Verse 1. There was an Awo, his name is Ogbe-Okanran.
He traveled to a town called Ipoti where they have been having problems with marauding invaders who terrorize them at night.
He got to the city as a stranger and they appealed to him to help them. He asked them to make sacrifice with corn grains, mortar, some Ifá leaves, with a he goat for Èṣù.
They heard, they made the sacrifice.
Ogbe-Okanran instructed them to put the mortar and the corn outside of the house.
In the night, Èṣù started pounding the grains of corn in the mortar at the back yard. As the invading bandits were coming, they were hearing the sound of the mortar and pestle, they thought to themselves that the people of Ipoti are still awake and they returned with the aim attempt their robbery again the next day.
The next day they came, the same thing happened, they were hearing the sound of the mortar hitting the pestle. The third day, the same thing. And they concluded that the people of Ipoti no longer sleep and they desisted from coming to plunder them at night.
This was how the stranger (Ajoji godogbo) helped them in conquering their troubles in Ipoti community.
