Okukú mar àéwa bià yió shi n' mgbogúji

Okuk' mar' ewa, bia yuo shi n' mgboguji, is a proverbial statement by #Okunano #people. In other words, in the literal meaning, one who wakes up early in the morning to seek for his daily bread, is expected to come back to his house early before dawn. 

But when the opposite is the case, the proverbial statement will now apply, "Okuk' mar' ewa, bia shuo shi n' mgboguji"

     In the other hand, such proverb could be likened to an insatiable human person. 

For instance, one who attends to a function earlier than others, but becomes the last to quit the arena.

     To break the scheme of work to the understanding of a learner/pupil, we take them one by one thus:-

a) Okuk' mar'ewa means = A fowl that wakes up earlier than others.

(b)Bia yuo shi n' mgboguji, means = that because of the fowl's late arrival back home, the dung it is supposed to deficate inside it's roost, it now deposits it on the entrance pavement, because of it's late arrival to it's roost.

     *Evaluation:*

1.Okuk' = Fowl.

2.Mar'ewa= to take off early.

3.Yuo shi = deposits it's dung.

4.Mgboguji =Room's  Pavement.

     This proverb could be used for somebody who started hustling before his age mates or business partners, but unfortunately,he now boards last, hence he says, "Aburu m okuk'mar'ewa, bia shi shi n' mgboguji.✍️
