Ofinran was then made king in a foreign land and joined his host in expeditions around the Niger River and the two communities co-existed.
Hostilities soon emerged and Ofinran and his men decided to leave for a town called Kusu.
While in Kusu they embraced the Ifá divinity and called for a man named Alado to initiate the Alafin and his subjects in order to wade away any ill wind related to their original rejection of Ifá.
Also, according to Oyo fables, it was during this period that the Egungun festivities also emerged in Yoruba land.
It was thought that the Egungun priest followed the Yorubas from Borgu into Kusu.
