1. "Nwanyi na-ere ogiri ma Ijiji anya piara" - The woman that sells 'ogiri' (a native seasoning, that stinks like poopoo) know the blind housefly. Similar to & the same meaning as: 2. "Agburu na-eji eze ari elu ma osisi na-aku ilu" - The family that climbs with their teeth know the tree that is bitter. 3. "Mmiri ma uma ebu amu, amu kwu ebe o kwu." - The river attempts in vain to carry away the man's manhood, the penis is irremovable. 4. "Ilu adighi aso anya" - The Igbo proverb is no respecter of persons (meaning, you can use any kind of proverb not minding the words. So forgive my number three, I am only invoking my people's culture as a true Igbo man. |
