Overview
Ìwà was not the most beautiful woman in the world. But she was pretty, and she was not arrogant, and
she was not disobedient - so everyone wanted to marry her, human beings and Òrìṣà alike.
Ọ̀rúnmìlà won her. Ifá told him there were two sacrifices: one to marry her, and one to keep her.
He made the first.
He became famous. People came from far and near. And there were things Ìwà wanted that he simply
stopped seeing - until the porridge burned, the clients' goats went into the household pot, and the
carved Ìròkẹ́ he calls Ifá with went into the cooking fire.
Then she left. And everything left with her - the people, the work, the money.
So Ọ̀rúnmìlà took the road, and at the gate of every king he sang the same song: Did you find Ìwà for
me? If a person has money but no character, that money belongs to someone else.
