The first time I heard the African American expression, “there ain’t no cure for stupid,” it made me laugh because I could immediately relate it to one Yoruba proverbial saying; won ni omo eni go, eni ko sa ma ku, kini yo pa bi ki ba se ago!? One could go on and on, and the list of absurdities will flow into many pages, and it will seem to justify the aphorism; there ain’t no cure for stupid. On a further introspection and reflection, perhaps, there is actually a cure for stupid? In this case, the aphorism applies: there ain’t no cure for stupid! Stupid is stupid!
