Note by Awo Ifalenu:

Y OD is the Great YMI J who is spiritually married to Orunmila. ONILE
her complete title is ODUWA ONIL IL, she rules the Earth. She was an ancient
queen. There is some similarity of names ODUWA with the name of Oduduwa
that lead to confusion, that some believe that Oduduwa was feminine deity of
the earth, but that is Oduwa Onile Ile.
