The dog once said it, according to Igbo people, and he was right: "Ndị nwere ike amaghị anọ ala (those given buttocks at creation, do not know how to sit down). Are the buttocks gold? Their stupidity would become golden! Is it crude oil? They would become very crude, even in stealing public funds! They just don't know how to sit down. Simple.
They may have talents, but these are buried in the sand. Wasted talents! Wasted talents buried in stupidity and crudeness. The remainder: talents for criminality .
So, you want to teach those without buttocks to learn to sit down? They might think that you are undermining their interest and come for you. They should not sit down like other people.
Even the baboon tried it. You can see his scars. Let him sit down let us see!
Trainers and experiences can come from far and near to teach how to sit down. Colonial invasions, coups, elections, selections, court sittings, impeachments, etc. Those with buttocks unwilling to learn how to sit down. Too bad.
The main problem is a will to learn. They are not even ready to learn! They know too much and would want everyone else except they to learn!
If those who have buttocks do not know how to sit down, they would only bring a disgrace to sitting down.
If those that have buttocks do not know how to sit down, what do we expect from those who do not have buttocks? They could start thinking that having buttocks is just a waste of time or recruit some of those who have buttocks to work against having buttocks.
O dog! You are learning to utter proverbs and wise sayings. You want to be a lecturer? Don't go on strike o! They would seize your salary o! That could be terrible.
Those that have buttocks can lend what they have in buttocks business to other creatures and refuse to honour any agreement at home. It is better to pretend to have when one does not have. It is perfectly in line with having buttocks and not knowing how to sit down.
In the assertion that those who have buttocks do not know how to sit down, we are implicitly being counseled to use our resources well, buttocks only an imagistic example. There is also an indictment and advice to change.
Further, there is a presupposition that those equipped with buttocks have resources preset for sitting. But buttocks, for human beings, culturally serve other purposes. First, they are used as indicators of female beauty and have a role in sex. They could also function in balancing. In some kinds of dancing, the shaking of the buttocks is an important language. Generally, buttocks serve for body aesthetics and are important in some cultures.
Those that have buttocks should listen to the country dog. They should know how to sit down.
