Original Proverb: Rashin sanni yafi dare duhu
English Translation: Ignorance is darker than the Night.
Country of Origin: Nigeria
Explanation of the Wisdom: It is most definitely true that ignorance is a very unfavourable state - it is dark! I can honesty say that when we are ignorant of certain facts and truths, it leaves us in a state of deep darkness, as though our eyes have been literally removed and we can't see. Worse still is to refuse to admit or ask questions when we are unsure but take actions based on little or no information. Knowledge, like light, is a must for us all, we must seek and love it! Ignorance isn't an option, like darkness, it's terrible and we must resist and hate it!
