Abii Woo Ni Ahe Nu
The meaning and philosophical significance of Abii Woo Ni Ahe Nu
Abii Woo Ni Ahe Nu is a Ga expression that literally translates as “One does not ask for honey and have water bought for them.” Or, more crudely, “One does not ask for honey and they go and buy water (for him).”
The import of this is that one will get what one asks for. Thus, one should be sure exactly what one wants and hold on to his faith that he will get it. Since our tastes and wants are different, some would want water while others would want honey but the two are not the same. Whichever one one wants, he should hold firm to his faith that it will be granted to him (by God).
