Kiigbo Kiigba - a stubborn man
Kiigbo Kiigba is a Yoruba phrase meaning, "one who neither listens nor obey". That's the name of the main character in this popular Yoruba tale. In some versions of this story, he is simply known as Kiigbo. It is a tale that illustrates the importance of obedience.
Here I post all things relating to allfolktales.com - a growing collection of West African folktales as recalled by myself (from growing up in Nigeria) and other willing contributors. This blog tracks the process and progress of allfolktales.com.
