ERE OWE Yoruba(yoruba Proverbs Game):come in,participate And learn! by MisterDreamz(m): 4:10pm On Aug 23, 2018
Yoruba dun,oyin ni!(Yoruba is as sweet as honey)
This is the game:Complete a proverb(Translate in english if you can,for non-Yoruba people),then start another one(to be completed by another user).You can start another one if you can't complete the previous one(to be completed by soneone else).
If your proverb can't be completed for a while,please help complete it.

I don't want the thread to be completely in yoruba so others can learn.

You will be amazed how much you know and you don't know(Eni mo eyi,komo iyen,lo di Ifa fun Orunmila to lo re ko Ifa lodo omo re Amosun...He who knows this does not know that,this is why Orunmila learnt some Ifa verses from his son).

No proverb is too simple!
Sorry for the long intro...pardon any typo!

.....ewa lo bu si...
Ile oba to jo ewa lo bu so
(The king's palace that got burnt,will be rebuilt to be more beautiful than the previous)

In situations of loss,I regard myself as a king(with burnt palace)and make better comebacks...especially academically and business wise.

This proverb became one of my favorites after I first heard it from my grandma(didn't understand it then).
Sorry for the digression!
