TWELVE AFRICAN PROVERBS WITH DEEP MEANINGS

Hello steemians, I am here again to continue the series of African Proverbs. In most cases it is rarely known who composed a particular proverb. Proverbs are usually accredited to wise men and women or elders of old. In most African societies when proverb is cited, it is preceded with a statement like "OUR FATHERS SAY..."

For today, our fathers say;

• The good look of a moron don't stay that way for long.

• The haughty blind person picks a fight with his guide.

• The orphan does not rejoice after a heavy breakfast.

• The voice of a strong person is obeyed immediately.

• The friend of a fool is a fool.

• The world has reach a sad state in which cracking an egg breaks the pot.

• The end of an ox is beef, and the end of a lie is grief

• The day the monkey is destined to die, all the trees get slippery.

• The cane used in beating the senior wife is waiting patiently for the junior wife.

• One fly causes the whole carcase of a cow to rot.

• Send a thief to catch a thief.

• Living is worthless for one without a home.

Hey! I hope you draw meanings from this proverbs and begin to use them to spice your conversation. Proverbs are wise sayings. Users of proverbs are usually perceived as wise.
