With dis your proverb, I can confirm sey you be Igbo. Our people nor dey joke with dat proverb, especially when dem wan judge matta for community or elsewhere. Dem go want make d accused chook mouth for the matta and explain them own side of wetin happen.

Dat proverb na basically "Ukpala (grasshopper) wey Okpoko (hornbill bird) kill, na deafness kill am. Nor vex sey I dey make correction here. I believe we dey here to learn. Your analysis na just transliteration too whereas e supposed be metaphorically. D meaning dey hidden inside wen you don advise somebodi on several times but dem nor listen and then something bad come happen to dem as dey nor take your advice.
