There are three different systems for classifying the 256 Odù into the Ojú Odù Group and the Àpólà Odù Groups. We use the oldest system. In this ancient system, the Ojú Odù has 16 Odù, Àpólà Ogbè has 30 Odù, Àpólà Ọyẹ̀kú has 28 Odù, Àpólà Ìwòrì has 26 Odù, and the number of Odù in each subsequent Àpólà continues to reduce by 2 until we get to Àpólà Ọ̀ṣẹ́, which only has two Odù. These all add up to 256 Odu.
The Odù of Ifá is divided into two groups:
Group 1: One Ojú Odù
Group 2: Fifteen Àpólà Odù
