IFA verses that talk about OBATALA superiority

IRUNMOLE are not on the same ranks

IRUNMOLE have power according to ranks

Don’t be deceived that all IRUNMOLE are the same thing .

In Èjì Ogbe, there are several verses that highlight Obàtálá’s superiority, his role as the elder among the Ìrúnmọ̀lẹ̀, and his special relationship with Olódùmarè.

One specific verse often quoted in this context is:

“Òrìṣà tó tó níí tó,
Òrìṣà tó tòsí níí tòsí,
Bàbá níí j’ọba Òrìṣà,
Alábàṣà níí ṣàlàfẹ́rè,
Àìníyàn ló ńkópa Bàbá,
Obàtálá ni Ọba Òrìṣà.”

Translation:

“Deities that are sufficient will remain sufficient,
Deities that are perfect will remain perfect,
It is the father who is the king of the deities,
The one who wears white robes governs with fairness,
The absence of greed defines the father,
Obàtálá is the King of the Deities.”

Interpretation:
This verse underscores Obàtálá’s superiority as the leader of all deities (Ọba Òrìṣà). His role is described as one of fairness, purity, and wisdom, symbolized by his white garments (àlà). The verse emphasizes that Obàtálá’s leadership is rooted in his virtue of selflessness (àìníyàn, meaning absence of greed) and his divine authority granted by Olódùmarè.

This specific verse is a testament to Obàtálá’s preeminence in the hierarchy of Ìrúnmọ̀lẹ̀ and his role as the elder who leads with wisdom and justice.
