'Arrow of God' by Chinua Achebe has got me hooked on Nigerian proverbs.
A man who brings home ant-infested faggots should not complain if he is visited by lizards.
How very true, but what are we to make of:
unless the penis dies young it will surely eat bearded meat, or:
a fowl does not eat into the belly of a goat?
Must remember to use that more often in conversation.
