oji ni kutu kutu r'ohun oro s'arigbon lo orun
they cast ifa for orunmila
when coming from heaven and earth
they also cast ifa for the human race
who were divided into three groups:
the achievers
those who follow the achievers, and
the bystanders
they were all coming to do three things on earth
they were coming to do good
they were coming to do evil, and
they were coming to do neither good nor evil
aasee moga-moga kii ri ohun oro se arigbon lo o (alias of an awo)
agbonniregun's sage who cast ifa for agbonniregun when going to
olodumare to make inquiries
why should olodumare create three groups with three distinct
characters at the same time?
three different groups exhibiting three different traits cannot
live together without friction
with friction, someone is bound to be hurt
olodumare responded: it is a way of knowing human attitudes
