  • Summary

  • Stories are a big part of the African culture and growing up in the city of Port-Harcourt, these stories shaped my childhood. Times are different now and these bedtime stories which were passed down through generations are not as popular with children as they once were. This podcast aims to bring these stories to the new generation of African children and introduce everyone else to these wonderful stories from the motherland. The lessons and values learnt from these will never be forgotten. Welcome to Stories Mother Told.

Despite his royal parents' efforts to protect him, the prince embarks on a journey of freedom and adventure, only to find himself face-to-face with the very threats foretold. Will he escape the fate woven for him by the goddesses of destiny, or will he fall to one of these sinister creatures?
