Overview

JẸ́JẸ́ is the fourth book in the series of African Proverbs By The Yoruba (Abeni's Collection). There are 160 proverbs in the book. In each of the 160 proverbs presented, the first word in the proverb statement either starts with the tenth letter, H, the eleventh letter, J, or the twelfth letter, K of the Yoruba alphabet. Each proverb is translated to English language to extend understanding of the proverbs to a larger audience and to help the Yoruba folks who do not speak their native tongue particularly in the diaspora to reconnect with the language of their soul. More books are coming in the series until a book that compiles proverbs under the last letter of the Yoruba alphabet, 'Y' is released. The title, JẸ́JẸ́, is derived from a simple instructive Yoruba proverb (Jeje l'aye gba) that reminds creation of the importance of being calm and collected. JẸ́JẸ́ is presented in simple sentences so that all and sundry can comprehend the content. The book is an asset that everyone willing to further understand the Yoruba language and the Yoruba people must possess.
