Hello steemians, I am here again to continue the series of African Proverbs. In most cases it is rarely known who composed a particular proverb. Proverbs are usually accredited to wise men and women or elders of old. In most African societies when proverb is cited, it is preceded with a statement like "OUR FATHERS SAY..."
For today, our fathers say;
• The good look of a moron don't stay that way for long.
• The haughty blind person picks a fight with his guide.
• The orphan does not rejoice after a heavy breakfast.
• The voice of a strong person is obeyed immediately.
• The friend of a fool is a fool.
• The world has reach a sad state in which cracking an egg breaks the pot.
• The end of an ox is beef, and the end of a lie is grief
• The day the monkey is destined to die, all the trees get slippery.
• The cane used in beating the senior wife is waiting patiently for the junior wife.
• One fly causes the whole carcase of a cow to rot.
• Send a thief to catch a thief.
• Living is worthless for one without a home.
Hey! I hope you draw meanings from this proverbs and begin to use them to spice your conversation. Proverbs are wise sayings. Users of proverbs are usually perceived as wise.
Thank you for reading.
