ELDER'S CORNER

Hello everyone, I bring to you some proverbs from the elder's corner. These are a few proverbs from the northern part of our beloved country.

Rua ba su yami banza

 Water does not get bitter without a cause. There is reason for everything

Ansan baki yana da j'an myo

It is well known that the mouth has red spittle(or that it looks red in the mouth), still white comes out. Though spittle in the mouth looks red, still when it comes out it is white. So, though you are hot with anger, let it come out cool. I know you are angry, still forgive him.

 Ba afafi giandumma ranan taffia

 The day of starting is not the time to prepare the giandumma. Giandumma, calabash with a narrow neck, which all carriers use for water on a march. Ffewa, hollowing out the pith from the inside of the giandumma. Don't leave a thing till the last minute.
 Later guys!
