I'm not really good at this but I have heard elders speak so many times, some which I can't even recall
My entry:
* proverb:chick wey go grow turn better fowl,elders dey Sabi right from the day mother hen hatch am
Meaning: You can easily foresee the future of something or someone through the character with which they portray today and be certain which one turns out to be a 'bad egg' .
* proverb:na only mumu dey dip two leg for river to Sabi in depth
Meaning: you don't just go into making decisions or doing something without thinking of its repercussions.
* proverb:man wey dey pay loyalty give people wey get mouth pass am dey pave way for him own time to come
Meaning: respect is reciprocal and what goes around comes around; what anyone sows is what he reaps.
* proverb:person wey no know one thing fit still know another thing
Meaning: no one knows everything but everyone knows something that the other does not.
* proverb:no abuse the forest wey shelter you,come dey call am jungle simply because e no dey spacious
Meaning: don't neglect or insult who's taking your responsibilities as his priorities simply because he isn't presentable as your dumb brain thinks ; always be proud of them no matter what.
