How you can apply your traditional wisdom in your writings: Use them as chefs use spices!

 

A person asking, “Where did I get it wrong?” can rephrase, “Where did I get it right, and then things suddenly start declining?” This is why, in my culture, we have a proverb that says, “Onye na amaghi ebe mmiri bidoro mawa ya agaghi ama ka o ga esi egbochi ya.” This Igbo proverb is translated to mean in English: you have to deal with problems from the source or the starting point. In my books, African proverbs or traditional wisdom bring imagination to life, activating it subtly or indirectly. – Okechukwu Okugo
