LISTEN TO THAT | Yibo Koko | TEDxPortHarcourt

Quoting Ted Dekker in AD30, “The distance between a human being and a book is a story”.
Yibo Koko in a colourful and cultural presentation sought to know what we as Africans are doing with our stories and why we are so allergic to our essence.
To him, it is important to know, own and love our culture. It's not the devil's. Only then can it be transformed into an appreciable art form.
