Esu is...

Compassionate:

Esu is not just Olodumare's divine messenger. He is a loving father that guides us in the right direction. When we are hurt and crying, Esu is the one that cries with us.

Steadfast:

Esu supports those who are upright and honest. As Esu rewards the righteous, he also punishes the wicked. Our moral compass: Esu is the loving father that points one in the right direction and still doesn't hesitate to correct when one chooses the wrong path.

A mentor:

Standing at the crossroads, Esu forces us to look deep into ourselves and choose the best version of ourselves.

He rewards good to those who do good

And he surely pushes evil to wicked people.

The friend of those who offer ebo

Those who offered ebo

Shall be blessed by Esu.

Oriki Esu

Aduro gangan l'eyin a sooto
O b'elekun sunkun k'eru o b'elekun
Elekun n sunkun laroye n sun eje
O b'onimi sumi k'eru o ba onimin
Onimin n sumi laroye n su'fun

He stands solidly behind those who are truthful
He who sympathizes with people
Others are shedding tears, Esu is crying blood.
He tried helping the fellow that was defecating
As the person was defecating, Esu was discharging his intestine.
