If you are reading this and attending my funeral, can you remind them that I want my eulogy to only be a list of African proverbs?

100 articles, and I wanted to share with you the circle of wisdom that guided me here.

I have always been attracted by proverbs in general and African proverbs in particular.

I would love to sit with you and tell you more about it.

My love of proverbs, why and where has been described by Mulenga Kapwepwe in her TED talk:

I chose the most straightforward way: YouTube.

How many did I pick knowing that my target is 10?
