. . . er. . . Is the first one a proverb?!

Yes contemporary proverb I must say.

You know it is always developing and changing

Like

if a snake refuses to show its venom, children will use it to bundle firewood.

will become obsolete when children will ask you ‘what’s firewood’

the "firewood" can be anything.

remember, it's a proverb, so its kind of hypothetical.

cheers man.

i'll be back with loads of more, the work is killing me here but it's all good,
man must wack !!

When the palm head falls to the ground, a woman will walk on it 



There's a history behind it. . . in the days of our forefathers  palm heads were usually harvested by climbing to the top of the tree and cutting them down. Due to the high degree of risk associated with this particular occupation, only 'highly' trained individuals did this job. The palm head harvesters, who often doubled as palm wine tappers, were an exclusive group, even among men.

Hopefully, the proverb now makes sense. . . since the only way for a woman in those days to 'walk' on the palm head would be if it was on the ground!

These days, however. . . 

Tell a child to wash his body, he washes his stomach.

All prayers end in Amen.

if a farmer encounters what is bigger than the farm, he sells the barn.

A goat that dies in a barn was not killed by hunger.

If the vulture fails to hover at the end of a sacrifice, then you know that something happened in the land of spirits.

Salute the deaf; if the heavens don't hear, the earth will hear.

It is an unfortunate person that washes his hands to break palm kernels only for chickens to consume the lot.

A person that lives beside a stream does not wash his hands with spittle.

@ wormedup

When a child eats the food for which he has kept awake, his eyes are heavy with sleep.

He that must eat a toad should eat a robust one, so that when he is called a toad eater he will bear the title with dignity.
