Tell Your Story

<span class="html-content"> <p>Growing up, I was lucky enough to have my grandma close by. She told me fascinating stories about tradition, archeological discoveries and science.&nbsp;</p><p>Stories I wish were documented, because they were original, undiluted and truly African.&nbsp;</p><p>On tradition, she told me about how certain masquerades were not to be seen by women , in fact, lights were completely turned off during the procession at night.&nbsp;</p><p>On archeological discoveries, she revealed how some art works were discovered in my village which had some Hebrew inscriptions on them.&nbsp;</p><p>However, this had some correlation with the same discovery at a place called Aguleri in Anambra state.&nbsp;</p><p>On science, she talked extensively how ice blocks fell from the sky when it rains.&nbsp;</p><p>On some occasions, fishes trapped during transpiration fell back with the ice. Yes, Fishes... It didn't make sense to me then till I read&nbsp; about it on one of the Awake publications.</p> <p>Do you think we are getting enough stories from our aged parents and grandparents ?&nbsp;</p><p>What are those stories you were told that you think should have been documented ?</p> <p>Let's have your say.</p> </span>
