e zuo ka aha eri udele a totue ngiga.

it means: When the vulture eaters have assembled, they will bring down the "ngiga" _{Ngiga is a kind of small metal basket used in the kitchen for storing ingredients and smoked fish}

ifyalways:

hmmn i tughari ihe a ekweghim oooooo mana a mam ihe o putara sha.somebody nyere m aka.lol

Take more benefit of doubt but do not abuse it! 

echelon gini mere na i tughari di ngiga? e chere m na i maghi na o dighi easy?nkwa dalu maka nke i tughariri mana o dighi complete now.i ka agbali tugharia ngiga.

agbusi gba otule,o muru ako meaning, once bitten twice shy
awo anaghi agba oso ehihie na efu, no smoke without fire.

Ngiga = Metal basket

Evidently the English do not have a single word for that because they do not store their fish over the fireplace in the kitchen
_{whatever you want to hear?}

Ify,

I think echelon is correct in his translation of "ngiga".

My only addition is that it is not always the best thing for another to continue to transtale proverbs for the other, because, ndi Igbo si na onye aturu ilu ma kowara ya, mara na ego ejiri luta nne ya nara n'iyi.

Anybody that is fond of waiting for the explanation of a proverbs said to him/her, might as well know that the bride price of his/her mother is a waste.
