There is nothing in this world like an “african proverb” because it is non existent. Being a Nigerian and coming from a country with over two hundred different dialects and languages, anyone who says “Nigerian proverb" in front of a Nigerian will never be taken seriously. How do you tell an Igbo man that? Or someone from Yorubaland or even an Iteskiri man. It is one of the laziest and quite sadly a very common thing to do. This is why when i write an Igbo proverb, i mean an Igbo proverb and when i write a Yoruba proverb, i mean a Yoruba proverb because colonization did create a Nigeria but to clump our cultures together and call it one is highly disrespectful.
