Bá fùrọ mi sọ́

Talk to my rear-end

This Yoruba proverb “Ẹní fi ojú àná wo òkú; ẹbọra á bọ lásọ”
A person who looks at today's dead with the same eye that saw the living will have his clothes unceremoniously removed by the spirit.

Embedded within a Yoruba proverb lies a powerful metaphor that illuminates the transformation of gender roles, showcasing the strength, progress, and power of modern women. These women have transcended the traditional roles of being seen and not heard, roles that were once imposed on them by men.

Consider this a stark warning for any man who assumes he can demand the duplicate submission, fear, and respect from a modern woman as he does from a traditional one. Be cautious, for such expectations may lead to a fate you will deeply regret.
