Lets briefly talk about Odu OSE MEJI_____You are a conqueror..
Ose meji is the odu that established Ibadan city. The Yoruba do not do anything in the past without consulting Ifa, so when Lagelu established Ibadan, it was Ose meji that was divined for the city. So Ibadan is regarded as the hometown or a hometown of Ose.
Life is a mixture of victories and defeats, so we are often in a situation of ose just after okanran.
The simple message of the odu is 'Sacrifice and you will be victorious!'
A verse in Ose meji talks about when Obatala Oosanla Oseremagbo set out to marry Ojose whose name means day of victory in much thesame way Sango married Oya.
Ose meji!
O se woo!
O run woo!
A kii ta Ogomo gbigbe losun!
A difa fun Oosanla Ooseremagbo
Nijo ti o nlo ree gbe Ojose niyawo
Ebo ni won ni ko se
O gbe bo o rubo
Oba nla!, obi ose te mi re o!
Oni lojo ose
Translation
Ose meji!
It broke calmly/easily
It crumbled calmly/easily
No one decorates a dry palm frond with camwood!
Made divination for Obatala Oosanla Oseremagbo
When he was going to marry Ojose.
He was asked to sacrifice
He complied
Obanla!, this is my kolanuts for Ose!
Today is the day of Ose!
Ase Edumare
Edumare Ase!
