On Earth, Ogbe is the senior but in heaven, it is Ofun. Ogbe is greeted Saaki odu!, a royal greeting. While Ofun is greeted Yeeparipa odu! Which I consider as solemn. The odus are 16 in number and they were the first disciples of Orunmila. The first initiates. I presume they were given those names by Orunmila and probably commissioned to make the character of the odu their motto for living.
Ogbe is supporter.
Oyeku is death averter.
Iwori is clarity.
Odi is blockade.
Irosun is fertility or plenty.
Owonrin is scarcity.
Obara is nobility.
Okanran is the one who encounters challenges.
Ogunda is the creator, the initiator.
Osa is the aggressor or the one that makes the enemy to flee.
Ika is the one that sets boundaries or that contains.
Oturupon is the one who always has a back up plan.
Otura has no secrets and does not hide anything from anyone.
Irete uses whatever he has to make himself better.
Ose never loses. Ose is the conqueror.
Ofun is benevolent, he will share with his neighbour whatever he has.
Ofun is said to be stronger than all except Owonrin. So if Owonrin is cast before Ofun, Owonrin is senior and if Ofun before Owonrin, Ofun is senior.
