Ancient Egyptian art and depictions often portrayed individuals with different skin tones. It is important to note that these artistic representations often reflect the actual physical appearance of individuals. These representations ranged from light to dark shades, suggesting a diversity of skin colors within the population. The same situation we have here in modern times that Africans or the black race come in different shades. Some are light, while others are very dark – it was the same in Egypt.
Additionally, historical accounts and references from various sources describe ancient Egyptians as having a range of physical features. Some descriptions mention reddish-brown complexions while others refer to darker or black skin tones. These variations in descriptions further emphasize the diversity that existed among the ancient Egyptian population much like what we have in modern Africa.
in reply to: What skin color were ancient EgyptiansParticipantThe question of whether ancient Egyptians were black is a topic that has sparked much debate and discussion. While it is important to approach this topic with sensitivity and respect for historical accuracy, it is worth exploring the evidence and perspectives surrounding this question.
Ancient Egypt was a civilization that thrived for thousands of years along the Nile River. During this time, the population of Egypt was diverse, with various ethnic groups inhabiting the region. The ancient Egyptians themselves depicted their own physical appearance in art and hieroglyphics, which can provide some insights into their racial characteristics.
It is widely accepted by historians and scholars that ancient Egyptians had a range of skin tones, from light to dark, which by today’s standards would be considered black. Plainly, they were not Arabs or Caucasians. Ancient Egypt as it is, before the invasion of foreigners, was racially black and African.
However, it is important to note that race as we understand it today did not have the same significance in ancient times. The concept of race as a social construct developed much later in history. Ancient Egyptians identified themselves primarily by their nationality or social status rather than by racial categorization.
in reply to: Were ancient Egyptians black?in reply to: How do we say ‘welcome’ in your language?ParticipantBeing blessed – when you say ‘I’m blessed’ or ‘You are blessed’, it is a statement to acknowledge the fact that God has favored me or favored you respectively. This is said usually in relation to success, health, family, wealth, or a job.
It’s certainly true that the good things we receive on earth, such as comforts, joy, good outcomes, success, and the friendships we enjoy, are all unmerited blessings from God. These undeserved blessings, which God pours out on all of us through his grace, should be received with thanksgiving and praise, leading us to find joy as we glorify God through them.
Though many people enjoy these good things in this world, not all of them acknowledge that it was God who granted them the good life and good fortune. People who do say ‘I’m blessed’ acknowledge the fact that God has given them what they have. Being blessed by God is commonly understood as receiving good things from God.
To some being blessed by God is like receiving something good, a desired result, or exceptional comfort. Being blessed is receiving a special favor, mercy, or benefit from God.
People regarded themselves as blessed because they got the desired outcome from a decision they made, they got a job promotion, they are prosperous in business, their families are well-to-do, they live happily with little or no trouble, they get what they want in life, etc.
Today, being blessed is understood as being wealthy or being well-to-do or having a well-paid job, or being a successful businessman – this belief is widely held to the extent that a believer who is not financially sound cannot muster the courage to call himself blessed.
Being blessed encompasses being a father, being a mother, enjoying good health, and enjoying a peaceful life, irrespective of your financial position in life.
in reply to: What is the meaning of being blessed by God?ParticipantThough the African jungle has many smart animals, I would like to talk about these:
Chimpanzees
Chimpanzees are native to sub-Saharan Africa. Research has firmly established that chimps are one of the most intelligent species on Earth. They are able to make tools of available items to use to get what they need. Chimps know and are able to use sign language. It has been discovered that adult chimpanzees do teach their young sign language which they use to communicate amongst themselves.
Chimps exhibit certain character traits such as curiosity, violence, cooperation, and resourcefulness. They have a sense of justice and express emotions such as sorrow, joy, grief, disagreement, discontentment, etc. They are also social animals, living in large communities.
Chimps are some of the best tool users among the animals in the jungle. in the animal kingdom. They do crack nuts with big stones and lure termites out of their mound with thin sticks to eat them.
Bonobos
Bonobos are normally found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They are covered in black thick hair all over, except their faces. Bonobos and chimps look alike. Some of the striking differences are that bonobos are much more friendly, non-violent, and have a reputation for being peace-loving. They are able to solve conflicts without violence.
They are the only apes who live in a matriarchal society. Bonobos are very smart animals. In some cases, they even prove to be more intelligent than chimps.
