20 Fascinating Proverbs from Chinua Achebe’s Works

One of the most fascinating things about reading Prof. Chinua Achebe’s novels as a non-Igbo youngster was the way he peppered the book with proverbs – the palm oil with which words are eaten, according to him.

See just 20 of the many proverbs his books presented to the world here.

October- 31 Days of Bodaciousness!

It’s just 5 days into the new month, and my plate is doubly full already! Between work, mothering, “wifing”, ministering and trying to finish writing my book, I’m still looking forward to the day when I can tweet, or update my status/PM with the phrase, “I’m bored”. I doubt it will ever happen though!

This month i joined the LA Family (Learn & Apply). It’s a virtual bible study group, and #LA130 commenced on the 1st. #LA130 is a bible reading plan; we’re reading through the entire New Testament in 130 days. Please, please, do join us! To learn more please follow @TheLAfamily on Twitter, or click here to get information plus the reading plan. You will enjoy it!!

In other news, I’m still reading Anna Karenina (it’s a long book) and I just started the Book of the Month with my Blackberry book club (The Unnamed Book Club), Chika Unigwe’s On Black Sisters Street. Both are different kinds of compelling!

What are you reading?

 

PS

Yep, still watching Kung Fu Panda every evening. Bodacious and Awesome! :p
