I think those proverbs are also commonly use by other tribes. For instance, in isoko where i come from,it very common to here those proverbs among the elderly gathering, even youngster alike. In other words,those proverbs are not perculiar to urhobo only.

yansh hurry no mean say e go 1st face enter house

dey no dey force pikin to grow big teeth as long as e get big mouth cover am

eddiebruk:
Them no dey use power stand pr1ck
