EP 105: Nigeria- The Sons of Sticks and others (M.I. Ogumefu 1929)

In story one, we learn why one tribe is called the sons of sticks. In story two, we learn why women like to grow their hair out, as it wasn’t always that way. In story three, we hear about why people say “long live the king” after hearing thunder. In story four, we learn how saving the life of a mouse, saves the life of the king. And finally in story five, we learn about Iroko trees and why Yoruba people do not use it in furniture.  Source: Yoruba Legands by Ogumefu, M. I.
