It would appear that thr wisdom of our ancestors is out of date.
@chineduozordi has just informed me that the modern version of this proverb is "Onye nwe ego nwe madu."
I stand corrected.
Onye nwe madu ka onye nwe ego.

- I once had a Juve jersey, personally signed by Alex Del Piero when I met him in 2006. Then I married a girl. One day, the jersey vanished. A year later, I found it, or rather, I stepped on it when I came out of the shower. I'm still crying... 😢This woman has given me fair warning that I won't be seeing some of my clothes again going forward. That I've worn them enough. Is it your wear? All marriages are the same. My mum did this injustice to my dad. Where do I file restraining order?
- I need to understand this. Five days after he was killed, @PoliceNG still do not know which of their men fired the government-issued gun that killed #JimohIsiaq? And you want #EndSWAT protesters to believe your tales of reform?
- The man that tries to starve you to death but stops only because the strategy he chose to kill you has backfired will still try to kill you the day he thinks that he has found a tactic that would work. #NigeriaDEVELOPING: Northern traders lift blockade on perishable food supply to south | TheCable thecable.ng/developing-Nor…
- Small family gathering this weekend, and I took my boy along, let him know his people and their ways... He'd never met Uncle Chuma, so I asked him to pay the proper respect and greet Uncle Chuma. The boy prostrated and said, "ekason". Family meeting. On my head. 😭
- The thing that happened in VGC on Saturday is probably the best example of INEC's complicity in voter suppression. No group of thugs would be able to access VGC, so moving all the estate's PUs to the highway without informing them was basically a way to give thugs access.

- The visa application process to western countries for citizens of third world countries is designed to make us know our place at the bottom of the global world order.
- Emotions are raw right now, but ndị Igbo cheta kwa na in this moment, there were many Yoruba, Arewa and other ethnicities that stood with us. Don't fall into the trap of vexing for everyone because of some miscreants. Agbakoo aka nyuo mamiri, o gbaa ụfụfụ. We need others.
- The allegation against Gowon (possibly true) shouldn't have been the main takeaway from Tom Tugendhat's speech at @UKParliament's Petitions Committee meeting on 23/11/20. He said, "the greatest book in the English language is “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe..." SWEET!
- One thing that is clear from the #EndSARS #SARSMustEnd protests is that the chain of command is broken. #Nigeria's government is not in control of @PoliceNG
