Perhaps this comes from a common old Èkìtì song often used to welcome people. The ọ̀kín, traditionally referring to a white-feathered bird (likely the cattle egret), is of significance in Yorùbá tradition for its association with royalty, power, and purity. Ẹyẹ bí ọ̀kín ẹ̀rùbọ̀ òde oooo, ẹ̀rùbọ̀ - You the bird who is like the ọ̀kín, welcome from the journey, welcome!
