YORUBA PROVERBS AND JONATHANIAN MESS. JONATHAN/AIDES: Ati ti ooje bo olosa lowo Oku Baba eni ti yio bo.( The Chief priest has been invested with power, where is the father bold enough to remove it). OPPOSITION: Bi igba ba do jude ao sii, bi ko se si ao foo(If the calabash face down, we would force open, if not we break it into pieces} JONATHAN: Ka ka ki eku ma je sese, ao fi se awa danu ( if the rat is unable to access and eat from the pot, then it spill it content) OPPOSITION: Adete kole fun wara, sugbon ole danu ( the leper may not be able to milk a cow into a bow but it can tilt the bow and spill the content). THE MASSES/PEOPLE: Bee won sini:(1).Agba kii wa loja kori omo tuntun woo (the presence of elders in the market should ensure that the new born babys head is not badly shaped). (2). Bi omode ba ngegi ni igbo, awon agba lon ma ibi ti oma wo sii (when the young ones are focusing energy on felling a tree in the bush, the elderly ones are keen on the direction of the fall of the tree. THE ELDERS/STATEMEN,?????????????????????????????????.Hmm, Ibi eba waa oko wa ree, enyin nu olohun nu (well, wherever you pilot our affairs, we leave you to God to judge). SHOULD THESE BE THE RHETORIC AT THIS TIME?
