Description

The title of the book, "Mmanu E ji Eri Okwu," which literarily means, 'oil with which words are eaten' tells of the pride of place proverbs occupy in the African worldview. Proverbs unveil as well as conceal knowledge, which only the initiated comprehend. However, the author's generosity in juxtaposing these with English translation and meaning embraces the globe to the sweet relish of the text. Moreover, Ositadimma Amakeze's "Ogazi Amaka," and the likes of this book are indeed set to promote and preserve Igbo language and culture. Grab a copy and enjoy you did!
