Nne says: in everything you do, put God first, pray without ceasing and commit all your intentions to him. Kpere chukwu ekpere; gwa ya ihe I choro, O'ga enye gi.
Nne says: “to be forewarned is to be forearmed”, I didn't talk with water in my mouth, heed to my words of #wisdom and the sky will be your starting point in life. Nwam nwannyi! Biko n'ugo ihe nïne m'gwara gi.
