D way you lay your mat, na so you go sleep on am!
Meaning: You’re the best person to advise yourself, either good or bad.
I wish sey youths go really take data advice as dem still dey young bc na d koko you yarn there so.
E get some people way the find who go the help them lay their bed, hence them the always find good samaritan way go come to their rescue for something them fit do of their own energy and will. Life no ought to be like that, if person no advice you on the way forward then you gat advice yourself.

Make I drop my own proverb now.
Our people say if small pikin get mind stand the insult elder, that pikin get another elder way dey behind the back am.
Meaning: some troubles way we the face fit luk small for eye but the root cause fit dey very strong. Approach all troubles with wisdom and caution.
