1. A fowl never has two holes on its anus. 2. Before you ask the dog for a chair, you must have seen it sitting on one. 3. You all have witnessed how the blind man dodged the knife blow (difficult situations) 4. If The lady bent down in the midst of the market without shame, why should I be shy of bending down to take a peep? 5. Let me not waste all the time adjusting my pen1s while those who came to bang round up and leave me behind. 6. The boa that tells the noise-making bird to leave his spot does so because if the hunter notices and kills the bird and comes to pick it, he will discover the boa also, and kill it too. 7. If we dwell so much on the sweetness of s3x, we may puncture the child in the womb. 8. It is not by crying everyday, that God should seize all powers from the Devil. If God seizes it, will you accept the power? 1 Like |

He that cut shaki inside peppersoup without closing his eye is capable of murder. He who fries a bunch of plantain without tasting one is resourceful. Anyone that removes ur 3% battery to charge his own 95% battery is a contract killer. He that must govern some states doesn't need more than few bags of rice. Don't put all your eggs in one basket if you post a comment on the internet do a back up on ur phone to avoid stories that touch.. 7 Likes |

1. It is only a foolish man that will ask a frog ( that is always squatting), to give him a seat. Don't be over-demanding. 2. The nodding of a Lizard's head doesn't mean that all is well. Always be optimistic. 3. To a hungry man, bitter is sweet. Long throat dey kill. Lol 4. You will only know your true friends when you're death. Trust no one. 5. It is better to be hated for who you are, than to be loved for who you're not. Be original cos those who will love you will, & those who won't, won't. 1 Like |

Its only a fool that points to his fathers house with his left hand. The visit of d masquerade is never without messages from d gods. You can only run around a pepper tree, you can never climb it. Do not swim i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ shallow water if you do not want your back to show. He who has an urgent message to deliver does not wait for the rain to stop. I love african proverbs 1 Like |
