TV personality Morayo Afolabi-Brown has revealed the meaning of a Yoruba proverb which her aunt made her understand.
The co-host of Your View on Television Continental (TVC) said in an Instagram post on Thursday while celebrating her aunt’s birthday that the woman helped her understand that if one goes in search of wealth and finds honour, one should simply return home.
“She made me understand this popular Yoruba phrase, ‘ti o ba n wa owo, to ba pade iyi lona, pade lo si le’ (if you set out looking for wealth and you receive honor on the way, go back home),” the broadcaster wrote.
“What this means is that wealth is gotten to purchase honor. If without money, you have honor, just go back home because honor attracts wealth.”

Mrs Afolabi-Brown described her aunt as a rock who celebrates and scolds her when necessary.
“She is a mother who simply knows! You know you have arrived, when the world doesn’t bother you because you have a solid rock who celebrates you and scolds when you goof,” she wrote.
Afolabi-Brown concluded that the day she would pour out her heart in celebration of her aunt was coming.
