#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Gambia
The Proverb says: βHowever black a cow is, the milk is always white.β
The milk always comes out white, no matter what color the cow is. That's just how it is. You could have a black and white cow, a brown and white cow, or even a purple cow, and the milk would still be pure white. It's amazing, really.

The saying "it takes a village to raise a child" is often used to emphasize the importance of community in the development of young people. Although the proverb originated in Nigeria, it is now used by people all over the world to describe the important role that families, friends, and neighbors play in a child's life. According to the proverb, it takes more than just parents to raise a happy and well-adjusted child. It takes a whole community of supportive adults to provide love, guidance, and opportunities for growth.

How to Stay Positive When Leaders are in a Bad Mood | AFIAPodcast
Thursday Sep 29, 2022
Thursday Sep 29, 2022
Greetings Village!
#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Mauritius
The Proverb says: "When a leader changes mood, followers change places of their abode."
If you've ever had a boss who was in a bad mood, you know how quickly the mood can change in a office. The same is true for leaders. When a leader is in a bad mood, followers tend to change their place of abode. This Mauritius Proverb highlights the importance of leaders setting the tone for their followers. If a leader is happy, upbeat, and positive, chances are good that the followers will be too. But if a leader is angry, resentful, or depressed, the followers are likely to pick up on those negative vibes and become unhappy as well. That's why it's so important for leaders to be aware of their mood and try to stay positive, even when things are tough.

Why You Need To Be Passionate About The Things You Love | AFIAPodcast

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Seychelles
The Proverb says: "A dog that lives on the bank of a brook never tires of lapping the water."
It's no secret that dogs love water. They'll happily splash around in a puddle, play in the sprinklers, or go for a swim at the beach. But why is it that our furry friends are so fascinated by water? Perhaps it's because they instinctively know that they need to stay hydrated. Or maybe they just enjoy the feel of the cool liquid on their hot toes. Whatever the reason, there's no denying that dogs have a special affinity for water.

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Moambique
The Proverb says: "On a dead tree there are no monkeys"
In many parts of the world, monkeys are seen as playful and mischievous creatures. They are often portrayed in children's stories and movies as climbers and acrobats, frolicking among the branches of trees. However, in Mozambique, there is a proverb that warns against putting all your eggs in one basket - "On a dead tree, there are no monkeys." The meaning is clear - don't put all your trust in one person or thing, because they may not be there for you when you need them. The proverb is a cautionary tale, but it also contains a kernel of truth.

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Equatorial Guinea
The Proverb says: "He who learns to eat without reservation must learn to starve."
It's a harsh saying this one, but an ultimately true statement. Those who want to enjoy the bounties of the world without learning how to live with less will eventually find themselves going hungry. The ability to self-restrict is an important skill, one that can help you to enjoy life more fully by appreciating what you have.

The Ruin of A Nation Begins In The Homes of its People | AFIAPodcast
Thursday Sep 22, 2022
Thursday Sep 22, 2022
Greetings Village!
#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Ghana
The proverb says: "The ruin of a nation begins in the homes of its people."
If the Ghana Proverb is to be believed, the key to a nation's success lies in the homes of its people. After all, it is in the home that children are raised and values are instilled. It is in the home that families bond and memories are created. Therefore, it stands to reason that a nation is only as strong as its homes. If homes are happy and supportive, then the people who live in them will be more likely to thrive. On the other hand, if homes are full of conflict and dysfunction, then the people who live in them will be more likely to struggle. Consequently, the state of a nation's homes has a direct impact on the state of the nation as a whole.
