Stories are... | Nigerian storytelling for listeners everywhere
Stories are...universal. Stories are...what connects us as humans. Stories are...identities. Stories are...how cultures are formed and preserved. Stories are...a many splendoured (and sometimes sordid) thing. Stories are what I’d like to share with you every week. Stories written and narrated (mostly) by Nigerians.
