Nwanyi umu iri o dighi ihe mere nabali o naghi ama - (Tough one) To my understanding, it means, "the bigger the better".
Well in some cases I'd say.
Ewu mmadu abuo nwere na-ehi ura nezi. - Hmm, another tough one. I think it means there's no gain in two people making two mistakes.

U try small. 67.333%.
Nwanyi umu iri o dighi ihe mere nabali o naghi ama. U r close to right.
Literal meaning: When a woman has ten children, there is nothing that happens in the night that she does not know about.
Ewu mmadu abuo nwere na-ehi ura nezi.
Its used among business people : With joint ownership, each owner shunts his responsibility to the other, with the result that nothing gets accomplished.

What don't you get, the translations, explanations? If you're not Igbo, your situation makes sense.
