You sure sey you hear dat proverb well so? I know sey I dey hear am as – "Old man nor fit dey for house, make goat born with rope wey dem tie am." Wetin make me bother give you dat version na because of the meaning wey you give of am. If you speak am for Igbo (may be you na Igbo too), both dey wan sound alike if persin nor listen wella. But if you dey sure sey na so you hear am, no shaking.

E be like the version for this proverb plenty because, e get another one way I sabi too say, the meaning no far from watin the we dey talk for this one although, no be goat them carry talk am shah. The proverb say,

Proverb:
For we Pighin: adult no go dey for market and pikin neck go come bend.
Meaning: e dey relative shah but the main thing be say, adults go always try to make sure say, nothing go wrong under there watch. Once them see say, the matter wan go out of hand, them go sharply correct am.

Still on still, I go like carry this small chance way I get congratulate you my own person. Mpamaegbu, you na big name and now like this, you do Legendary up, no be chaise. Watin sweet me for body be say, na the same week way me turn Hero na em you Legendary up. That na to say, we dey together and e go touch everybody. Cheers!

Na so the growth dey carry come too because, we dey try dey put our for ourselves make e for better for our one big family. Make una no worry, joy dey come.
