Ayelabola is a book of African Proverbs by the Yoruba. Each of the five hundred proverbs compiled in the book begins with the first letter of the Yoruba alphabet, 'A'.

Each proverb is translated to English language to extend understanding of the proverbs to a larger audience.

Ayelabola is the first in the series of African Proverbs by the Yoruba: Abeni's Collection. It will be followed by Bibiire, a collection of African Proverbs by the Yoruba under the second letter of the Yoruba alphabet, B.

The title, Ayelabola, is derived from a simple Yoruba proverb that issues an all-encompassing advice against all forms of material-desire-driven vices.

Ayelabola is presented in simple sentences and the English translations further unveil the meanings to those who are not so versed in Yoruba language. The book is an asset which everyone willing to further understand the Yoruba language and the Yoruba people must possess.
