Gbe! Gbè! Gbe!

A Yoruba proverb teaches us that we gather not to be foolish, but to be wise. It reminds us that problems are not meant to be faced alone, but are conquerable through our collective endeavor. This proverb encourages us to walk together, to share our burdens, and to avoid the path of solitary regret. It underscores the benefits of communal effort, reminding us that it is better to go with the group than to go alone and have reasons to lament.

This Yoruba proverb serves as a reminder of the importance of active participation in communal efforts.

When you hear the call, 'Haul it! Haul it! Haul it!' if you choose not to join in, the potential consequences of your inaction may be regrettable.
