Is this forum only for african proverb or we can add our local language proverbs too?
ALthough I have read so many good proverbs and I will keep coming back to learn more about African Culture.

Yes dear. The thread (not forum) is strictly dedicated to Proverbs that are relatable to Africa and said in pidgin English. If you've any proverb that we Africans can relate to, you're free to say it but on the condition that it has to be written in pidgin too. Thank you for stopping by and reading our posts. Don't stop reading.
