Igbo Folktales tell timeless tales and stories from the southeast region of Nigeria which embraces the values, the culture, and the wisdom that have been passed down from generation to generation.
Many centuries ago, when black men lived in harmony with the wild beasts and subtle cattle in the jungles of Africa, before the great war in the animal kingdom and the invasion by the white cavemen, before the man lost the trust and love of beasts – the Leopard was the king of the Animal kingdom. He was loved by all, both humans and animals alike. He was blessed with wisdom, beauty and strength. He was the envy of the entire animal realm. The Leopard King was of a royal bloodline, as the animal kingdom practised a true and absolute monarchy. His closest allies were the Tiger (Agu) and the Lion (Odum), who were chiefs and members of a noble lineage of cats. Although Chief Odum was not particularly on the king’s good books – he was tolerated, as his great-grandfather had played a great role in the last war with the first wave of the white cavemen who crossed into their land.
