Proverb #13

“Ụkwa rue oge ya, ọ daa.” 

Sometimes, it is no good to go pre-empting a situation. So one proverb for inspecting and for allowing curiosity its head [See Proverb 2]and another for hanging loose, standing back, keeping

poised and getting ready.

With a few things, it's all about timing and nothing else. This proverb incorporates the idea of propriety and due patience paid to a thing - "The breadfruit falls off the tree of it's own accord" - That, according to the Igbos, would be when to fetch kit and kin for that traditional meal ... or not.