Elephant
Elephants are the largest land animal and also have the largest brain among all lives on land. They have a complex social structure, show grief, and do show altruism, and do participate in funeral rites for their deceased relatives. Elephants also use tools such as branches to scratch themselves and drive away flies. They are also known to medicate themselves by eating medicinal leaves and the bark of trees. They have long memories, able to keep things in mind for a long time. They are found in many countries in Africa such as Ghana, Kenya, etc.
The African Grey Parrot
As the name suggests, they are native to the rainforests of central Africa. Through many research works conducted on these parrots, scientists equate their reasoning ability to that of a child from the ages of three to five years. These parrots are able to learn and mimic human language. Moreover, the African grey parrot is able to recognize and identify shapes and colors.
ParticipantEthiopian Wolf
The Ethiopian wolf is the only wolf species in Africa and also happens to be the most endangered among the carnivores. It is native to only Ethiopia as its name suggests. It looks like a dog but has a face that resembles a fox and or a jackal. Human encroachment on the habitat of these animals is largely responsible for rendering them endangered.
Black and white Rhinos
Sometimes all that it takes is for people to discover something useful about an animal. That is all that it takes to render the animal in question endangered. Black rhinos and white rhinos are iconic animals in Africa. The white rhinos are bigger than the black rhinos. The black rhinos have hooked lips, whereas the white rhinos have square lips. Their existence is under severe threat because poachers hunt them for their horns which are believed to be medicinal and they are sold to Asia for medicinal purposes. Conservation efforts are underway to preserve them from becoming extinct. They are mostly found in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Kenya.
African Elephant
Today, the number of elephants has declined to less than 30,000 in the wild. Poachers over the years have set their eyes on elephants to hunt them for many economic reasons. The ivory trade puts a lot of value on elephant ivory tucks, hence poachers make a ton of money killing elephants to collect their tusks for sale. Elephant oil is medicinal and it is a constituent of ointments for treating body aches. The greater part of the elephant population has been wiped out, leaving a few individuals in the wide. In recent times, population growth, urbanization, urban expansion, and drought have had an adverse effect on the population of elephants. Conservation efforts are in place to grow their numbers once more. Elephants are found in many African sub-regions and in countries such as Kenya, South Africa, etc.
ParticipantEvery exotic pet is unpredictable in one way or another and that makes them dangerous. Exotic animals are dangerous to the persons who own them, to their neighbors, and to the entire community. Over the years, many cases have been reported where exotic animals held in captivity attacked humans and other animals in the house and in the community. Monkeys are known to bite and cause serious injuries to their owners, neighbors, and strangers. Both male and female monkeys tend to become aggressive and bite to either defend themselves or establish dominance.
When keeping big cats such as lions, tigers, leopards, etc. you never know when they may bite you or attack you. They do pounce on people unexpectedly, with or without any provocation, and severely injure them or kill them.
Even if exotic animals are detained in cages, there have been many cases of them escaping and prowling the community. Many large cats do escape from their cages or confinements and terrorize communities. Several of these incidents have resulted in death or serious injury to the persons who came in contact with the animal or the death of the animal. Many children and adults have been mauled by tigers and bitten by monkeys and snakes who were on the loose.
Exotic animals pose serious health risks to human beings. Besides physical injuries from bites and scratches, exotic animals carry diseases. Many exotic animals carry zoonotic diseases, such as Monkey Pox, Herpes B, and Salmonellosis. Zoonotic diseases are diseases that generally live in animals, but can be transferred to humans.
Exotic animals such as monkeys tend to have the most potential of transmitting different diseases to humans. They are known to carry Herpes B, Monkey Pox, and Ebola. Reptiles have the possibility of spreading salmonellosis to humans. This happens when humans handle these animals and fail to wash their hands afterward. Salmonellosis can lead to severe diarrhea, headache, malaise, nausea, fever, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and even death.
in reply to: Why is it bad to keep exotic animals as pets?ParticipantIt is easier to perceive that lions are the deadliest animals in Africa since they are carnivores and are feared by all. The list of the three most deadly animals in Africa will shock you. They are:
Mosquito
Mosquitos are the smallest of the deadliest animals in Africa. According to WHO, they are responsible for 725,000 deaths per year, as of 2023. Mosquitos transmit a lot of diseases such as malaria, Dengue Fever, and Yellow Fever. Malaria is spread by the female Anopheles mosquito, which is most active at dawn and dusk. The greatest threat a mosquito presents is malaria, which is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. It is reported that Malaria alone accounts for 600,000 death per year, as of 2032. The good news is that mosquito bites can be prevented by using spray or repellents, wearing light-colored clothing, and sleeping under a treated mosquito net.
