Meaning: Some one that has passed you in whatever level of life endeavor has past you. Your best chance is to learn from him or her in order to be like him or her.

Person wey pass person still pass am, no matta what. E just be like as people begin compare Cubana Chief Priest with the main Cubana dude himself wey be Obi Cubana. The matta nor relate well at all na. The Chief Priest imsef sabi sey na boy wey im still be to Obi Cubana no matta d small change wey enta im hand.

Like play like play, this Obi Cubana name don turn something way go tai before people go forget am o. See name way been dey exist but, people no bin dey really think of am plenty and now, e don dey turn watin my guy dey use make analogy, lol...
Anyhow shah, the proverb way you drop so resemble my won shah but, if you check am well eh, if we wan commot respect be that o because, correct boy go always wan pay respect to e master. If we wan look am via hustle side, boy fit actually get the pepper pass en master o. If you check watin I talk now, you go see say I use 'pass', that na to mean say, e fit or e dey happen. In fact, many times cef. Like if we look Wizkid and Banky now for the industry, e go hard for anybody to believe say, Wizkid no pass Banky W na!

Naija and trends, na our way shah, make life for dey sweet we dey go, no dull moment. Anyhow shah, to ginger matters up for the proverb matter, I get one small one to drop for una.

Proverb: E no get how room wan dark reach way Penis no go know road to where the opening for woman virgina dey.

No matter how dark a room might be, tge penis will always know where the virginal opening is.

Meaning: what is yours or what you know will always stick with you as though, there is a mapping to it embedded in your brain.

No reason am to much, na so the life just be, watin go be go be and watin be your own, na your own.
