Greetings, I am a child born outside of my fathers homeland so my understanding of my native language is non existence although I sabi broken.

I was looking for a proverb or quote from Chinua Achebe or maybe a strong Uhrobo quote. Ideally it would be in native language not necessarily in English. Do you know where I could find this?

And where exactly is this your father's homeland?

Here's one Igbo proverb Achebe quoted:
"Onye ji onye n'ani ji onwe ya"
Meaning:
"He who will hold another down in the mud must stay in the mud to keep him down."

See more below

Amazing thank you,

Is there any Igbo translation to the Chinua Achebe quotes? I wanted some thing in native tongue. I am from Warri, of Uhrobo and Itsikiri heritage, But born in England.