Hippopotamus
Hippos are large semi-aquatic mammals, with large round-shaped bodies. They have short legs, short tails, and big heads. They are considered the third largest land animal on Earth, after elephants and rhinos.
Hippos are considered the most dangerous terrestrial animals in Africa. Hippos live in and around freshwater bodies in Africa. Male hippos are fiercely territorial and aggressively protect their territory from intruders. Hippos can run at speeds of over 19 miles per hour on land and a male hippo’s canine teeth can exceed 20 inches and have massive jaws with a bite force of 12 600 kPa.
Female hippos can become extremely aggressive if they sense any threat coming toward their young. Though hippos have long large canine teeth, strong jaws, great bite force, and aggression, they are not carnivores. Hippos are deadly animals, despite being vegetarian. They are responsible for about 3000 death per year.
African Elephant
African elephants are the largest land animals on earth and can weigh up to 15,000 pounds. They can be unpredictable sometimes and it is best to steer clear of them, especially, elephant mothers and their young ones. Elephants that feel threatened by humans will not hesitate to attack. And they kill either by trampling or crushing. Elephants tend to be much more aggressive in areas where poaching occurs. Poaching is the illegal hunting or catching of game or fish. Poachers kill about 100 elephants every day. And Elephants kill around 500 people each year.
in reply to: What animal kills the most humans in Africa?ParticipantThese are some of the African animals known to prey often on snakes, both venomous and non-venomous:
Crocodile: Crocodiles are found in African rivers. They have numerous sharp teeth for biting and tearing prey and have strong jaws for holding on to prey and killing them. Their body is covered in armor-like skin making them impermeable to snake bites. Crocodiles are unforgiving of snakes when they cross their path. Crocodiles may swallow snakes whole, or crunch them with their long sharp teeth.
Mongoose: Mongooses are small carnivores that prey on a wide range of prey such as birds, insects, small mammals, snakes – both venomous and non-venomous – and other reptiles. They are well-known snake hunters wherever they are found.
Secretary bird: The secretary bird has long legs and speed. Their long legs give them an advantage over snakes, whether venomous or non-venomous. They stomp snakes to their death and swallow them whole. They are normally found prowling on the open grass for snakes and other small reptiles. They also have the nickname killer queens.
Brown Snake Eagle: The brown snake eagle is common in many African regions. Eagles as they are, they have sharp beaks and talons for killing prey of all kinds including snakes, both venomous and non-venomous. Aside from their beaks and talons, they have good eyesight and can spot snakes far away and attack them. Since these birds have the speed, boldness, sharp beaks, and talons to do the kill, the snakes which are attacked by them have very little chance of getting away.
Honey Badger: the Honey Badgers are carnivorous mammals a little bigger than a house cat. They are cousins to the wolverine which is found in North America, Europe, and Asia. However, honey badgers are found in Africa – on the African planes – and Southwest Asia.
They are vicious hunters who make do with any prey that gets in their way. On many occasions, they are found fighting with snakes, venomous and non-venomous, big and small. Normally, a honey badger-snake fight goes in favor of the honey badger and they kill and eat the snake. It is believed that they have some amount of immunity to snake venom.
in reply to: What wild animals eat snakes in Africa?ParticipantIt is possible for certain species of plant and animals to die off and or go extinct due to the challenges they face from others of their own kind or from some adverse natural conditions. However, since the human population began to soar, there has been an increased dependence on the environment for food and other resources to solve problems in human society.
This has left no small effect on the world of plants and animals. For many centuries now, the major threat wildlife receives is from human activities.
Human activities such as logging – the cutting of trees for commercial purposes, commercial farming – which results in clearing huge vegetation, construction projects, and bush burning destroy large tracts of vegetation reducing the size of the forest where the plants and animals live. When it happens like that, animals find themselves in areas too small to support their population. They begin to compete over what little food sources are left, at the end of which many will not survive due to starvation.
