It's not all the dogs that bark at one at the marketplace that one responds to. [Be focused; ignore distractions; it's not all issues that should command one's attention.] #OWEYORUBA #AKOMOLEDEYORUBA #AKANLOEDEYORUBA https://www.instagram.com/p/BwF9FRMJiTg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2p3en924gapn

No one can be so wealthy as to own the horn of a horse (since horses have no horns). [No one has it all made; we need one another.] #OWEYORUBA #AKOMOLEDEYORUBA #AKANLOEDEYORUBA https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv3bRSKJYxY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y8wmwn6rmx38

The same rain that fell on the bitter leaf, fell on the sugarcane. [Bitter or vengeful responses are by choice; our reactions, regardless of situations, tell of who we really are deep down.] #OWEYORUBA #AKOMOLEDEYORUBA #AKANLOEDEYORUBA #africanculture https://www.instagram.com/p/BuyD_85lVqh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nwiuvwdespr

A farmer ploughed his farm, but refused to plant any corn & claimed he's hurting the ground squirrel; he hasn't hurt the squirrel, but himself.

Ikú kì í jẹun ẹni kó tún pani' which literarily means, death cannot insist on taking one's life after eating one’s food. ・・・ Repost @abalayenigeria ・・・ This proverb is one of the extractions from Ifá corpus. The story is centered on Ọ̀rúnmìlà, Èṣù and Ikú (Death). There was once a disagreement between Ọ̀rúnmìlà and Ikú, so Ikú as his name implies vowed to kill Ọ̀rúnmìlà. This made Ọ̀rúnmìlà consult his oracle. The divination directed Ọ̀rúnmìlà to prepare a sacrifice and place it at the T-junction. So Ọ̀rúnmìlà did as the oracle instructed. Èṣù, the deity in charge of sacrifice had quickly taken the sacrifice to the path way leading to Ọ̀rúnmìlà's house, on the day Ikú promised to take away his life. Ignorantly, Ikú ate the meal prepared by Ọ̀rúnmìlà after which he embarked on his mission. As Ikú was about to enter the house of Ọ̀rúnmìlà, he met Èṣù who engaged him in a brief conversation. Ikú declared his mission to take Ọ̀rúnmìlà's life, Èṣù then reminded him of the sacrifice at the T-junction. Ikú said he just finished eating the meal. At that point, Èṣù burst into laughter in disagreement to the mission of Ikú. Èṣù now proverbially said: 'Ikú kì í jẹun ẹni kó tún pani' which literarily means, death cannot insist on taking one's life after eating one’s food. Hence, it becomes a proverb to this day that ikú kì í jẹun ẹni kó tún pani which denotatively means that you can't hurt a person who has done you a favour in the past. • ©️Àbáláyé Nigeria 2019. • #abalayenigeria #oweYoruba #yorubainstagram #bbcyoruba ・・・ #ancestralkitchen #diasporaifa #ifadiaspora #vegansofifa (at Drop Squad Kitchen) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs4RRKxHsUt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xckxr3h9hpf4
