The originality of this work lies in the fact that it is the first known attempt to treat the issue of national development from the perspective of proverbs (culture) rather than economics and politics as has been the case so far...

There is promise here, and scholarship is awaiting its fruits. Professor Emeritus Kashim Ibrahim TALA University of Buea, Cameroon. If orature is coterminous with the human condition, their destinies belong together. Scholars of orature should salute the arrival of this book that we recommend as a companion of both scholars of the sciences and humanities who have the development of their societies at heart.
