The proverb warns that human affection or interest is often shallow, self-serving, and potentially harmful, much like how the ant invades the cornstalk not out of genuine fondness but for its own survival—ultimately hollowing it out and causing damage.
This Yoruba proverb warns against arrogance, pride, and abuse of power when people of low character or poor training suddenly find themselves in authority. It emphasizes that leadership without wisdom, humility, and discipline leads to oppression and destruction.
