Oluwaseyi Adeyanju, omo Alaramomko Luji, Ejemu ero Ona OLUARA.
Lord of Aramako Luji Ona Awuye
Undisputable champion of Ode Isawo
A valiant heading to the compound square
Wards of faint hearted orphans
As the lanky palm tree of Anaye
Bringing forth the frothy palm wine
Valiant
Oluara fell a tree to fell an elephant
He sharpens his knife to slaughter Akara
Weiding a beaded club to kill two deer in a swoop
Asks Ijoka elders to make a choice
Fastidious
Ejemu spurns the unbearably hot akara
Yet, shuns the nauseatingly cold
Insisting on tiny bits
And when two balls are left in the pot
Oluara must take a whole
Resolute
Oluara escapes the heavy down pour to Anaye
Rain drenched to Alakowe market
Yet, remains in the market from dawn to eventide
Enigmamatic
Ejemu ero Ona, the wayfarer
Lord of twenty silver gongs
He beats one to cause a fight
And another for a drinking bout
Diligent
Oluara, farmer of cotton wool
He tills the ground with a giant hoe
Smiling cotton pods of Eredi river bank
Beckons Olookun to festivity
Dandy
A fashionable sibling of Orangun Ila
Each with a role in clothe making
Oluara weaves, Orangun spins the wool
And when Orangun stops spinning wool
Oluara abandons the weaving loom.
