Pataki where the Tuna changes its luck thanks to the word of Ifá
La Tuna, regretting what was happening to her, went to visit orunmila for the great fortune teller to help him change his luck.

You should never be ungrateful with the hand that once helped us
Over the years, Orunmila was involved in a war, in which he was surpassed by his adversaries in resources and numbers.
