My chief no wahala we dey wait for you.
Make I still drop another meaning for the proverb as we dey wait,

Meaning:1) Evil doers are not known until they are exposed or caught.
Meaning 2) A cheating man or woman is not known until he or she is infected by a noticeable infection.
For we naija today, so many people dey survive doing evil and nobody dey worry dem until dia cup full and uniform men grab dem na when people dey realize say na evil doings dem dey survive on. The case of David Lyon wey police officers grab for abj na typical example of dis one.

Dem nor dey ask He-goat where im sleep. Na whether im wake from sleep or not dem dey ask am.
Meaning and usage: This proverb is usually applicable in philandering/flirting situations. It simply means that every beneficiary should be contented with what they're getting from their benefactor once they're able to get what is due to them instead of seeking to prevent the benefactor from dishing out same goodies to others.

Let me break it down. A woman whose husband keeps side-chicks shouldn't be bothered with what he does outside but be concerned that the husband plays the good guy at home by taking up family responsibilities.

@Hyconic, I go give you half of d mark because of the "flirt" wey you mention there. Na only you come close to the answer.

When you are working for someone and you are giving your all but he/she doesn't appreciates it and treats you badly and you keep your head down and pretend it's actually nothing because you have something you are trying to get/achieve and when you finally achieves it, you can let the person know about his/her actions.
