English Transcript:

Greeting to the very distinguished Igbo people. Today on Igbo Proverbs, Idioms and Phrases, we will talk about about protecting your affairs especially where your family members are concerned. It is better to protect them fully and promote forgiveness when they wrong you. Because if you bring your own lunatics to be killed, when the time of madness comes, you will not have any lunatics left to protect you from the lunatics who brought you their madness.

I, Blossom Ozurumba, welcomes you as always. Now, take today's proverb...

Literal Translation: If you kill a warrior during skirmishes at home, you will remember the warrior when when war and fighting comes.
