Proverbs, parables, and wise sayings are meaningful short sayings or vehicles through which morals are transmitted to adults, youths, and children. They are life experiences that Africans utilized to understand their past and present lives. These means of expressions are vital to the African culture as they transmit wisdom, truth, morals, and lessons that convey traditional views passed down from generation to generation. Africans and mostly older Africans communicate to adults, adolescences, and children by means of proverbs, parables, and wise sayingstransmitting messages, imparting warnings, solving problems, influencing behaviors, helping to avoid unwanted outcomes, and shaping or molding, especially the children as they journey through life. Proverbs, parables, and wise sayings are the instinctive or spontaneous methods of learning anytime and anywhere through conversations in an African community. As the conversations linger, they are revitalized by these short sayings. These modes keep the African children active and interested in the world around them, as well as their own development. These short sayings, in simple terms, are the daughters of daily-life experiences. They are not explained after they have been expressed; instead, adults, youths, and children used them to improve their communication and listening skills, develop creative imaginative and thinking skills, understand the meaning of life, and be familiar with the element of each proverb that was transmitted. Proverbs, parables, and wise sayings are the oral literature of the Creoles or Krios of Sierra Leone. Each proverb is understood when expressed in ordinary conversation. The role and importance of proverbs, parables, and wise sayings in conversations of each ethnic group of Sierra Leone provide a colorful, vibrant, and poetic picture of the African culture and its characteristics.

The ex-slave, Krio population of Freetown, Sierra Leone - an amalgam of ethnicities drawn from several parts of the African continent - is a fascinating study in hybridity, creolization, European cultural penetration, the retention of African cultural values, and the interface between New World returnees and autochthonous populations of West Africa. Although its Nigerian connections are often acknowledged, insufficient attention has been paid to the indigenous Sierra Leonean roots of this community. This anthology addresses this problem, while celebrating the complexities of Krio identity and Krio interaction with other ethnic groups and nationalities in the British colonial experience.

In 1787, a group of British philanthropists bought land from a chief in what later became Sierra Leone for the repatriation of freed slaves living in Europe and the New World. When the land was bought, 411 ex-slaves referred to as the Black Poor left England and sailed to Sierra Leone forming the first batch of freed slaves. In 1792 about 1200 ex slaves referred to as the Nova Scotians, repatriated from the maritime colonies of Canada to the new settlement, formed the second batch of freed settlers. In 1800, 500 freed slaves from Jamaica known as the Maroons were also taken to the new settlement in Sierra Leone, forming the third batch of settlers. The last batch of freed slaves who occupied the settlement was the Recaptives, also known as the Liberated Africans who numbered about 40,000. These were slaves intercepted by the British anti-slavery patrol between 1808 and 1864. In 1807, the philanthropists who were in charge of the management of the settlement asked the British government to take full responsibility of the settlement for economic reasons. In 1808 the British Government assumed responsibility of the settlement and henceforth became a British colony. Among the various communities occupying Freetown, a particular group commonly referred to as "Creoles" emerged claiming to possess a unique and distinct identity. Their history as written by various scholars including J. A. B. Horton, T. C. Luke, Christopher Fyfe, John Peterson, Leo Spitzer and Arthur Porter has been presented as a given. Porter and Luke in particular insinuate that being Creole was a way of life and that the Creoles evolved naturally without bumps and setbacks. This study negates the above view. That is to say, the view that Creoleness was a way of life with a fixed identity separate from other communities in Sierra Leone is an imagination of intellectuals and culture brokers.
