Igbo kwenu! Okuko si na nya labara (ura) ula abughi na nya erijugo afo, kama obu na chi ejigo. The chicken said that it went home to roost is not because it has eaten enough food, but because of nightfall. Okuko si na ihe kpatara ya ji ele anya na elu maya riwe nri bu na ihe na egbu ya si na elu abia. The chicken said the reason why it does not desist from looking towards the sky when eating is because the creatures (eg Hawk) that feed on it usually descend from above. Ify nwanyi oma, Youngies, Echelon, Rubi, etc biri kwe nu!! |
