This is what nnem told me not to long ago when I was really frustrated in learning the Igbo language. Cause I know words now, but the trouble is putting them into reasonable sentences. Anyways this is what she told me,

"Iyi mba na-aso ka okwu ha"
(The rivers of a people flow at the
same rate as their language.)
