“Ọwụghị ịkọọchaa ji, ga-aghọrọ ede!”
"You cannot plant yam and reap cocoyam"
Duh!
Yes thats right. Everyone should know that right? No!
We forget all too often, but this life lesson is so important that it bears repeating - you reap what you sow! Some call it Karma, others call it the law of sowing and reaping, some apply it to the afterlife but we Igbos speak of what happens in this life and we know that you cannot plant yams and reap cocoyams. Watch what you sow. Enough said!
