  • The Yoruba Proverb: ”What You Give You Get, Ten Times Over” | AFIAPodcast | African Proverbs

    In this video, we explore the meaning of the Yoruba proverb "What you give you get, ten times over." We discuss how this proverb can be applied to our lives in a variety of ways, and we share three nuggets of wisdom that can help us to live a more fulfilling and abundant life.


    Nuggets of wisdom:

    1. The law of reciprocity: What we put out into the world comes back to us. If we are kind and generous, we will receive kindness and generosity in return.
    2. The power of intention: When we give with a pure heart, our gifts are multiplied.
    3. The importance of gratitude: When we are grateful for what we have, we attract more good into our lives.

    In the spirit of this proverb, I encourage you to start giving more to others. It doesn't have to be anything big. Even a small act of kindness can make a big difference. When you give, you are not only making the world a better place, you are also setting yourself up for a more abundant life.

  • A Shining Face, a Full Belly: The Hausa Proverb on the Importance of Contentment

    The Hausa proverb "A shining face, goes with a full belly"⁷ teaches us that a happy and contented life comes from having our basic needs met. When we are hungry or thirsty, it is difficult to be happy or focused. But when we have enough to eat and drink, we are better able to enjoy life and live our best selves.


    Here are three nuggets of wisdom from this proverb:

    1. Contentment is key to happiness. When we are content with what we have, we are less likely to be stressed or anxious.
    2. Taking care of our basic needs is important for our overall well-being. When we are hungry or thirsty, it is difficult to think clearly or be productive.
    3. Sharing our blessings with others is a way to show our gratitude and make the world a better place.

  • Eat when the meal is ready, speak when the time is ripe | African Proverbs | AFIAPodcast

    Greetings Village!


    #DailyAfricanProverbs takes us to #Ethiopia today.

    This proverb teaches us that we should be patient and wait for the right time to do things. We should not speak or act before the time is right. This is because if we do, we may end up saying or doing something that we regret.

    For example, if we are in a meeting and we have an important point to make, we should wait until we are called on to speak. If we speak out of turn, we may interrupt someone else or make our point less effectively.

    Similarly, if we are interested in someone romantically, we should not confess our feelings until we are sure that the other person is interested in us too. If we do, we may put ourselves in an awkward or embarrassing situation.

    This proverb is a reminder that timing is everything. If we want to be successful in life, we need to be patient and wait for the right time to act.

    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.
