Igbos are well renowned for their use of proverbs or idioms in expressing themselves. Let us build a catalogue of these proverbs with explanation in English language so that other tribes will appreciate how rich our heritage is.

nwanyi na akpa aku akpa onu ma onu egbughi ya aku egbo ya.:a woman dat is gathering wealth and mouth if her mouth did not kill her ,then wealth will kill her.
o gbara nwa awu owku nyere la ya aka ije ije.he who kick a toad helps it  in walking.
