African cultures, particularly the Kom oral tradition, culture and customs constitute the main backbone on which African oral literature is developed and built. African oral tradition/culture is rich in performance. The most important thing about oral literature/tradition is that it does not only provide entertainment but it brings out important moral lessons through its performances. For this genre of literature to survive the pressure that has been imposed upon it by the current global age and then, progress to see the next generation, there has been massive and aggressive efforts made by different researchers and experts in African oral tradition to collect, transcribe, translate, analyze and document this genre before it completely disappears from the world scene.
