Proverb: Afεkubɔ te sε asanom, w'anhwε wo ho so yie a, εma wosopa
Translation: Companionship is like drinking too much palm wine, if you are not careful, it leads to disgrace
Context: Too much enjoyment of company can lead to unwise actions and so to disgrace. When one takes on numerous friends, there are bound to be bad one amongst them. Hence, listening too often to what your companions say can lead to taking decisions that would lead to problems. Moderateness is key.
