In Ifá we believe Olodumare itself doesn’t have it own biological child

Idin Aisun (Odi Irosun) Ifa says:

Olosun’di lomode n da
Omode kekere ju da Idin-Aisun
Idi-Aisun Ifa-Kifa
Dia fun Olodumare Agotun
Oba ataye ma tutu
Ibgati n sunkun oun o bimo
Bee ni o sun
Bee ni o wo nitori oro omo
Ebo ni won ni ko de
Olorun n sunkun
Omo araye se bi ojo lo ro
Ekun omo l’Olorun n sun

English:

The recitation of Irosun Odi is for a child
A child should not recite Idin Aisun
Idin Aisun is a delicate (dangerous) Odu
These were the declarations of Ifa to Olodumare Agotun
who found the Universe without disintegration
When weeping in lamentation for it inability to have a child
It never sleeps
And it never rests because of the matter of children
and responsibilities
It was advised to offer ebo
Heaven began to weep
People mistook it for rainfall
Childlessness is what makes Heaven weep

Let's get educated on Iyaami.
Who is Iyaami?
What is their purpose on Earth, and their relationship with humanity? Image
yaami can also be called Iyaami Aje or Eleye.
They are part of the spirits sent by Olodumare and they follow the desires and will of Olodumare.
The Iyaami Aje are not Orisa, and no one can be initiated into Iyaami Aje. I repeat this, no one can be initiated to Iyaami Aje.
Whoever does this should know that they have created problems in their life.
They can switch to different forms of birds and animals when they want to do the things they want to do.

"There's good in evil, and there's evil in good."
The late Ifa priest Afolabi Epega often said this. It's an expression in Ifa. It doesn't mean that good and evil are the same thing. It's a way of saying that everything has two sides.
Everything that we think is positive has a negative side. And that which we say is negative often has a positive side.
A relationship that falls apart might cause you pain (negative), but it might force you to grow spiritually (positive) and help you realize that
you shouldn't have been in the relationship in the first place.
Or, you might get a promotion at work (positive), but then co-workers might become jealous and start to resent you (negative).
Ifa teaches us to always look at both sides -

Most of the problems in your life derive from your relentless pursuit of something "better" that will bring you ayo (joy). The obvious problem is that you lose the opportunity to enjoy the thing you presently have, but the real folly is believing that a thing can make
you happy; though you can enjoy things, they are not a source of ayo. Your enjoyment of a thing is based on your own imagination, the ojuinuwo. This word is a contraction of oju-inu-wo (the inner-eye sight) Your ojuinuwo is the source of ayo.
this is the phenomena known as the orisa Osun.

When you misbelieve that a thing is a source of ayo, you are unable to fully enjoy the thing you have presently. The world today has for thousands of years been on a steady decline because of the increased misbelief that

Ọ̀rúnmìlà said he is a king
I admitted, he is worthy to be king
Bara-mi-Àgbọnìrègún
He asked, who deserves the honour
To be called a king

I said Alárá-mọkọ
Who is as clever as the falcon
One who fashioned thirty gongs
From a single rod
He affirmed that Alárá does not exhibit
The virtues of a worthy king
At the presence of the worthy king
He must kowtow in obeisance

Ọ̀rúnmìlà said he is a king
I agreed, he is worthy to be king
Bara-mi-Àgbọnìrègún
He asked, who deserves the honour
To be called a king

I mentioned Ajerò mọ̀kín àtà
One who brazenly refused
To be drawn into combat
The proprietor of the tall kola nut trees
Bearing big fruits, on the path to Ejelu

He swore, Ajerò does not exhibit
The virtues of a worthy king

If you don’t understand what Ori is, then read this:

Ori is a person's anatomical head which contains the brain. However IFA teaches that inside this physical head and apart from the brain there resides another entity, a psychic impalpable force that determines
the individual's fortune in life.

Ori is cognate with the European concept of destiny except that with Ori there is a factor of personal responsibility influencing the net effect.
Ipin ( a person's lot)
Iponri (individual choice)
Ayanmo (Allotment)
Eledal (creative influence) are alternative names for Ori, describing various facets of this intriguing concept.
For this reason it is not surprising that English equivalents offered by writers on the subject also vary in emphasis or nuance.

Teach your children what you want them to become irrespective of age or gender, only Olódùmarè knows what the future holds and God that gave you the Female children is not a fool, it's you that should not fool yourself by discriminating against the female child.
Don't hide the mysteries of the Òrìṣàs or whatever you can't afford to see perish from your children whether male or female, only God knows the child that will bury one after one joins the ancestors.

Ifa says in Irosun Iwori (ìrosùn Àwòyé)
Aìsọ́kùbrin lóbìnrin ń jogún Àdá
Àdífáfún Ọláyínká Òròlú
Ọmọ Ògbóyè
Bí ò bá sí Ọláyínká Òròlú ọmọ Ògbóyè
Gbogbo Ìṣòro, gbogbo ìsọ̀pẹ̀ wọn ìbámọ̀ra

Translation

In the absence of the male child, the female inherits the cutlass
Cast Ifá for Ọláyínká Òròlú
