n many African countries, a feeling for language, for Iimagery and expression of
abstract ideas throughcompressed and allusive phraseology comes out
particularly clearly in proverbs.
A proverb is a popular short saying with words of
advice or warning. The figurative quality of proverbs is
especially sticking. One of the most noticeable characteristics
is their allusive wording usually in metaphorical form. This
also emerges in many of the native words translated as
proverbs and in the general stress often laid on the significance
of speaking in symbolic terms.
Long before Africans acquired a writing culture, there
existed various forms of verbal expression whose equivalents
are the present short stories, poems and novels. For instance,
we have shorter expressions like riddles and proverbs which
serve as verbal accompaniments used by speakers to clinch a
point.
Proverbs seems to occur almost everywhere in Africa
in aperient other areas of the world. In some other area,
proverbs seem universal and in African languages occur in rich
profussion. The literary relevance of these short sayings is
clear. Proverbs are a rich source of imagery and succinct
expression on which more elaborate forms can draw.
The value of proverb to Nigerians particularly the
Igbo's does not lie only in what it reveals of the thoughts of the
past. For poet today or indeed for the speaker who is some sort
of an artist in the use of words, the proverb is a model of
compressed or forceful language.
In addition to drawing on it for its words of wisdom,
the writer takes interest in its verbal techniques, its selection of
words and its use of comparison as a method of statement.
v
Proverbs are evident in the speech of people who are
regarded as accomplished speakers or poets of a sort. Proverbs
are not only a body of short statements built up over the years
and which reflect the thought and insight of Nigerians into
problems of life, but also a technique of verbal expression which
is greatly appreciated by the Nigerian. It's no wonder that the use
of proverbs has continued to be a living tradition in Nigeria.
"Proverbs are the palm-oil in which words are eaten" (Achebe).
The book, "songs of wisdom" is a collection of poems
and comics built upon witty sayings of the past, the wisdom of
the sage and elderly as a means of advice and warning. The
beauty of this poems and comics lies in the way the author, not
only skillfully translated but also transliterated them. By
expansion, the genius of the author can be better appreciated
when we explore how he explicates these proverbs, poems and
comics to bring out their hidden meaning.
The collection covers a myriad of themes, ranging from
laudatory, political, religious, motivational, inspirational poems
to ones on love and marriage, heroism, loneliness and kindness,
ego, greed and despair. The ingenuity of the writer is evident in
the manner he disguised his tone to that of a 'Grand Pa' who has
gained full knowledge of the world.
Songs of Wisdom" is a mine or a living fountain for all
and sundry to draw from. The experience of the past to be able to
fashion out lifestyle for today and for the future. We cannot but
appreciate the author's effort in his attempt to rekindle in us, the
desire to treasure our rich language culture and societal ethos.
