More of a maxim; a slang. Hope you know the meaning though.

I know the meaning , ie the literal meaning, but there has to be something that this is trying to convey cos the literal meaning makes no sense.

"Ejighi Igbo agwa ya onye ocha"

Means that you expect someone you are dealing with to understand you/ your desires without much explanation