The illegal trade of animal resources. The tusk of an elephant is highly-priced ivory, the horns of rhinos are sought after as medicine to cure cancer, the skin of big cats and crocodiles is an important source of leather, and, in general, certain animal parts are highly-priced and valued worldwide. Also because of the fact that Africa is facing many challenges of abject poverty, unemployment, and so on, people resort to hunting wildlife to collect their parts such as tusks, bones, hide, skin, etc. to trade illegally.
Regular hunting of wildlife is a major threat too. Communities and villages located at the coast turn to the sea for fish. Those that are located in the hinterlands turn to the forest for their source of animal protein. The increase in human population and expansion of settlements has brought high demand for animal protein; hence hunting is carried out at a rate faster than the natural recovery of the population of the hunted species. This often leads to some species becoming endangered and extinct.
ParticipantThe palm tree is a tall standing tree. The palm tree is a cash crop of much importance. Its crown, where most of its goodies are found, is high up off the ground. Its branches are used for making brooms, its nuts are used for preparing palm nut soup, and for making palm oil, palm kernel oil, and several other products. That is why many risk climbing the palm tree to its top.
To get to the top of the palm tree where you can harvest the palm nuts and the branches, there is no other option order than you climbing the palm tree. In climbing the palm tree you start right from the ground and little by little you climb to the top using all your limbs, all hands and feet.
Actually, climbing a palm tree is no easy task for the palm tree has a relatively big rough trunk that impedes climbing. It takes even a skilled climber the application of wisdom to climb a palm tree lest he will get hurt.
The top or the crown of a palm tree can be likened to prosperity. In the quest to become wealthy, rich, or prosperous, hard work is the only approved means to get there. Those other means that promise shortcuts to prosperity also promise shortcuts to abject poverty, indebtedness, disease, and premature and sudden death.
In certain parts of the world, blood money is so prevalent. The practice is all about kidnapping innocent people, both adult and young, killing them, and taking their blood or certain parts of their bodies for money rituals. This practice once it becomes prevalent in the community or region strikes fear and panic into the hearts of the people. The end thereof is very pathetic for the perpetrators.
Others see politics as a shortcut to prosperity. To this end, many Africans, both young and old, cease to be innovative and hardworking. Rather, they rally hard behind political parties with the hope that once they come into power, they will have their way to prosperity. The high level of corruption in government is, for the most part, connected to this notion of getting rich quickly and easily through politics.
Many girls nowadays are doing Only Fans, stripping on webcam, posting nudes, and creating all manner of profane content for subscribers in order to make money. All these are shortcuts to make money and the end thereof is not nice.
Drug trafficking, child trafficking, etc are all shortcut opportunities to become rich quickly without hard work.
in reply to: There are no shortcuts to the top of the palm tree.ParticipantThis proverb means that a single or small thing does not make a significant impact and that it takes many more of it together to make a significant impact.
We see an example of this in the fight for independence. In the quest for independence, only one person’s cry for independence will get him nowhere. He would easily be ignored and his cry be made null and void. Oftentimes, such a person can be easily silenced through arrest and incarceration, or execution.
Now what if the voices are more than one – say 1000, 10000, 1000000, etc? They become a significant force that cannot be ignored or silenced and they will prevail.
This proverb is very applicable to all spheres; the home, workplace, community, organization, and nation. The single voice is counted as naught, but the many voices can bring about significant social and political changes. For example, many voices can prevail in fighting for a better standard of living, the resignation of incompetent leadership, independence, freedom, justice, better health policies, better pension policies, etc. in a country.
If only one or a few voices fight for these aforementioned socio-political or socio-economic changes, they would end in failure. It takes many many people to make significant changes happen.
in reply to: A single bracelet does not jingle.ParticipantAn error means a mistake. A mistake is an act that is wrong or a judgment that is misguided or wrong. There is a saying that ‘to err is human …..’, which means human beings are bound to make mistakes.
Humans make mistakes every day. This is due to a lot of reasons. Lo and behold, these errors can be corrected.
in reply to: All errors are amendable.ParticipantWater is a powerful substance and, indeed, where water is the boss the land obeys. The look and features of coastal areas are enough to give you this feel; wherever water reigns, the land is cut and shaped in a manner dictated by the water and the land loses control of itself completely.
