He is the deity of prophecy, wisdom and destiny. The only witness to creation, he conveys the will of Oludumare to mankind.

He is second only to Oludumare and is sometimes incorrectly referred to as Ifa. Ifa is the embodiment of wisdom and knowledge conveyed through divination in the Odu as practiced by Ifa priests and priestesses.
