when a bum bum is spoilt it will be for the owner of the bum bum, the meaning of this proverb is that if anything bad happens to you, you will be the one to take care of it.

it is a kind of Yoruba proverb I don't know if you are from Nigeria and Yoruba tribe you will understand

That's lovely first time I'm hearing it though. Yoruba people really have nice proverbs.

There's also one that's similar that my mom taught me but in pigdin who shit no dey remember the smell na who pack am go remember

Meaning it's only those who suffered the consequences of an action that can totally relate to how it felt