Aside from coastal areas, even on the mainland, rivers and other water bodies influence the land profoundly. As they head down towards the sea, they cut deep into the land to create long-stretched valleys – their effect on the land cannot be overlooked. In all these, the land, by itself, can do nothing to undo what water had done.
In the same way, everyone is entitled to his territory. You cannot or should not go to someone’s jurisdiction and boss over him. All those who did that started conflicts. In times past, during the colonial era, the European countries who came to Africa, Asia, and the Americas had many conflicts with the locals because the locals would not just allow these European foreigners to boss over them on their own land.
People are so power drunk, proud, and arrogant to the extent that they think they can boss over everyone everywhere.
in reply to: Where water is the boss the land must obeyParticipantThe root is part of the tree just as our legs are part of our body. Though every part of the tree is important, some parts are more important than others. What would a tree do without its roots?
The root of the tree is the part in the soil. First of all, the tree stands on its roots; remove the roots and the tree will stand no more but fall to the ground; just as human beings stand on our two legs. To wit, the roots are legs for the tree.
The roots perform beyond the functions of legs, they actually hold the ground to give the tree a firm stand such that in the event of a flood, storm, etc. the tree is not immediately and easily removed from the ground and carried away.
Most importantly, the roots are the mouth and the stomach of the tree. They absorb nutrients from the soil and process them upwards to the other parts of the tree.
So now you can tell how important the roots are to the tree. How would the tree stand or survive without it? Because of the roots, the tree always has hope when it is cut down. So far as the tree is not completely destroyed by means of uprooting, but it is only cut, its roots still buried in the soil, there is hope that it would grow back to the tree it was.
Simple and short the tree can not stand without its roots because it heavily depends on them. As a nation or as a people what is our root? Our roots could be anything that makes us stand and grow and establish us in the midst of difficulty.
In my suggestion, the roots of the people could be high productivity, innovation, good leadership, unity, good virtues, our history, etc.
in reply to: A tree cannot stand without roots.ParticipantThe proverb means that if you wait time, you ruin your opportunity. Time is an abstract thing, you cannot really kill it as with a gun, arrow, knife, or whatever. Killing time can be attributed to waiting your time or managing your time poorly.
Opportunities are time bound; they do not remain or exist forever. As a pupil, if you do not manage your time properly by hurrying up in the morning, you may miss the morning school bus – boarding the school bus is an opportunity.
As a career woman or man, if you do not manage your time properly by waiting time on things that are not worthy of your time, many things will go wrong in your life; that is, you are left with little time, which you would either allot to your job or career to the neglect of your family. Or you would have to expend that time on your family, neglecting your career.
Time is the most expensive resource to have ever existed. Once you lose it you can never gain it back: it is neither sold nor bought. You can get back your gold, diamond, etc. if you lose it. But it is not so with time.
Ancient wisdom has discovered that opportunity walks with time. Whoever masters the proper management of his time would snatch many opportunities in life.
I have observed in the course of time that some students do not manage their time well in that they do not study at the time they should be studying. Eventually, they fail their exams and ruin their opportunity to continue their education. Now to get themselves back on track, they would have to do remedial, resit, or rewrite several exams.
Let’s respect time and manage it well.
in reply to: If you kill time you’ll bury opportunitiesParticipantLove is a very powerful emotion. People driven by love turn out to be self-motivated and committed to what they do. One of the things adults – teachers and parents – complain about children is that they do not like reading or learning.
Teachers and parents often do everything possible and go through a lot of stress trying to make a child intelligent. These efforts often overwork the child and meet the disapproval of the child. Perhaps, in a bid to build an intelligent child, it is high time we guided the child to love books and knowledge.
If we get children to love books, whether we are around or not, they will study with passion and become the intelligent children we want them to be.
The question is, how do we get children to love book? The regular parent is more engrossed in making money to cater for their children – as in feeding and clothing them – but gives very little attention to kindling their interest in books and education.
I for I loved reading right from childhood because at everything turn I could see books. We had a shelf full of books – books for all ages. To kindle your child’s love for knowledge, books, education, start early – the earlier the better. Get him those big colorful books congenial to kids.
ParticipantA proverb is a short traditional saying that people often quote, which gives advice or tells you something about life or expresses some obvious truth.
The wise are rich in proverbs; they build their proverbs and wise saying from observing a phenomenon for a long time and apply their wisdom to it. Proverbs mark out certain truths that would take years for us to see and learn.
