The fly that fights with the fire is fuel for the flames. | A chick that will grow into a cock can be spotted the very day it hatches. | A child's fingers are not scalded by a piece of hot yam which his mother puts into his palm. | An old woman is always uneasy when dry bones are mentioned in a proverb. | A man who pays respect to the great paves the way for his own greatness. | A proud heart can survive a general failure because such a failure does not prick its pride. | As the dog said, 'If I fall down for you and you fall down for me, it is playing.' | A wise man who knows proverbs, reconciles difficulties. (Yoruba) | Do not look where you fell, but where you slipped. | If a child washes his hands he could eat with kings. | If you don't stand for something, you will fall for something. | It takes a whole village to raise a child. | Looking at a king's mouth one would never think he sucked his mother's breast. | People should not talk while they are eating or pepper may go down the wrong way. | The lizard that jumped from the high iroko tree to the ground said he would praise himself if no one else did. | The mouth which eats does not talk. | The sun will shine on those who stand before it shines on those who kneel under them. | Those whose palm-kernels were cracked for them by a benevolent spirit should not forget to be humble. | When a man says yes, his chi (personal god) says yes also. | When the moon is shining the cripple becomes hungry for a walk. | You can tell a ripe corn by its look. | You must judge a man by the work of his hands.               He is a fool whose sheep runs away twice | The house-roof fights with the rain, but he who is sheltered ignores it | The one who milks the cow is not the same person as the one who removes (plucks out) ticks from a cow | If snake does not behave like snake small children will use it as a belt

Tipping/Customs

No service charge applies. Tipping is not mandatory but a 10% tip in restaurants is normal for good service. Do not feel obliged to tip 10% if your restaurant bill is inflated by the cost of very expensive liquor. Bar staff in pubs are happy with loose change. Porters (bellboys and girls) are generally pleased with $2 per bag in better hotels.

Taxi drivers do not expect tips, but it is usual to `round-up' the fare to the nearest dollar or two - a little more if you have plenty of luggage or the driver has been particularly helpful. Australians are not big tippers, though a few might tip a barber or hairdresser. Visitors may wish to tip a tour guide or tourist coach driver, though it's not expected either.
