The preeminence of food security: 

Ohun t'a a je l'agba ohun t'a a se.
(Seeking what we are going to eat is more important than what we are going to do) 

Eru Inu la a k'odi k'a to di 'tode
( one must pack his or her stomach full first before packing the luggage) 

ALL FOODS ARE NOT EQUAL:

Iyan l'onje (Pounded yam meal is the true beffiting  meal),

Oka l'oogun (Heavy starch cassava meal -oka - is strong like energy drink),

A i ri rara l'a a j'eko (Eko - corn meal - is only the last resort in the absence of the 2 above)


Ki enu ma dile ni ti Guguru. (Guguru(pop corn) is mere snack )

Quenching hunger is the first step toward success. (Ti ebi ba kuro ninu ise, ise buse.)
