WHY ANAGO JAMES AKEEM OSHO ADDED FOLK STORIES TO HIS BOOK, LEKE LEKE

Anago Osho, The adventurous Story Teller Anago James Akeem Osho's love for folk Stories began from Childhood. He was fascinated by the creative Stories he heard his paternal grand mother (Mamoo Wuraola Osho) and His father tells him as a Child. The Stories depict picturesque memories of how wonderful Africa was.  He added Folk Stories to his book because Africans don't tell Stories to their children anymore. Folk Stories are for both Adult and Children. African Folk Stories are to teach lessons and morals. Folk Stories bring families together and it helps the parents to know the mental capacities of their children. Long time ago in the Americas, some former Slaves, both Male and female who had gained their freedom became known as Apalo. Some became visiting Story tellers. They were going from one Plantation to another and telling African Moonlight Stories to both African and European children. Apalo's were found in Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago e.t.c. 

The Reason why Anago James Akeem Osho titled his book ''Leke Leke''

LEKE LEKE Is a Yoruba word for Cattle Egret Anago's book is divided into four parts: Folk Stories, Poems, Maxims and Adventure pictures. Anago James Akeem Osho titled his book Leke Leke because of a folk story in the book by that title which teaches that there is a difference between wisdom and understanding. It is possible for a wise man to be poor but a wise person that has understanding can never be poor.  Understanding is the instrument that is applied to make wealth out of wisdom or one's potential.   LEKE LEKE Is a Yoruba word for Cattle Egret. The bird, Leke Leke (Cow Egret) is popular in West Africa.

MUSEUMS AND MONUMENTS SHOULD NOT BE SCRIPTED By Anago James Akeem Osho

Historical monuments, Museums, and Eco-Sites administrators must consider the importance of Tour Guides or Curators in the promotion and development of such Heritage. To employ a Tour Guide or Curator, the basic criteria that should be considered includes; Passion, experience, and the Guides ability to make personal research. Although, information concerning such establishment may be available, yet it is ideal and very important to task and give the Guide a free hand to make personal discoveries. It will produce knowledge and understanding, commitment, dedication, and passion for the work. The museum or monument should not be scripted because it'll turn the Tour Guide into a puppet that is remote controlled. A scripted monument or museum will deprive the interaction that should be between the Tourist/ Visitor and the Guide.
