When you are working for someone and you are giving your all but he/she doesn't appreciates it and treats you badly and you keep your head down and pretend it's actually nothing because you have something you are trying to get/achieve and when you finally achieves it, you can let the person know about his/her actions.

Dem nor dey ask He-goat where im sleep. Na whether im wake from sleep or not dem dey ask am..

Abeg, I go like make someone analyse dat proverb and still tell us situations where we fit apply am.

To avoid wahala always mind your own business, whatever the other person doesn't is not you problem. Do your things and leave the others part for them to do.
Where you sleep and wake up e doesn't matter. As far ras u see me in the morning I am okay. Or in other way. Dem no dey ask agboro boy where im sleep and work if you see im in the park or in garage then he is fine. U can can use this proverb in a Getto life situation.

Meaning and usage: This proverb is usually applicable in philandering/flirting situations. It simply means that every beneficiary should be contented with what they're getting from their benefactor once they're able to get what is due to them instead of seeking to prevent the benefactor from dishing out same goodies to others.

Let me break it down. A woman whose husband keeps side-chicks shouldn't be bothered with what he does outside but be concerned that the husband plays the good guy at home by taking up family responsibilities.

@Hyconic, I go give you half of d mark because of the "flirt" wey you mention there. Na only you come close to the answer.

Oga mpa lai dis nah you sopoz collect the colele water as nah you get the meaning of dis proverb. Even tho na funny one, e still mean a lot as nah somtin wey dy happen for we society. And big ups to you @Hyconic. Small dey cari dey go till we push d ministry to e permanent site.

Meaning : It is hard to convince a flirt to stop or desist from his lifestyle, it is when he hits rock bottom or contracts deadly sickness that it would dawn on him that he has actually wasted his money and life.

My chief no wahala we dey wait for you.
Make I still drop another meaning for the proverb as we dey wait,

Meaning:1) Evil doers are not known until they are exposed or caught.
Meaning 2) A cheating man or woman is not known until he or she is infected by a noticeable infection.
For we naija today, so many people dey survive doing evil and nobody dey worry dem until dia cup full and uniform men grab dem na when people dey realize say na evil doings dem dey survive on. The case of David Lyon wey police officers grab for abj na typical example of dis one.
