Are we now on proverbs or still at African proverbs?

What do you think we are on? Didn't you read the subject? Don't you have your own, somebody asked you this before.

Proverb: You should not be proud of a locust's head.
Meaning: Someone should show humility if they wish to be respected.

Shame on you This aggression is uncalled for. Atleast if we are to include proverbs from the taliban, its only fair to be told so.

You still haven't answered my questtion?

@Mc yes what I've posted here is African.
@Mukiri is there anything to answer in your question? Maybe you want to make some fun, but it's misplaced. you never get out of your misconceptions and mistaken beliefs?

Boss guys are qualifying their proverbs, Kikuyu, Luo, Oga, Ghanean etc....how about yours?

I left out that intentionally. So that @Mc will continue thinking I'm who he thinks I'm. @mukiri you can choose to tell your kids these proverbs or not, up to you. Just know they are from "shakabala" aka handsome Black people as @chepkel called.

Proverb: Eat your bowl/plate.

Meaning: Zero grazing. Everybody to "land" only within your territory. This world is now dangerous.

@Mukiri it's an African proverb, it's Kenyan. But I know you won't understand what I mean when I say it's "African", you'll still insist on the tribe (I'm Kenyan). ISOKEY.

Scale keeps getting lower. Now I just find you childish. A non-intelligent childish terrorist/sympathizer.

But Im not giving up on you. When you man-up, I think there might be some hope.

Proverb: An enemy dies not of old age in foreign land (this is for @Kiash)
Meaning: You'll be burried at your own original place. This proverb reminds people about the inevitability of things. It was used by my people, during the colonial times, in reference to the colonialist. (African, Kenyan)

Similar to below:

Proverb: Water does not stay in the sky for ever.
Meaning: Suffering is not everlasting, therefore one should never despair. (African, Kenyan)

The man who marries a beautiful woman, and the farmer who grows corn by the roadside have the same problem

African parents don't know how to say sorry.. the closest you will get to a sorry is a 'have you eaten'
