The issue would be if it was warning of premature death. In Ire (positve manifestation), Oyeku brings a blessing of Alaafia (peace).
In ibi (negative manifestation) it would mean a premature ending of a cycle. From consultifa.com : Oyeku Meji from the elision o yeye iku means spirit of the mother of the death.
