IFA on Respecting Our Elders

[Fagbemijo]

The sacred Odu Ifa Iwori Meji teaches us:
Bi omode ba te riba fun agba
Ohun gbogbo ti o ba da wole
A ma gun gegege
Iwa re a si ma tutu pese pese
A difa fun omo oniwa pele
Ti ko se afojudi si iya tabi baba
Ti aye re dun jojo

Translation:
If a youth shows deference to an elder
All he attempts to do will turn out exactly right
And he will be cool and peaceful
Cast Ifa for the young person with gentle character
Who did not disrespect his mother or his father
His life was very pleasant
