Why Do We Value Lies More Than Truth? | AFIAPodcast | African Proverbs

Greetings, Village!

The Proverb says: “Truth came to market but could not be sold, however, we buy lies with ready cash.”

This Yoruba proverb is a powerful reminder of the world we live in. The truth may be priceless, but unfortunately, it’s not always easy to sell. Meanwhile, lies are all around us, and it seems like we’re all too willing to buy them with our hard-earned money. But the truth is, no matter how much we pay for lies, they’ll never be worth as much as the truth. Strive to seek out the truth in every situation, even when it’s difficult or unpopular.
