2. About Storytelling
Storytelling is a technique for capturing and conveying one's emotions,
attitudes, and reactions to one's life events and surroundings (Gbadegesin,
1984). Ngugi wa Thiong'o (1982), Asante (1987), Kouyate (1989), Alidou (2002),
and Chinyowa (2004) identified storytelling function as mediating and
transmitting knowledge and information across generations, conveying
information to younger generations about culture, worldviews, morals and
expectations, norms and values.

4. African Concept of Ubuntu
"I am what I am because of you," Ubuntu says. The
entire theme is around humans or humanity
(Mandela 1994, Carson 1998). These stories explain
scientific events, teach morality, give African
people a feeling of self-identity, and are both
amusing and educational. Because they feature an
animal trickster with human habits, beliefs, and
weaknesses, animal trickster stories are the most
popular among folktales. Moral ideals are instilled
in the people of the tribe or community through
these stories (Ngugi wa Thiong'o 1982, Mandela
2002).

5. Characteristics of African Storytelling
In most traditional African civilizations, African Storytelling is done both formally and
informally as an interactive oral performance. Basic instruction in a particular culture's oral
arts and talents is a vital aspect of children's traditional indigenous education on their route to
initiation into full humanness (Achebe 1958, Ngugi wa Thiong'o 1965, Sheppard 2009). After
years of communal-traditional training, most accomplished storytellers in many of these
African cultures are respected community members who have mastered many complex verbal
use of proverbs and parables, musical, and memory skills (Achebe 1958, Mungoshi 1975,
Chavunduka 1988, Chinyowa 2000, Vambe 2001).
