Any of those proverbs that you can remember lets add it here

Proudly "ESAN"
Ibhabulu:

Ejia khian aghe: where you are headed is where you face (be focused)
Uhonmoi wo se na re kha sin ivin: the head cannot be so strong and it is thus used in breaking palm kernel

I wan talk something...i go talk true, i no go lie..

ESHAN people too wicked.

In 2013, i did business with one Eshan man....till date the man no gree pay my money.

My last GF na ESHAN.....make i no go into the details of my life...but the truth remains if you see a snake on your right and then see an Eshan woman on your left, just kill the ESHAN woman first b4 you reason the snake.

Maybe there are some good Eshan people, maybe the OP is one of them...Maybe..

But truth be told, i have never met one Eshan person that is good. NEVER.

Proudly ishan.
