Wabulwa mèso zakala ĝa mbôngi.

To have one's eyes opened (towards secrecy of life), one has to sit in the Mbôngi assemblies.

Mbôngi bôngo kia nsi ye kânda.

The Mbôngi is, by excellency, the "medicine" of a country and its communities.

Mfûndu za boko ka zisômpolongo zu ko.

Secrets of boko are not discussed in a "borrowed" language [that betrays the boko/mbôngi and its system].

Mbil'a boko ni beto kulu.

The call of boko belongs to all of us.
