I have been documenting various folktales and proverbs from all over Africa for the past few years. I beleive that within these oral traditions lie many a key to understanding various aspects of African Philosophy. Our people before us were very practical and thus traditional philosophies were emulated from generation to generation through these mediums. If you like I would be happy to pass on a few examples........


Cool. Plz make a thread about it.



I wanted to know if the Dagara elders could tell the diffrence between fiction and reality. The elders did not understand what a starship is, they did not understand what the fussy uniforms had to do with anything but they recognized in Spock a Kontomble of the seventh planet... they had never seen a Kontomble that big.
