Greetings Village!
#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to Liberia today.
The Liberian proverb says, "A little rain each day, will fill the rivers to overflowing." This proverb teaches us that small, consistent actions can lead to big results. If we work hard every day, even if it's just a little bit, we will eventually achieve our goals.
In the context of personal development, this proverb reminds us that we don't have to do everything at once to make progress. We can start by making small changes in our lives, such as setting small goals, exercising for 10 minutes a day, or reading for 30 minutes a day. Over time, these small changes will add up to big results.
Join me on the #AFIAPodcast at 6am PST/4pm EAT on YouTube @okelojavan to discuss this proverb and how it can apply to our lives. Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Greetings Village! This is #DailyAfricanProverbs, where we explore the wisdom of African cultures. Today, we're in Nigeria, where we learn the proverb "The river may dry up but she keeps her name." This proverb reminds us that even though things may change or disappear, our identity and legacy can still live on.
In the case of a river, even if it dries up, its name will still be remembered. This is because the river has left its mark on the land, and its story has been passed down through generations. In the same way, our lives may change and come to an end, but our legacy can live on through our words, our actions, and the people we touch.
Join me on the #AFIAPodcast at 6am PST/4pm EAT on YouTube @okelojavan to discuss this proverb in more detail. Share your thoughts in the comments below!

#DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to Egypt today.
The #Egyptian proverb says, "Put a rope around your neck and many will be happy to drag you along." This proverb means that if you make yourself vulnerable, people will take advantage of you. It's a warning to be careful who you trust and to be mindful of your own safety.
In this video, I discuss the meaning of this proverb and share some examples of how it can be applied to our lives.
