This site is managed by the Office of Dr. Bukar Usman. We are dedicated to providing to all our visitors indepth information
on the various areas of Dr. Usman's public, literary, cultural, and social endeavours and linkages. We are particularly
here to publish regularly Dr. Usman's research, writing and audio-visuals in the area of Africa's oral literary arts.
As one of Africa's foremost retellers of folktales for the modern - nay universal - audience, Dr. Bukar Usman intends
to use this site to attract and retain a global audience for some of the stimulating tales his diligent research
has unearthed from his native Biu area and beyond. For those interested in contemporary issues, a section of this site is
devoted to Dr. Usman's articles on current questions of local and universal interest.
As a multiculturalist,
Dr. Usman will be interested in sharing stories and cultural data with researchers, writers and readers from around the world.
Publishers of releant web sites who will be interested in exchanging links with us are welcome. Folk story writers from around
the world, who may like their stories published on this site should feel free to forward them, as e-mail attachments, to
folktales@bukarusman.com.
Beyond these, we shall be giving you other offerings from time to time. Registered members of this
site will, in the near future, access from here, at a discount, exotic art works, traditional crafts and implements,
local fabrics and dresses, etc, and other cultural objects from the unique socio-cultural milieu in which Dr. Usman's folk
stories are rooted.
We shall also be offering FREE travel advisory services and tourist features to
all visitors who may be planning to visit some of Nigeria's - and indeed Africa's - tourist destinations.
We welcome you to much more on this multifaceted site!
