Na dumka riga babu wuya, wonda ya yanka wuya shi sa ma kainshi

Meaning Usage or Explaination
I have sewn a riga without a neck, let him who cuts a neck for it put it on.

The riga is a shirt with a hole at the top for the head to be put through: if made without this wuya or neck, one would have to be cut before the riga could be put on.

If the cap fits put it on. 

Ba don " riga'n domin " ba, da mutum ya mutu masiachi.

Meaning

If it were not for riga'n domin a man (a fellow) would die poor.

Usage or Explaination

Riga'n domin: because of some one else, for some one else's sake, through some one else's influence.

We die poor only if we dont have an influence of someone in our lives.
