Hukko tekki gaɗa wuro, wande yande der wuro gon go so'oto.

The thing that surrounds a house, will eventually step in to it.

The original proverb warns that a person who maintain a façade will eventually lose his real essence/self. The postproverbial is an expression of the ability of such a person to discard the façade whenever he wishes.

• Postproverbial: Hukko tekki gaɗa wuro, yande go o majjai.
  Translation: The thing that surrounds a house will eventually disappear.
