Igbo Stories From Abiriba

Story-time in Igbo society is a relaxing, fun-filled time for families to connect and enjoy each other’s company. At the same time, it provides the means for elders to pass along values and life lessons in an unstructured, non formal environment. The primary characters of stories may be people, animals, birds or any object the purpose of most stories is to illustrate a particular human condition or behavior, and to highlight the benefi ts and drawbacks of the character’s choices. In this way, perspectives on how to live a good and balanced life are passed onto the next generations. We are sharing this traditions with you — to better understand Igbo culture and hopefully ensure that these story-time experiences continue for time immemorial.
