Persin wey wan make dog trust am and be im friend nor dey raise stick where dat dog dey.
Meaning: For one to earn the trust of another, one ought to exemplify it both in words and deeds.

Abeg you go permit me to call you elder because na wetin things wey dey come out from your brain show say you be.
On a norm,person wey wam make you trust am no suppose do tins wey go hurt you no matter anything because no matter how the person  go take beg, once em dom show bad sign before you no go fit trust am again even if you dey relate weller with am. Secondly, e no good for anybody to dey claim Jesus while em be judas because na wetin dey our society today and e dom make tins spoil well well so like dis anybody wey dey closer to me wey dey do anyhow I no feet trust the person at all.

1)You fit use dis proverb on person wey fit say em get spiritual powers pass everyone, when you come notice say your own pass the person own, you let the person know say em power na pikin compared to wetin you get.


2) person wey dey always claim say no body sabi something pass am, like for book or skill wey em dey do, you go also let the person know say em wisdom and knowledge na childs as your own na baba wia em own dey.


You fit still add your own meaning as we dey learn everyday.
