LIFE APPLICATION: Spectators who watch athletics events in stadia understand the fact that athletes who compete in competitions are endowed differently. And those who run fastest normally win in most races. Most of those who lost out in such competitions are naturally slower runners. Yet, they certainly complete their race, in their own time. Life is like a race between competitors. The Proverb recognizes the fact that success or achievements in life could be great, sudden and overwhelming. The fame, riches or prosperity of some celebrities maybe so sudden beyond human comprehension. But there are still some who become rich, successful and famous through talent, wisdom, diligence, resilience and prudence. Etsakor Proverbs of the Edo People of Nigeria.
