Collection Of African Proverbs Part 2 by tuoyoojo(m): 2:44pm On Jun 29, 2014 |
We all are aware of the massive data loss during the crash that NL was involved in. In other the rebuild our part of the lost data, am starting the thread again cuz there is more from where this came from Happy reading A person does not seek to out laugh one who lost his lips in a laughing contest Its God that nourishes a rice plant that grows on a rock When a rat laughs at a cat, there must be a hole nearby When unclothedness promises u a dress, 1st look at what its wearing No matter how dark a night is,the hand would never miss the mouth A person whose wife has just given birth to his 1st first son is not forced to laugh before he does The nodding of a lizard does not mean that everything is fine The "numerousity" of the millipedes' legs does not make it run faster than a fowl The monkey that waits to see the hunter receives the bullet in it's eyes The eyes eats before the mouth No matter how close a tree is to the kolonut, it cannot bear nuts for the kolanut trees A caged antelop is not asked what is wrong with it A man who dies because of the love of a woman would miss that of a thousand women A hungry man eats his meal halfway before asking for salt A mother can chew for a child but cannot swallow for him It is not every open eyes that sees What eva is capable of plucking out the eyes is best inspected from a safe distance The most difficult person to wake is he who is pretending to sleep Everyone has shortcomings but if yours becomes alarming , others forget theirs and debate yours The palm nut which ripens on a pathway is for anyone to pick One does not open a palm oil factory because of one ripe palm fruit tree The list goes on....
