In the ancient town of IBADAN was a man who did collect Daily-money-contribution—Àjọ ojoojúmọ́. Sómólú by name was a very successful man in this chosen work, that he has reached the calibre of motor vehicle owner. As a first class Daily-Money-Collector, Sómólú intended to using his newly bought vehicle for his "House-to-House" collection but he was stick because of how clumsy they used to build Ibadan houses in the olden days. In the olden days, they built each house, [Agbo-ilé ni Ìlú Ìbàdàn ní ayé àtijó] beside each other with relatively little space or no space in bitwixt that can't allow a motor vehicle to pass.

This jam of houses did not permit Sómólú to make use of his motor vehicle for his work. He would themfrom packed his vehicle at the road and use his feet by walking to go all around Houses for collections. His customers and people around felt his pain and this moved Sómólú to solely decided and sell his motor vehicle since it didn't work to suit his need at the particular time.

A kì í jayé ọba ká su sárà; One does not so luxuriate in one's majesty that one shits on himself—[Lack of moderation and decorum will bring disgrace to even the most elevated person].

Sómólú eventually sold his motor vehicle and went over to buy a bicycle so that he can conveniently and swiftly ride through each houses and their compound for for his Daily-Money-Collection.
People praised him for this great wisdom he applied to his life at the presence time by saying "Orí alájọ Sómólú pé". It has been established since then as a great word to praise or give accolades to someone who showcase wisdom in any area of life or situation by saying "Orí rẹ̀ pé bí alájọ Sómólú tó ta mọ́tò ra kẹ̀kẹ́"—He/She is wise like a Sómólú Collector who sold motor vehicle to buy bicycle.

This word is a great accolade and never an insult to anyone that is been used for. So I hope you will praise me now by saying "Orí mí pé bí alájọ Sómólú tó ta mọ́tò ra kẹ̀kẹ́" for establishing and passing this fact across to you.
