Great post!
My contribution (a yoruba proverb): Eyinkule lota wa
Translation: Your enemy/adversary is in your backyard
Interpretation: It's those who are close to you who can hurt you the most. Hence you should ensure that you are careful who you let get close to you and also ensure that your close relationships are in order.
That's science right there, Mayowa.

"Survival tactics means bursting gats to prove you hard, your firearms are too short to box with God, without faith all of that is illusionary, raise my son no vindication of manhood necessary"...Talib Kweli & Mos Def - Thieves in the night, Black Star Album
