#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Senegal
The Proverb says: "The truth is like gold; keep it locked up and you will find it exactly as you first put it away."
Truth is a precious gem that sparkles like gold. Just like we keep our valuable treasures safe, we must protect the truth from damage and erosion. This Senegal proverb teaches us that if we store our truth in a secure place, it will retain its original radiance and shine. But if we expose it to the elements, it can be quickly eroded or even lost. Handle the truth with the utmost care, as you would with a valuable gem.

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Yoruba
The Proverb says: "Truth came to market but could not be sold, however, we buy lies with ready cash."
This Yoruba proverb is a powerful reminder of the world we live in. The truth may be priceless, but unfortunately, it's not always easy to sell. Meanwhile, lies are all around us, and it seems like we're all too willing to buy them with our hard-earned money. But the truth is, no matter how much we pay for lies, they'll never be worth as much as the truth. Strive to seek out the truth in every situation, even when it's difficult or unpopular.

#DailyAfricanProverbs
Today's Proverb says: "The worst you can do to truth is to clothe it in lies, you can't undo it."
The truth is a powerful force, but it can also be a fragile one. The worst thing you can do to truth is to dress it up in lies because once you do, you can never undo it. This African proverb speaks to the importance of honesty and integrity in all aspects of life. Strive to be truthful in your words and actions, even when it's difficult because the truth will always come out in the end.

A single bracelet may not jingle, but it sure can make a statement.
This Congolese proverb reminds us that we are stronger together than we are alone.
Whether it's the support of our friends and family or the power of a community working together towards a common goal, we can achieve great things when we come together.
So let's keep adding more bracelets to our wrists and keep jingling our way to success!

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Kenya
The Proverb says: "People don’t count what they get — they count what they don’t get."
People don't measure their successes by what they have achieved, but rather by the goals that remain out of reach.
It's not about having everything; it's about striving for something greater and learning from the journey even if it doesn't end in success.
Often, it is the lessons learned through failure that can lead to a more successful future.
Focusing on what you have gained should not overshadow acknowledging and appreciating what you have yet to attain.
