The devotee of Obatala should all refrain from given Him processed or unnatural food. Obatala happen to be a natural deity or divinity, hence natural materials must be given to Him as a way of appeasing to His being or His entity.
Intact, white kola nuts must be offered, with snails and white soup prepared with Ori that is Shea butter. Pounded yam can be used during sacrifice or yam. Water is one of the greatest sacrificial materials for Obatala, that is the reason Obatala encourage drinking of water as a medicinal and spiritual steps to ward off negative vibration from our system. Water according to Obatala serves as a divine step to the soul, spirit and the body. It is advisable to the initiate of Obatala to go an water fasting to real cleanse their alma, soul and body and get rid of toxic from the body. Obatala says that just as water serve all soul in creation, the devotees of Obatala must serve every soul in creation to fulfill their destiny. Service is tantamount and peculiar to the people with the energy of Obatala. The word discipline is the foundation of Obatala. He really manifest the attribute of discipline in his marital life, Obatala shows and teaches us as human to maintain monogamous life, whereby husband and wife should be extremely honest to one another for survival, protection, long life, prosperity, victory and generation blessing.
In comparison to other IRUNMOLE , Obatala happen to be the true representative of OLODUMARE ON MARITAL ISSUE. OBATALA teaches us that a man who is not faithful to his wife or husband should be trusted at all. Such person is considered and compared to a dog that love to chase many female dog if given the chance. Ifa under Ogbe Ogunda tells us the story of dog as a human living in heaven who happened to be the faithful discipline of OBATALA (we shall speak about that tomorrow) food deposited in the body for a long time. Note fasting should be done with care.
Obatala is the divinity in charge of molding human heads before given them back to Olodumare for his breath of life which in Ifa words is called EMI, hence out of the word, the other name of OLODUMARE emanated as ELEMI, the lord or giver of life or giver of spirit or donor of soul.
After a body or head is moulded by Obatala or is being moulded and life is given to such soul, then the soul is sent to the physical state of existence to serve and fulfill his own destiny called Ayanmo.
It is in the presence of the same Obatala that one would have to latter to choose his Ori, make agreement on what his destiny, called AYANMO would be. Obatala would command some to have wealth, some children, some combination of the two.
Human errors engendered by ignorance and high handedness may have been part of the reason why the Ori of some people make progress in life when compared with the other, if not for this, it is certain that every man would have something good in front of Obatala Oseremnagbo. Obatala advice every man and woman to serve to be able to fulfill to his or her destiny. Faith in OLODUMARE and discipline being it mental, emotional and food, physical, spiritual and divine to ensure fulfillment of destiny.
According to odu Ogbe Ogunda that is Ogbe Yonu:

Where, ORISEEKU, ORILEEMURE AND AFUWAPE went to choose Ori from the spiritual market of EJIGBOROMEKUN is a good example of hoe discipline and good character can be of great importance in fulfilling ones destiny.
Life is short, be careful of chasing shadow or wasting your time with idle or gossipers.
MAY OLODUMARE BLESS YOU ALL,
