I have been meaning to do this for a while now but each time I get distracted and laggard. I want us to have an avenue of sharing some of our indigenous proverbs while still learning the crypto stuff.

— E don tey wey I be dey plan to do this thing here but each time too much distractions dey carry my mind comot from am. I go like make our area people share some of our local proverbs here with their explanations. I go put the proverbs in bold.

Share a proverb, and then put up its meaning. It will be best if the proverb is written in pidgin English.

Make I kick start am with some Warri flavour. Area!

Nor be today wey yansh don dey back.
Meaning: We are used to such a situation.

Dem nor dey tell blind man sey salt nor dey soup, you fit tell am sey oil nor dey.
Meaning: Obvious things don't need explanations.


All these Proverbs have many way of communicating to our society to caution and to improve knowledge. OP I commend you for once again bring to the table in order to enhance us more "mine" is pikin wey dey in mama or papa shoulder don't know how far the journey be meaning that one who is not taking responsibility don't know what it take to provide another is person wey fall with basket for play ground tell public what she carry meaning person who exposed his secret and problem give room for mocking and criticism
