do not abuse your power or privilege

.
Èkùrọ̀ Ojú ọ̀ nà a ba'ra pálapàla,

Díá fún Ọ̀ rúnmìlà

Translation

The palm seed by the footpath with its rough skin
Ifa’s message for Orunmila
When he was going to choose Orí (destiny) from Ido land

And he was going to choose Iwa (character) at Ejigbomekun market. He was advised to offer ebo
So that his character will not negate his destiny.
He complied.

Before long and not too far,
Join us in the midst of all ire of life.

8. Ifa says that it should not be a surprise that most Temple leaders will find themselves as subject of attack from others. The simple reason for such is that people are envious of their achievements in life. They want to be in the leaders position of relevance and limelight but their wickedness and evil tendencies do not allow them to progress. Ifa assures that all those planning evil against dedicated members shall fail woefully. There is the need to offer ebo by each Temple with four pigeons, four guinea fowls, four roosters and money. Each Temple also needs to feed Egbe as appropriate. The warning here is that no matter what people do, we must not stop doing good. On this, Ifa says;

Irosun sa
A o ro
Bi Irosun o sa
A o ro
Opepe t'ile t'igi s'oke
Da fun Adeola, Omo Oloore
Eyi ti won ni ko lo ree ku s’ipo ika Ebo ni won ni ko waa se
o gb'ebo, o ru'bo
Adeola o, omo Oloore
Egbe mi e gba mi
E ma je n te
Adeola o omo Oloore
Ogba mi e gba mi
E ma je n te
Adeola o omo Oloore

Translation

If Irosun runs
I will hide
If Irosun refuses to run I will also hide

The creeper climbs the tree to the top
Ifa’s message for Adeola, The benevolent
When people were planning for him to die in the position of the wicked He was advised to offer ebo
He complied
Here comes Ademola, the benevolent
My egbe please come to my rescue
Do not let me be humiliated
Adeola o, the benevolent
My contemporaries please come to my rescue
Do not allow me to face disgrace
Adeola o, the benevolent.

9. Ifa enjoins everyone not to cheat and not to think, say or do evil of any kind whatsoever. Ifa says that there is no such thing has impunity. Whoever does any evil shall suffer. Ifa states further that even if what you did went undetected, the Ori of the victim will rise up and punish the offender. This is the reason why all members across the world must avoid taking advantage of others. There is no particular ebo here. The ebo here is character, good and acceptable character. Ifa warns that a day is coming when we shall be called to account for all we do in secret. Tell those who, under the cover of darkness do evil, that the day of reckoning is near. The gods of the land will surely judge them accordingly.

Ọ̀ rúnmìlà hí Òkè-Ìpọ̀ nrí Ọníun á béèrè Mi Òkè-Ìpọ̀ nrí Ọníun á béèrè Bara-mi-Àgbọnìrègún.

The trap caught a rat Somebody went there
To remove the rat from the trap And went away with it

He said if the Owner of the rat is unable to identify the person who stole the rat The maker will know
And his Maker will ask questions

10. Ifa says that members will encounter a lot of wicked people, both internal and external people. Ifa warns all conspirators, all backbiters, those who speak ill of others should desist. This is because, this coming year is their year of reckoning. In order to overcome these people, Ifa advises each Temple to offer ebo with one mature he-goat and money. On this Ifa says;

Obun jeun tan o f’ika nu’di
Dia fun Orunmila
Won ni ki baba o s’ebo
Ki oro hunrun hunrun Ile Olu Ife o ma baa ba O gbebo o rubo

Ero ipo ati t'Ofa
E waa ba'ni l'aruuse ogun

Translation

After eating, a filthy person uses his fingers to wipe his anus Ifa’s message for Orunmila
When he was advised to offer ebo
In order to render the conspiracy of Olu Ife ineffective

He complied
Travellers to Ipo and Ofa lands
Join us in the midst of victory over adversity.

11. Ifa says that for those facing the challenges of unconsummated fortunes and inability to make progress, there is the need to offer ebo and perform rituals. Ifa says that the fortune of this person has been covered and it must be opened through rituals. First, there is the need to offer ebo with one mature he-goat and money. The ritual to perform here is to get one calabash and put six obi inside the calabash and the person also needs to procure a bottle of alcohol. In the dead of the night, this person will take these items to the grave site of one of his/her ancestors. This person will place the six Obi on the burial ground and use the calabash to cover it and place the alcohol by the side of the calabash. The next day, very early in the morning, this person will go to the gravesite and open the Calabash. The Six Obi will then be used to propitiate the ancestor together with the alcohol. The moment this is done, the destiny that has hitherto been covered will be uncovered. This person will then be able to enjoy his or her potentials in life.

Akope Eluju ni n gb'ohun Olorun Dia fun Olabomi
Omo Olorun fi igba bo’wa mo’le Ebo ni won ni o wa se

Oun si wa gb'ebo, o ru'bo Nje Oojo ti a si'gba Obi N'igba ire si

Translation

The Palm tree tapper of the wilderness
Is the person who hears the voice of Heaven
Ifa’s message for Olabomi
He who the ancestors had used calabash to cover his character (destiny) He was advised to offer ebo
He complied
The day we opened the calabash of Obi
That was the day that the container of all Ire of life was opened.

12. Ifa says that the major focus of all Temples throughout this year is how to wipe tears away from the faces of people and replace the tears with joy. Ifa says that while performing this assignment, those who are not happy will be praying for the death of the good doers. Ifa says that the wish of evil people shall not be granted. Ifa says that this does not mean that the benevolent people shall not experience sickness or discomfort, but they shall recover in a miraculous manner. Ebo materials here are, three roosters and three guinea fowls.

Irosun saara n o ro
Irosun o saara n o ro
Ewiri s'enu gejegeje mu'le Adifa fun Adigbonnanku
Ti n se omo alagbede orun Igba ti o re aye ni ilai nii ku Ebo ni won ni o waa se.
O gb'ebo o ru'bo Adigbonnanku o de o! Sebi won ni o ku ni
Nigba wo la s’orun d'arebo

Translation

If Irosun strikes the lightning volt I will keep quiet
Even if the lightning did not strike I will keep quiet

The Bellows hold its mouth firmly to the ground Ifa’s message for Adigbonnanku insect
The offspring of the Blacksmith of Sky World When coming to the world to enjoy longevity

He was advised to offer ebo
He complied
Here comes Adigbonnanku
It was said that you had died
When did you turn Heaven and earth to the game of death and resurrection.

13. Ifa cautions all leaders not to be too high-handed nor show wickedness to their subjects. This may lead to the subjects planning against their leaders. Ifa says that all things must be done in moderation. The ebo materials here are two rams. One for ebo, one for Sango. On this Ifa says;

Esin lo gbo koso
Bee ni o gbodo gb'owo ijo
Dia fun Mofoyewa (Sango)
Eyi ti won o mu j'oye ile baba re Ebo ni won ni o wa se
Nje Mofoyewa oo Oba wa

Translation

Even though the horse hears the sound of Koso music Yet it is not permitted to dance
Ifa’s message for Mofoyewa (Sango)
When he ascended his ancestors throne

He was advised to offer ebo
Mofoyewa our Oba
The installed you on the throne
And you ruined the world
There should be limit to one’s wickedness He then offered ebo as earlier advised Now, Mofoyewa our Oba

You are installed as Oba
And the world witnessed peace There is limit to one’s benevolence

Now I offered two thousand cowries And I offered a ram
And I overcame all my enemies!!!
