Speaking Igbo And Using Proverbs by ChikiChik(f): 8:16pm On Oct 01, 2010 |
I have read something like this before in this site but it was unfurtunate that I was not a member then. Please Igbo speaking people, could you please send in your in an Igbo proverb with the possible interpretation. I really enjoyed the last package like this. Please let us promote our culture. I will start by giving some of mine and their interpretations 1. Ka ahuchatachaa ka mgbo ji tuo enwe nisi (To see all make monkey to sustain bullet on his head.) Ka abia ka abia mere na awo epughi odu (Procastination makes toad not to have tail) |
