      Igala is the tribe spoken by the people of the Igala Kingdom. Idah is the epicentre (positive use, ie) of the Igala Kingdom; from here, the Paramount Ruler, The Attah of Igala who is seated on his throne within his palace, rules the affairs of the kingdom.

The proverbs are usually handed down by word of mouth like most folk lores. Unfortunately, just like folk lores, proverbs are becoming a forgotten aspect of our culture in our ever present quest to become more 'modern'.
