ABSTRACT

Globally, there has been an increasing emphasis on culture and cultural heritage of a people.There are scanty records of different cultural values, indigenous knowledge and heritage material especially on Africa unlike the developed countries of the world which have the highest contribution of their culture available electronically.How can Africa ensure that its heritage resources are adequately protected for today and tomorrow’s societies? Story telling is one of the intrinsic components of many African cultures. Folktales are told not only for fun and amusement, but also to educate and teach values and morals in the society. This paper presents a mobile application that is developed on the android operating system that tells stories which are based on animal characters. The application provides the option for voice illustration that is rich in image content which is done in YorùbáLanguage and translated in English Language.
