Abstract
The article examines the place of Hausa proverbs in depicting the economic and occupational activities of the people. It argues that, the people’s proverbs are a mirror to the aforementioned activities. Just before that and for clarity, the literature of the people, proverb, and economic and occupational activities of the said people have been presented. The conclusion of the article is that, the people’s proverbs and their economic and occupational activities are inseparable since the former serves as a guiding compass/mirror in knowing the latter.
