He says this concept of eji ogbe was invoked in the libations for the birth of Ibadan and not satisfied with the libations resorted to the use of hunchback as the next rituals.Ibadan pioneers recoursed to the use of abuke or hunchback for the purpose of creating populous city tricked hunchback to lay on a mat with well beneath.He was tricked to lie on the mat oblivious of the hidden well and bushwhacked until he was drowned but he cursed Ibadan pioneers as he was drowning.However but before his drowning he was tricked to list the ritual elements vital to make Ibadan a populous city.He gave them these ritual clues and afterwards of the third Sundays was beaten to death and drowned in the well.
Unfortunately he was not a true hunchback having been beaten by snails with protruded back.A thorough hunchback had petty scrotum and smaller penis.He laid a heavy curse on Ibadan though you shall be many but shall be quite shallow and a citadel forged for brouhahas.
He says of obara ritual for head worship and you must use meat ,fish and smallest notes of 4 ten nairas signifying blood or four muritala or 8 muritala notes.You use it for head worship at night scratching your head and body with them.To dispose them early morning you give and distribute them to every malam, giving fish to a different person.At time when there is expensive meat you resort to cheaper alternative like fish and could crush the fish heads with stones.
This method often profit immensely the libator and his request is never found wanton .The blessings of the four corners of the earth upon him shall be at the supplication and invocation of the ifa oracle .
