Digo women are among the best wives one can have. They are beautiful and caring. However, there are times when they will be fed up with your madness.
Here are three Digo proverbs that they are likely to use when pissed off.
1. “Yezira chapkwe ni ndezi” (Whoever disowns his own is a wild rat)
Whenever a rat is trapped, it disowns its own leg by gnawing it and this can be directed at you if you have deserted her. Men who fail to fulfill their responsibilities are compared to wild rats among the Digo.
2. “Wakala kanga wa tsongo achifukirira azima” (You are like a one-eyed guineafowl scratching for the other sighted ones)
A blind guineafowl cannot see all the things she is scratching up thus the other birds will come and feast on his sweat. You should not that if you never listen to her suggestions on how things should be done, she is likely to call you a one-eyed man unable to use her support to progress or be safe.
3. ”Wa koma kazoreswa chitsaha” (The mad person is not chased naked)
If a mad man is running around naked, make sure, you are dressed before chasing him. A Digo woman is likely to use this proverb if she thinks she will not payback your sins against her by doing wrong to you.
