Some West African Proverbs and their Simple Meaning - Paperback

by Justin Allen (Contribution by), Ramatu Johnson (Author)

Our ancestors have thrived on the use of proverbs to educate, provide clarity and help us understand life for centuries. These proverbs have been passed down in our generations and are still widely used all over Africa today as an integral part of our culture. In this book, I compile some commonly used West African Proverbs and some of my favorite Liberian sayings. There are millions of African proverbs and other wise sayings, but my intention was to create a short list that is easy to read, remember and pass on. I hope you enjoy reading this short book.
