Edigba edigbe, Awo Baata, Odifa fun Baata, Abufun Sango.

He made divination for Baata when she was anxious to have husband and also for Sango when he was anxious to have a wife.

He separately advised both of them to make sacrifice and they did.

After preparing the sacrifice for Baata, she was told to carry it to the river near the market, while Sango was told to carry his sacrifice to the bank of the river.

As the two of them were praying with their sacrificial offerings, they saw and over heard each other.

After depositing heir sacrifices, Sango called on Baata to join him and she did.

They asked each other what they were making sacrifice for and both confirmed that they were looking for marriage partners.

Sango had made sacrifice with a goat while Baata made sacrifice with a he·goat.

After discussing their mutual desires, they fell in love with each other and embraced each other.

There and then they agreed to get married and lived happily ever after.

That is why Sango and Baata live as man and wife to this day.

When this Odu appears at divination for anyone trying to find out whether a particular spouse is his or her rightful marriage partner, he or she should be told that they are a perfect match provided he or she made sacrifice.

This work was inspired by LATE DR. C. OSAMARO IBIE, J.P.
