To all “constituted authorities”

To all “constituted authorities” and other public servants who took the oath of office to serve the people faithfully, Ọ̀fùn Meji says…
A gb'orí ilẹ̀, a j'eku
A gb'orí ilẹ̀, a jẹ'ja
A mú'gbá odù, a jẹ'gbìn
Àṣẹ d'ọwọ́ ilẹ̀ t'ajọ mu
Ẹ gb'ori ilẹ̀ ẹ dà mi
Àṣẹ d'ọwọ́ ilẹ̀ t'ajọ mu
Ifá ní kí a má da ilẹ̀ ọ̀rẹ́ kí a má ba kú ikú
We dwell on earth and we eat rats
We dwell on earth and we eat fish
We take the calabash of Odù and from it, we eat snails
Whatever happens is as a result of the oath we took together
You lived on earth and you broke your oath to me
Whatever happens is as a result of the oath we took together
Ifa says we must not break an oath with a friend to avoid sudden death.
