Looking at the Odu, “Ogunda bede” cast for today’s Ose Ifa, it can be declared beyond reasonable doubt that Orunmila demonstrated his leadership by example by following divine injunction. Just listen as the Odu speaks :-
Ibaba ilu dun un gbe
Ikoko ilu dun un rin
Ti a ba ba Oninuire rin oyin a ta si wa lowo ta si wa lenu
Adifa fun Orunmila baba nse oun gbogbo ko yori
Won ni ko pada sehin lo yan Olodumare ni Baba
Nje gbami o Eleda mi o Iwo ni mo gboju le
Gbami o Eleda mi o Iwo ni mo fehinti
Enikan kii fehinti Olodumare koju ko tii
The outskirts of a town are easy to live in
The secluded areas of the city is nice to walk
If we associate with righteous people, we shall enjoy life like the sweetness of honey
Cast divination for Orunmila, our father was doing things without success
He was divinely instructed to go back and choose Olodumare as the Big father
Please, come to my aid, my Creator, I rely on you
Please, rescue me, my Creator, I lean on you
No one leans on Olodumare and get disgraced.
Stay blessed
