Kanga Sayings

What is the meaning of the saying on my fabric from East Africa?
A popular type of fabric worn by women in East Africa is the kanga, which often has a pithy saying along the bottom edge. These sayings may have deeper meanings than might be obvious from direct translations. If you cannot find your saying on the page of Kanga Writings maintained by Hassan Ali, please post a polite query to the Swahili discussion forum.
