Meaning: You'll be burried at your own original place. This proverb reminds people about the inevitability of things. It was used by my people, during the colonial times, in reference to the colonialist. (African, Kenyan)
Similar to below:
Proverb: Water does not stay in the sky for ever.
Meaning: Suffering is not everlasting, therefore one should never despair. (African, Kenyan) Why me  ? i might have changed Nationality so where i live might not be foreign One of my professors quit the US and returned back to Kenya after 30+ years. We were curious why and he gave two reasons - many of his friends and colleagues had passed on, others moved into old people's homes -and the neighborhood deteriorated -with kids mugging people and vandalising homes. Immigrants to the West get lonelier as time advances. These are cold lands, in weather and spirit. Happy adventures @Kiash
