Most fairy tales told by my grand dad were mostly about the tortoise, how smart he was. Grandpa pls tell me a story............. Grand dad: Story story...... Me: Story tell lies Grand dad: Once upon a time, there lived a tortoise in the animal kingdom.........................................blabla bla bla................... "And that was how the tortoise got his back cracked" Me: Grandpa u can lie oooooooo Edited: there was this famous story he used to tell me about how dangerous it is to keep late night. He always believed that a man should be at home by 6pm max, that anything ur looking for beyond that time isn't worth it, leave it for the next day. Twas a story of how he got chased by an OJUJU abi na masquerade self, he went to check his babe then with his friend, and they were coming back at dawn after sunset, den they monster accosted them, he was the smaller one and his friend had long legs, they took to their heels and they met a big ditch in front of them, his friend crossed it on one attemtp, while he was panting and scared his legs won't be long enough, but on his first attempt he crossed and that was how they escaped and ditched that monster . According to him it was God that helped him cross that ditch so he can learn a lesson that staying out late was bad, and also to be able to be alive to tell his grand children about the dangers of keeping late night. Little did he knew that his grand son (Me) will turn out to be Nocturnal . His generation is diff from ours. His story didn't stopped me from staying out beyond 6pm sha 18 Likes |

Wasn't close with my grandparents. Paternal grandparents died before I turned 3, my maternal grandma had a stroke when I was born so she couldn't talk and grandpa was mostly in church. Got no stories from em. Got a lotta tortoise stories from my parents though, but mostly songs. There was this one in Igbo: Ochicha n'oke no n'ime motor Oke bu driver Ochicha bulu passenger ne se cigar (sneeze) Translation: A cockroach and a rat were in a car The rat was the driver The cockroach picked a passenger smoking cigarette. (Sneeze) Dunno if anyone else is familiar with the song 8 Likes |

Fairy stories are formulated based on the expectant behavior of children. While majority of them are meant to entertain. Stubborn children are always told scary stories to scare them with resultant of good reward should the person cHange to good. 2 Likes |

Hian. I was an English speaking child, and my grandparents were Igbo speaking folks. Neither of us could understand the other Unless ofcourse you consider 'bia' and 'kedu' fairytales Ok. I remember one Christmas when we visited the village. I was sitting at the backyard with my grandma and she kept talking and talking and talking; me i was in siddon look mode. Then my aunt came out and asked her what she was doing and she said, "I'm just talking to Uju". The woman laughed eh, "How can you be talking to someone who doesn't know what you're saying" Anyway I learnt Igbo by force, but the woman was dead before I could have an actual conversation with her. God rest her soul 3 Likes 2 Shares |

I really don't know if i'd classify this as a fairytale or not. My granny always tells me not to go out once its close to 7pm as ghosts and even witches and wizards walk around the earth. I always laugh hearing this anyway,some stories i hear sometimes aint plausible. 2 Likes |

hmmm,my mum told me there was a particular man back then in the village.. he takes delight having his bath in the river late at night ignoring several warnings about d dangers involved. then one night the man ran n.aked into the village breathing heavily and when he finally mustered a word, he said as he was about having his bath, d river turned into a giant demonic structure and beckoned on him to move closer.. he didn't and ran into d village, he later ran mad after sometime. 1 Like |
