Some African sayings

[Related to the drumming and the Dance and the storytelling and the oral history. Oral communication was the only news network in ancient West Africa, in the Malinka Empire. It seems that oldest of news networks spoke more truth than our present corporate mass media. --outrider]

· When the drumbeat changes, the Dance changes (Nigeria, Hausa)

· He who rides the horse of greed at a gallop will pull it up at the door of shame (West Africa, Fulani)
