“Weetta ohiya nnawu. Wahiya eyano enawutthara.” (If you walk, leave your feet. If you leave your mouth, it will follow you home.)
When you go visiting, if you say anything to anyone, especially about your plans or about anything good that has happened to you, you can count on it being remembered. For instance, if you visit a friend and happen to mention that you caught a lot of fish that morning with your net, you can be sure that the person will follow you home hoping to be given some of the fish. If you don’t want to give your fish away, you had better keep your mouth shut. It is good to visit, just be careful what you say.
