Yoruba culture is built on oral traditions. Storytelling as one of it, satisfies the curiosities of the people where the storyteller and the audience interact. The use of repetition makes the story easy to understand and recall from memory. Some of the stories are shared as moonlight tales called ‘aalo’ in the local parlance. It is a shared event with people sitting together, listening and participating in accounts of past deeds, beliefs, taboos and myths. Poetry and proverbs are other oral renditions, they have always been how we pass down knowledge and life lessons about ancestors, gods, settlement and everyday people — aren’t just entertainment. They teach values, explain our worldview, and help each generation understand who they are and learn important aspects of their culture.
