Proverbs: No be person wey first carry Bele dey first born boy
Some people get am as – Nor be persin wey first marry dey first born. I like dis version because e nor dey sexist like d other wan wey dey promote boy child over d girl child. For me, pikin na pikin. Just give anyone wey you born quality education wit love and the sky go be their limit.
