Proverb #648

“Egwu adịghị kwanụ atụ afọ obuta ụzụ. Mana nkwụcha abụghị kwa ụjọ.”

Editorial

More complex speaking. This is the orator's craft or something a good writer might do. See Proverb #645 . Nogzi  weaves on an allied idea to keep company with another one which is also a proverb. One phrase and another one with an opposite idea. This juxtaposition of ideas may be used to argue a position in diplomatic exchanges. Mana nwkụcha abụghị kwa ụjọ = But to stand still and keep one's peace is not cowardice or fear.
