There is no great or small culture: Because every culture creates

 

There is no great or small culture.

 

The maxims, proverbs, adages, and colorful statements of the ancestors were meant to teach lessons, and this is part of the ingenuity of the ancients via cultural and traditional interactions. In Igbo culture, for example, there are unwritten etiquettes about hospitality, thriftiness, general courtesy, meticulousness, etc. The way these were formulated and incorporated into people’s culture and handed down from one generation to another from the first century and till date is the 8th wonder of the world. This is why every people’s culture and tradition should be respected. No great and small culture exists – Okechukwu Okugo, author and publisher.

Creativity Can Also Entail Employing Traditional Wisdom





A folktale of the ram as the symbol of wisdom and discernment:

Once upon a time, a mother ruminant had three children: the ram, the he-goat, and the sheep. Observing how dangerous navigating and surviving the jungle has become, she first decided to test their IQ to know if they were developing the requisite wisdom and survival instincts of their ever-difficult terrain. She then summoned all her offspring and tested them out, asking:
“How many times will something befall you for you to learn a lesson from that particular event?”
The goat said he could only learn after encountering the same situation a hundred times. And the sheep said he would pass through the same problem fifty times before he could ever learn from the experience. And when it reached the turn of the ram, he retorted to his mama proudly, “I will not allow any situation I saw people passing through before me come to me. I will endeavor to learn from what others are facing that I observe around me.”
The mother ruminant nodded in satisfaction, knowing that at least one of her offspring had shown the necessary natural wisdom for survival. She didn't dwell on the misguided answers from her other two children but was content that at least one of her offspring had proven they could adapt to changing times.
In Igbo folklore, experience is not the best teacher. Learning from other people's difficulties is the preferred method. Are you developing the necessary skills to solve unique, recurring, or potential problems you may be facing? In our folktale, the ram is the wise animal known as “Nwaebule ako,” meaning the “wise ram.”

How you can apply your traditional wisdom in your writings: Use them as chefs use spices!

 

A person asking, “Where did I get it wrong?” can rephrase, “Where did I get it right, and then things suddenly start declining?” This is why, in my culture, we have a proverb that says, “Onye na amaghi ebe mmiri bidoro mawa ya agaghi ama ka o ga esi egbochi ya.” This Igbo proverb is translated to mean in English: you have to deal with problems from the source or the starting point. In my books, African proverbs or traditional wisdom bring imagination to life, activating it subtly or indirectly. – Okechukwu Okugo

Short story: A folktale of how the tortoise got the patches on its shell

 


Short story:

A folktale of how the tortoise got the patches on its shell

Once upon a land called Iduu na Oba, time land animals scheduled a meeting with animals that fly, and the tortoise was appointed as a chief to represent all the land animals at the conference on Ososo Hills. The tortoise had no wings and had to rely on the goodwill of the flying animals to get to the mountaintop. When they arrived, the lord of the high plain, a mountain goat that convened the meeting to adjudicate the melee between the land and flying animals, welcomed them.
But at the bottom of the hill, before they got to the top, the tortoise, knowing the usual modus operandi of the goat and its signature entertainment of large hosts, assumed a new name among the animals. He declared that he should now be called "Unu dum," a local jargon that means "For y'all."
Now, they gathered in a circle, and the wine came. The tortoise in a loud voice enquired while the goat went to the kitchen to bring the food and asked the host, "Who are these wines for?"
The goat answered, "For y'all."
Tortoise turned to the flying animals and told them that the host gave it to only him because he knew his new name. That was what the tortoise did when the food, a sweet breadfruit meal, came. He ate and drank all by himself and never considered others.
The meeting ended, and it was time to go. The disgruntled flying animals had a payback plan for the tortoise for his greed, selfishness, lack of consideration, and mistreatment. Now, his dependence on the animals to get down the hill was more imperative.
They carried the tortoise far higher than expected, making the fall more remarkable. While the tortoise was enjoying the flying voyage and euphoria of seeing farther than he had ever seen, right above the mountain and a little beneath the cloud, at the peak, they threw the tortoise down, and his crash was significant.
But the benevolent land animal snail gathered the pieces and glued the tortoiseshell with its slime. The tortoise survived, but broken marks and glued parts are still on the shell today.
The story's moral is: Do not take advantage of people, especially those who help you accomplish things. Do not be greedy. Be considerate. Do not be a schemer or overly clever to show you are cannier than others. People are watching, and it may not augur well with you when they withdraw that exceptional help they lend you.
