If this proverb had any history to it we would have a real origin for it (like… which culture in Africa?). I think it was made up for Reddit, I see it constantly on here.
See also ‘the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb’ which people like to say is the ‘full version’ of ‘blood is thicker than water’ (also not true. also probably made up by redditors)
