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.


@Hyconic you too much and I welcome you specially.
Abeg help us to avoid spamming even as you keep the thread clean,
As you drop one yarning allow make another person drop too before you drop another one.



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.
Na on Wednesday morning I go reward d person wey go get d analysis with 2 buckets of colele wata from my fridge. Make una keep d comments coming. One luv my people.

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.

Meaning: No one will question your source of wealth, just make money then you are accepted.
In our society today, no one cares to know whether you do the right or wrong things once you are living large and pulling exotic cars everyone will be ok and happy, na guess work I do I go appreciate if our eldest elder Mpa help us out.

PROVERB: If your mates dey craze you follow them craze so that dem go cure all of una at one time

MEANING: If your sets of friends are making progress in life why not wake up sets your goals, work harder and become successful in life so  when others are celebrating you could also celebrate with them and not being used as an errand boy or leaving a regretful life.

This one na strong 💪  word oo I no go lie you but I hope say you still remember say as e work for John no be so e go work for Peter?