This proverb “The wise create proverbs for fools to learn, not to repeat” does not mean that all who learn from proverbs are fools; in fact, the wise still learn from the wise, either through proverbs, songs, or other wise sayings.
This proverb seems to stress on the facts that it is of necessity for the fool, since he has little or no wisdom, to learn from the proverbs of the wise – very important. By so doing he too will become wise and become useful to the society.
Proverbs are not meant only to be memorized and recited repeatedly. They are meant to guide, teach, or lead one in the right path and or to teach one not to repeat a mistake.
ParticipantChildbearing is very important, especially for married couples. However, not every couple gets to bear children. This proverb is in agreement with and was, probably, derived from the Holy book, the Bible, where it is written: ‘Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. (Psalm 127:3 NLT)’
God gives children to whoever he chooses. The proverb and the Bible quotation above put a lot of importance on children. If children are a gift and a reward of life from God then individuals, couples, and families to who God has given this reward should regard good parent and childraising as a solemn responsibility.
I am lost for words to explain how and why good parenting is necessary. The little I can say is that with wisdom, love, and godliness, nurture your child or ward well so that he will not become a problem but a resource, not a curse but a blessing, not a dependant but dependable, not immoral but godly, not a trouble maker but a problem solver and peacemaker, etc.
in reply to: Children are the reward of life.ParticipantWhen a rooster crows, only those in the vicinity will hear it; obviously, those far away do not hear its crow. Since the rooster’s crow is not heard by everyone, his influence is not felt by everyone – or not everyone wakes up to the sound of his crow.
This proverb is almost the same as brightened the corner where you are. Actually, your influence may not be felt all over the world. But you can influence your immediate surroundings, your home, your family, your community, your workplace, your classroom, your country, etc.
Supposing you have started a cleanliness campaign. You may not be able to, at a go, get the whole world to subscribe to your campaign. However, you can get your family and your community to subscribe to your campaign and that alone is a success story.
ParticipantPeople do associate with you, befriend you and stick around you for many reasons. Some do that because they have something in common with them, some do that because they like your personality, some do that for personal gains, etc.
So of all the people who are around you and call you friend, brother, sister, mother, uncle, etc. who really loves you? Sometimes, it would be too late to learn who your loved ones really are because the truth about what feel about you would be revealed while you are dead.Those who really love you will continue to speak well of you, miss you and threat your family with kindness even while you are dead.
But those who do not love you will rejoice at your death, ill-treat your family, usurp your property, completely rub you off their memories, etc. while your are dead.
ParticipantProbably, this proverb could have been rendered like this,”Prepare now to solve tomorrow’s problems.”
Make sure whatever you are learning now will put you in the position to solve the problems you will encounter tomorrow.
We have already seen or experienced the past. Now, we are experiencing the present. And the future is yet to come.
Preparing to solve tomorrow’s problems will require that we draw lessons from our past and present life experiences and that we learn new relevant things.
This prepares us or set us on the platform to make good decision, design better strategies, etc., as a solution when we begin to face tomorrow’s problems.
in reply to: Prepare now for the solutions of tomorrow.ParticipantIn an attempt to get to a certain destination, you may get lost. Getting lost is missing the way to your destination.
And you only get lost when you do not know the way or you do not really know the way as you thought.
Getting lost leaves you with no other option than to learn the way to your destination well. And once you have learned the way well, you will never miss it again.
The proverb means that getting lost is not bad in itself because getting lost reminds, leads, and impresses on you the more to learn the way for yourself.
When you are always guided by others, how do you find the way when they are not there for you anymore. Hence the need to attempt finding the way yourself.
in reply to: To get lost is to learn the way.ParticipantThis proverb means that though people have different characters, they can live together.
We are different people with different preferences and different characters. However, these individual differences should not be a platform for conflict, misunderstanding, disunity, etc.
We can profit from individual differences. How? We should tolerate one another, giving everyone the opportunity to express their uniqueness.
Individual differences and preferences can contribute well to development.
ParticipantThis is what the proverb means:
When two people have an issue, or fight, or quarrel, etc., and they are to appear before the elders, the teachers, the chief, or the court to resolve the issue, the one present tells his part of the story as though he was right and innocent, pinning all the blame on the one who was absent and making him the offender and the guilty one.
This is what the proverb wants to say to all of us.
in reply to: Those who are absent are always wrong.
