Proverbs in most African languages are crisp, pithy and condensed means of saying much with few words. Obii Okweluwe has curated a solid collection of wisdom and inspiration from the African continent that are relevant to the custom, tradition, experience and way of life of the people. These idiomatic and at times diplomatic sayings contain moral lessons and advice that touch on all conditions of life.
