Meaning: The solution to the problems in a community would invariably be found within the community

Perfect example na the way Owo Community people take join-hand catch hoodlums wey do the killing for inside Catholic Church on Sunday last week for Ondo state.


Dem say maize dey die after e bear fruit because e no dey rooted into de ground.


You will never get to the top and stay prosperous without a good foundation.


Dem say no sail with another person star


Avoid copying someone else, just because someone has been successful in what he or she does should not be what will make you to do the same thing and expect to be successful.

My people yesterday make me 90days for the forum and where I dom reach today na una help me.
