#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Nigeria
The proverb says: "He who is scared of words, has no heart for deeds."
This saying may also have a more serious meaning. It could be warning against the potential embarrassment of waking up with smelly hands, or it could be suggesting that itching anus can lead to more serious problems if not addressed. In any case, this proverb is a reminder to us all to be mindful of our personal hygiene and to take care of our bodies!

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Mauritius
The proverb says: "The goat’s business is not the pig’s affair."
Have you ever had the experience of trying to help someone and then being told, "Mind your own business!"? Well, that's the sentiment behind the Mauritius Proverb, "The goat's business is not the pig's affair." In other words, each of us has enough to worry about in our own lives without trying to fix everyone else's problems.
Of course, it's not always easy to mind our own business. We see someone we care about struggling and we want to help. But sometimes the best thing we can do is just be there for them and let them work things out for themselves.

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Madagascar
The proverb says: " Govern a country as you would roast a crocodile on a spit."
Anyone who has ever roasted a whole animal on a spit knows that it's not a job for the faint of heart. First, you have to catch the croc - no easy feat! - and then wrestle it onto the spit. Once it's securely in place, you need to keep a close eye on it, making sure to turn it frequently so that it cooks evenly. And, of course, you have to be careful not to get too close or you'll end up as dinner yourself! In many ways, governing a country is similar to roasting a crocodile. And if you can do that, you can do anything!

The proverb says: "He who is scared of words, has no heart for deeds."
If you're afraid to speak up or stand up for what you believe in, then you're not likely to take any meaningful action. This is true in all areas of life - from relationships to careers to social causes. If you're too afraid to speak your mind or stand up for yourself, then you'll never achieve anything great.

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Mauritius
The proverb says: "He who sulks eats his own bellow."
This Mauritian proverb speaks to the importance of good cheer, even in the face of adversity. After all, no one wants to be around someone who is always sulking. Not only is it unpleasant for those around you, but it can also be detrimental to your own health and wellbeing. Studies have shown that people who are pessimistic and negative are more likely to experience health problems, including anxiety and depression. So, next time you're feeling down in the dumps, take a page from this proverb and try to see the bright side of things. You'll feel better for it, and those around you will thank you for it!

The proverb says: "Slander by the stream will be heard by the frogs."
If you're going to gossip, be careful who you say it to because it might just come back to bite you.
This proverb is a reminder that words are powerful things. They can build someone up or tear them down. They can make people laugh or make them cry. And they can certainly spread like wildfire. So, before you engage in idle chatter, think about the possible consequences. Is it worth damaging someone's reputation just to pass along a juicy rumor? Probably not.

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Kenya
The proverb says: " He who is unable to dance blames it on the stony yard."
Those who are unwilling or unable to improve their situation often find excuses instead of solutions. This is true in many areas of life, from personal relationships to professional success. Those who are unwilling to work hard or take risks often blame their lack of progress on external factors beyond their control. However, the real obstacle is usually within themselves. By recognizing this truth, we can take responsibility for our own choices and destiny. Only then can we hope to overcome the challenges we face and achieve our goals.

The proverb says: " An old pot never lacks food remnants."
Any seasoned cook knows the value of a good pot. Whether it's a trusty Dutch oven that's been passed down for generations or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet, a good pot can make all the difference in the kitchen. And as the Kenyan proverb suggests, an old pot is even better. That's because an old pot is full of flavor. The longer a pot is used, the more it becomes seasoned with the remnants of previous meals. This gives food cooked in an old pot a richness and depth of flavor that is simply unattainable with new pots.

The proverb says: " The monkey leaps only as far as it can reach."
As anyone who has ever tried to stretch beyond their grasp knows, it's impossible to leap further than our arms can reach. This simple truth can be applied to many aspects of life. For example, we can't achieve our goals if we're not willing to put in the hard work required to reach them. We also can't expect to find success if we're not willing to take risks. The monkey may only be able to leap a short distance, but by reaching for the stars, we humans have been able to accomplish great things.
