Abeg where can one get a compilation of these stories especially Benin (Edo) and Yoruba stories. Only remember a handful of them and won't want to deny my kids the same joy I received when being told these stories. Too much Oyibo cartoon network no good for our pikin dem! |

My grandmother doesn't even know me and my grandfather died before I was born. Fairly tales I heard was told by my elder brother. He told me tales as we gazed at the moon, especially about the tortoise and a certain rich man. We would count the stars and name the ones we counted. I mean real names like Richard, Bimpe, Kenny, Emeka, etc. The next night, we would shout In excitement and go, "Bimpe! Bimpe!! Bimpe!!!" and wave like there was no tomorrow. But really, what were we thinking? |

Asin(Mole) and Okere(Squirel) Erin(Elephant dat was made to sit on a well) Obo(money) and Kiniun(Lion) Ijapa(Tortoise) and Sigidi(Sticky effigy) These stories are best told in Yoruba Language-save for few.I tried telling dat of the Lion and Monkey to my cousins who came from obodo oyinbo and they were just starring at me.Couldn't get them to laff. Indomie has spoilt everytin nau ...smh I dey look for book wey get compilation of these stories abeg.Gimme info if u know anyone. |
