The ones wey dey funny to me most na all dz wise words Pete Edochie dey talk for movies....

1. The cow in a hurry to go to America will come back as corn beef.

2. When a goat laughs upon hearing that the lion is around, one needs to find out the kind of grass it has been eating.

3. Never open the door for an Armed Robber, let them break it, it’s part of their job

African proverbs in pidig?
« Reply #4 on: January 23, 2023, 03:14:15 PM »
I have been meaning to do this for a while now but each time I get distracted and laggard. I want us to have an avenue of sharing some of our indigenous proverbs while still learning the crypto stuff.

— E don tey wey I be dey plan to do this thing here but each time too much distractions dey carry my mind comot from am. I go like make our area people share some of our local proverbs here with their explanations. I go put the proverbs in bold.

Share a proverb, and then put up its meaning. It will be best if the proverb is written in pidgin English.

Make I kick start am with some Warri flavour. Area!

Nor be today wey yansh don dey back.
Meaning: We are used to such a situation.

Dem nor dey tell blind man sey salt nor dey soup, you fit tell am sey oil nor dey.
Meaning: Obvious things don't need explanations

1) only a fool uses both feet to gauge a river's depth.
Meaning: You don't enter a situation without giving it some thought first.

2) Knowledge is like a garden; it cannot be gathered if it is not cultivated.

Meaning: You cannot expect to gain anything from information if you do not put it to use. information is something you would not expect to have if you do not make an effort to get it.

3) The sweetest place for sugarcane is its joint.

Meaning: Despite their seeming difficulty, the good and pleasant things in life are ultimately worthwhile.
