They seek to bring out a range of thoughtful advice, understanding, truth, morals and warning in both serious and humorous fashion. They evoke meanings out of daily experiences, show community unity and link to biblical spirituality.\u003cbr\u003eThe beauty of this collection is the generous latitude towards many possible meanings as no attempt is made to suggest one. Unless otherwise indicated, all the proverbs here are credited to the Ishans, a small minority tribe in Edo, Nigeria. Still, most are known in other tribes and their messages are true of people everywhere.\u003cbr\u003eThis book will gain audience among families and readers who seek to find the wisdom of words. So discover why\" The room of a small child is not enough for a masquerade to dress up.\" And why \"A man needs to hold his organ in his hand in gesture when making advances to a woman who is deaf and dumb.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e A.
