Igbos come show your proverbs skills

The name sounds "Hausa". So I was thinking you have some links there.

But come to think of it, something must have made u choose the name, even if it's a nickname?

For example, echelon was my nickname in school, which friends started calling me after our year 2 maths that dealt with "matrices".

For Mortiple:    . Nke ahu gbasara gi ebe ahu.
