      Coffee and love taste best when hot; the word when in the proverb introduces an element of time. The proverb can be said like this, Coffee and love are much more enjoyable at the time they are hot.

      I think the proverb seeks to say that you get to enjoy something better when it is done at the right time. OR. You get to enjoy something when it is done in its season.

        Perhaps this proverb means that the strong man easily has his way with the weak man. He can get the weak man to do something for him with or without the weak man’s approval. I stand to be corrected.

          These things are cultural and historic artifacts that should be kept in art and cultural museums. I would like to have a collection of these African wooden combs.

          Where can I get a lot of them?

            This is advice to those who pronounce their mothers witches and maltreat them. Even a calf is sympathetic enough to defend his mom; how much more should we humans do the same?

              A car cannot move with a flat tire, so it gets stuck and it remains where it is. So is a bad attitude. A bad attitude makes you get stuck in life – you do not progress. At the workplace, your boss and fellow workers get pissed off by your bad attitude, hence no good commendations nor promotions.

              In the church, your pastor gets fed up with you and other church members are repelled by your bad attitude. Hence you are not considered for any honorable position or role.

              In the community, your bad attitude would earn you bad names and a bad public image. It is hard, almost impossible, for a person with a bad attitude to assume a high position in the community; perhaps, unless he bribes his way through. In a corrupt world like this, it is possible for people with a bad attitude to attain a high public office or political office through bribery and corruption. This is one of the reasons why Africa’s political system and governance are so poor.

                Age and height do not always correspond. Aside from the situation of dwarfism, it is too common to find short people in our communities who are several years old.

                In my opinion, a man is a mature male who knows and performs his responsibility. That is, he works hard to fend for himself, takes care of the family, pays bills, fees, … Most importantly, he does not depend on others for survival. A boy would depend on others – parents – for survival. This is the difference.

                  Black Americans have been very instrumental in the formation and development of what is now the United States of America. I was a child when I first heard of Buffalo Soldier in a song by Bob Marley. I thought the term Buffalo Soldier was a Rastafarian jargon. Now I know it was a real thing.

                    The story ended well for Ethiopia. About six years after the Italians invaded and seized control of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie mustered an army of Ethiopian exiles in Sudan, headed to war with the Italian enemies, and rescued his country from their hands. What a victory!

                      Modernism has changed Africa so much, had it not been that, the way we live our lives today in present Africa would have been much the same as how our forefathers, the Ancient Egyptians, and the Nubians or Kushites lived their lives. Even today, there is a lot of cultural and physical resemblance between the present-day black Africans and the ancient Egyptians.
