SYNOPSIS to VOLUME 3

VINTAGE YORUBA PROVERBS (Òwe Ilẹ̀ Yorúbá) VOLUME 3 is the third part of our compilation of vintage wise sayings from the Yoruba Tribe of West Africa, published for the enjoyment and enlightenment of Africans in the Diaspora to learn, to experience or relive the ancient wisdom and magic replete in their aboriginal culture as they are contemplated.

Like the counterpart volumes available on top book stores, the proverbs are presented in the mother tongue of Yoruba, with the necessary circumflexes (amin) added to enhance their musicality and understanding for speakers of Yoruba language. It is also supplemented with its English translation and short explanatory note to aid understanding for global readers interested in sharing from the goldmine of wisdom distilled from one of the oldest tribes on the green planet.
