- O wetalu oji wetalu ndu — who brings kola brings life.

- Ofo nna m nyiba m alo... — I will protect all heritages my father handed me.

- Mmuo na anoro ya, mmadu ebulu oche ya — if an oracle vacates its seat, a human takes it.

- Ndi ilo ezuana anyi n'uzo — may we not fall prey to enemies' plans.

- Ile oma ka ejuna ji aga n'ogwu — by a good tongue the snail crosses thorns.

- Onye welu ututu tutuba, o tutujue akpa — start early and the bag fills by evening.

- Nee ubosi taata dozie ya ka o di ka ibe ya — bless today as You did other days.

- O sii nwata jide nkakwu... — who makes a child commit a crime bears the consequence.

- T2's characterization: Igbo prayer = affirmation + praise + proverb + request; never empty-handed; obligating the prayer to follow with right action.
