520 |a Conflicts are natural phenomena which are found in any dynamic society. The African continent is enmeshed in series of social crises and violent conflicts such as inter-ethnic clashes, ethno-religious conflicts, political unrest, insurgency and terrorism, and so on. The paper highlights the role and use of proverbial expressions as a method of indigenous knowledge in the resolution of social conflicts among Africans. Proverbs are integral part of communication and language uttered skillfully by conflict mediators to reconcile warring parties. Drawing on African proverbs that touch on conflict resolution strategies, the paper analyses the linguistic and persuasive effects of proverbs in resolving and managing peace, resolving conflict and ensuring psychological wellbeing of the actors in conflict. This is achieved through a content analysis of randomly selected proverbs across African continent. The paper argues that proverbs are useful in indigenous arbitration, conflict resolution, and in making people to live peacefully with one another. The paper concludes that proverbs are indeed vital inrelationship management and possess socializing and enduring values for peaceful co-existence. It avers that anybody with a good understanding of proverbs and their implications for peaceful coexistence would appreciate conflicts as an intricate part of existence and harmonious living.
