Igbos come show your proverbs skills

I disagree although amaghi m aha igbo ya mana obughi mpio. mpio bu ebe ewu na okuko na esi alaba na ulo ha ma chi jiee.
Ify ke kwanu?
Igbo si na akoruo e'geruo.

If its not panadol u know the rest.onye aturu la ilu kowara ya ego ejiri luo nne ya  hope u know the rest.

Tuu wu isi opi tuturu wu ihe e'gbutere na opi.

Those are the days when ilu have meaning.
In 1951 ano m with mma-mma nke ukwu(ground mum), that was the first time i came to Nigeria. This old woman ana atu ilu like no man biz that was the first time i had the last ilu nturu na threadia. So i asked her the meaning she responded with the second to the last ilu nturu ebe a. Hope u gat the scope.(check out my 2nd to last and the last ilu)Finaly she was able to analyse my last ilu. To kowasiate, the last one means that the first sound from opi sounds tuuuu and other sound that comes, like tuturu is the outcome of the first sound tuuu. eji m na aka na ina akachi the gist.

Ify!!!
okwa gi turu ilu na nwata kwochaa aka osoro ogalanya rie nri. don't rush it wash your hands welu welu u will get the scope.
Odi m sure na owughi ebe nwanne drogba di ka obi gi now.

Ilu Igbo continues

Ulo choro ichi echi bu naani nwanyi ka a na-amu n'ime ya
A clan that wants to cease existence gives birth to only females

O bughi onye siri ofe kwesiri ikwu na ofe ya di uto nke ukwu; o bu ndi meturu ya onu ga-ekwu otu o di
It's not he that prepared the soup should say how sweet it tastes; it's for those that ate it to decide

Ekele oge uguru bu n'akuku ekwu oku
Harmattan greetings is done by the fireside

O bu nwayoo nwayoo ka agbogho ji ericha nri juru afere
The young maiden consumes a plateful of food little by little

Onye choro ikpofu ahihia o zatara n'ezi, mgbe ahihia ahu di otu nkata aghaghi ime ya ngwa ngwa, karia mgbe onye ahu hapuru ya, o wee kpachie isi ulo
Whosoever wants to dispose refuse obtained by sweeping the yard when it's just one basket should do so otherwise the refuse would grow too much and block the house's entrance

And here is the longest I've heard:

Mbe-di-ogu ka ndi iro ya biara n'ulo ya ka ha buru ya, o wee rio ha chere ka ya bia, n'ihi na ya ekwetal isoro ha gaa n'ebe o bula ha choro. Ndi ahu wee hapu ya n'ala ma na-ele ya, ka ha mara ihe o choro ime. Ha kwuo si O buru oso, o gaghi agbalaga! Mbekwu zopu otu ukwu, ma zopu nke ozo, ha niile na-ele ya zii ka aturu. O wee jiri aka ya abuo na ukwu ya wee bokasia ala. O wee gwa ha si, "Ugbu a, buru m gaa ebe unu choro, n'ihi na onye o bula biara ebe a, aghaghi ikwu na nwoke na ibe ya gbara mgba di egwu, tupu aka kariri ibe ya wee maburu ya"

Once upon a time, enemies came to take the tortoise away, the tortoise begged them to wait let him get ready since he has agreed to go with them to any where they want. His enemies left him on the ground, looking at him to knwo what he is up to. The said that if he wants to run, he can't run away! The tortoise made a few steps with his hands and feet and they were looking at him like fools. The tortoise then dug some shallow holes on the ground. He then told them, "Now, take me to wherever you want, because anyone that comes here will not fail to say that two men wrestled greatly before the stronger side won and took hold"

_{Ilu Igbo enweghi ogwugwu}

@Echelon, I kpara ihe ewu n'eri.

@Ify, obughi n'akwukwo ka msi eweputa ilu. Ilu nile mturu ebea si m n'isi. Oke supiri supiri emela ka m daa mba n'ilu nihi na oburu mgbe m bu afo ime asuru oha nri, aka m eji ilu wee tujuo ebea. K'osina di, kama egbe ama efe chacha, ya fee dika udele!

Lekwa akuko ilu echelon chetara m site n'ilu ikpe azu O turu:

Mbe jere ori na be ogo ya. Ogo ya wee jide ya kee ya agbu, were ya togbo na mbara ebe onye obula n'agafe ga ahu ya. Ka chi boro, ndi mmadu n'agafe ije ahia wee hu mbe wee juo "omere gini?". Ewee za si na "o jere ori na be ogo ya". Mmadu dum wee tie mkpu si mbe "I mere aru! Olee otu Isi wee chochaa ebe I ga ezu ori, owee buru be ogo gi?. Ntaramahuhu a ana enye gi bu ihe kwesiri gi"

Orue na uhuru chi mgbe ndi jere ahia lotawara, ha hukwa mbe ebe ahu ekere ya agbu. Ha wee juo "obu gini ka mbe mekwara ozo eji wee kekwaa ya agbu?" Ewee zakwa ha si "obukwa ori abu ozuru na be ogo ya". Ora jere ahia wee tie mkpu si ogo mbe "afo joro gi njo! Obu maka na ogo gi zuru ori na be gi ka iji wee kee ya agbu ka mgbe ututu wee rue kita? Oburu na ozughi ori na be gi, kedu onye i choro ka ozuo na be ya? Biko topu ya maka na obughi ya bu mbu zuru ohi!"

The tortoise went to steal in his inlaw's house and was caught by his inlaw. He was bound hand and feet and kept at the road where passers-by will see him. In the morning when people were leaving to the market, they saw the tortoise and asked "what did he do?". When they were told what he did, they all blamed him for the seeming abomination and told him he deserved all he got.

In the evening however, when the traders were going back from the market, they saw the tortoise once more and enquired what his offence was this time. They were told he has been there since that morning regarding the theft at his inlaw's house. This time, they condemned his inlaw, saying he was heartless. "Is it because of the theft? Now tell us, if he does not steal from your house, where will he still? Set him free and let him go!"

Moral: Justice could be reversed if overdone!
