Please proceed sir.

The most important work which Iwori-bo'Ogbe did in heaven was the divination he made for INO (FIRE) when he was ill.

It will be recalled that Fire had been driven by the rain to take refuge inside the stone from which it had to be ignited before coming to life.

Meanwhile, Ino went to the wisdom diviner, Orunmila to find out what to do in order to recover his strength and vigour.

He was advised to serve his head in the company of the last born of their mother who happened to be the palm tree (Okpe).

Contrary to the advice of Orunmila, Ino went to his more vociferous elder brother Ogun-Agbede who only spits out fire from his furnace but could not help Ino by himself.

Next, Ino went to Sango-Ogigi to help him in serving his head. SangoOgigi was only able to flash the appearance and shadow (Lightening) of Ino but could not revive him (Fire).

At: that stage, lno went back to Orunmila to complain that his illness did not improVe in spite of the fact that he had tWice served his head.

Orunmila then asked him who was present when he was serving his head.

He retorted that Ogun~Agbede was present on the first occasion while Sango-Ogigi was with him on the second occasion.

When asked whether any of the two relations he mentioned was the last born of his mother, he
remembered that he was supposed to have invited Okpe (palm tree).

Without any further ado, he went home and persuaded Okpe to help him to serve his head.

When Okpe was going to Ino's house for the head serving cetemony, he went in his tattered dress (dried palm leaves)' because he was just returning from the farm.

Ino had scarcely completed his prayers when he was ignited and "set the dress of palm tree ablaze.

That was how fire back came to life and people applauded and rejoiced with him.

Listening is paramount. .. but what happened to Palm Tree the last born of his mom?

So, he sacrificed his baby brother for there to be fire? Poor Opke, his ori is not strong.

Aboru Aboye, what did you learn from this itan?

That I should trust no one cos Na trust him follow go until him catch fire.
I read the story again and I can say, another lesson learnt is to do things accordingly and in precautionary fashion to avoid getting caught in the aftermath.
And, I am sure this is what you expected me to mention........Do as you are told if you need help from someone. If you must do what is required, do it as you are told to. Instead of doing it half way. If you don't want, then don't do it at all.
