I know you will not give before na. Okay, let me give you one Ibo proverb translated into English free of charge. " The head fish will not heed warning until it receives a blow to it's head". Tell me if you want more, and forget the money part

If you have more you can list them. But I'm looking for general cool sayings and words. Not proverbs. Like what's the difference between ajebutter and ajepako. Slang.

the "i no come lagos to come count bridge" means , someone who came to lagos for hursling or serious business while the " i get am before no be property" means that been a rich man in the past does'nt mean anything. If you wnt more i can give you.
