During the reign of a one king, your are tied with your arms in the back, and during the reign of another king, you are tied with your arms in the front.

A new ruler, a new rule. (Benin)

Pito ou solda nan paradi, pase ou chèf nan lanfè.

Better to be soldier in paradise than chief in hell. (Haiti)
