I try ask them watin be the vital way really folo the yarn but, them no gree talk shah.
Na because owa people sey persin wey dem throw proverb give and come still explain am to, d money wey dem take marry im mama waste, na im make dem nor gree explain am to you. Dem nor want make your papi money waste 😏

Proverb:
For we Pighin: Them say, e go better make person way don dey chop or drink dey chop or drink dey go. Dan for that person to stop to chop and give way to person way never chop to chop.
Nor mind dem dat yarn na street slang, nor be proverb per se. But e good as you identify am.
