Prove You Are Real Nigerian.. (pix) by vchykp(op): 12:16am On Dec 03, 2016
[b]Nigerians are well known for thier wise saying and proverbs, nigerians are found anywhere and everewhere in the world, nigerians are always proud of thier origin.

Nigeria comprises of three major ethnic group namely Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa

Its time to proof our real origin by commeting with proverbs in our local dialet and its meaning.

I will start first, am an igbo...

-Dinta muta atuhi atu agba, nunu amuta ebehi ebe efe
(Since the hunter has learnt to shoot without target, the bird has also learnt fly without peching)

-Ihe agadi nodu ala were fu, nwata rigoro elu osisi aman fu ya
(What an adult sit down to see, a child can never see it even when he climbs a tree)

-Ejekamu ije kara onye isi awo mara
(A traveler is wiser than a grey head adult sitting in a place without going out)

-Ire oma ka ejino ji aga la ogwu
(The snail passes torns with good tongue)...

NOTE: Correction is welcomed, feel free to comment no matter your tribe, and remember to add the meaning.

Lets keep it rolling...
