ELDERS AND WISE SAYINGS


   The words of an elder are words of wisdom. Yes, I've got a thing or two that I would like to share with you my dear readers. These are words from our own elders, Igboland to be precise.
You go around a pepper plant to pluck its fruits, it can't be climbed. It is mostly directed to matured minds meaning: You go around an issue to find a solution. You don't jump into conclusions
An elder will not be in the house and a goat tied to a peg gives birth. It is a general statement meaning- An elder will not be around and play deaf-ears to a problem. Or an elder will not be around to see injustice and abnormalities without taking action.
