"Ojo iya ku,
ni wura ola baje,
ojo baba ku,
ni jigi ola wo mi."
(It's on the day a mother dies,
that the golden value
of her family declines.
And it's on the day a father dies,
that his family's mirror of wealth
drowns in a river).
- A popular Yoruba dirge that eulogizes the importance of parents in a family.
