A Collection Of African Proverbs...remix by tuoyoojo(m): 10:38pm On Jun 30, 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....

More to come later
