I am excited to write about yoruba proverbs because much of the ideals, religion,morality and courtesy of this great people are interwoven in proverbs.
The need for me to write this proverbs is so obvious :educated natives of Yoruba land are not well acquainted with the wise sayings of their land,
Proverbs are the poetry and the moral science of the Yoruba Nation . Many of them contain traditional observations on the nature of things :some educational ,deal with man's duties and a few are simply an ingenious play upon words.
In my subsequent post, i will draw out much of this wisdom of the past and make it permanent in print.
