Ta wanyi loonde nden a yiɗataa, nder made.

If you hate a pot, don’t desire what comes out of it.

The traditional proverb is used to admonish against double standards. Hating the cooking pot while desiring the food that comes out of it is hypocritical behaviour, embracing a part of something while rejecting another part of the same thing.

• Postproverbial: Ta wanyi loonde nden a yiɗataa,ɓe jongata i makko.
  Translation: If you hate a pot, don’t cook with it.
