Drumbeats :The Proverbs of Africa book by Obii Okwelume

Obii Okwelume’s Drumbeats has given the present generation a collection of powerful words, which should. in every aspect, provide guidance and direction for the kind of leadership we greatly desire.

Going through Drumbeats, what readily comes to mind is the cultural values en-kindled in folk-philosophies and sayings which are fast disappearing in Africa’s modern civilisation. A well-told proverb always relieves a tense moment in discussions or arguments. And, because a proverb is the oil that can unfold difficult spoken expressions in an African setting, this collection is everyone’s companion.
