COLLECTION OF FOLKLORE AND HEBREW TALES




People of Israel were captives in Roman Empire long time ago. We were told in history that things were really hard for the Jew those days. A lot of the people were highly gifted in Hebrew. They had outstanding talents and potentials but the means were not there for them to bring their dreams to limelight.


History revealed that the Hebrew were good in writing and story-telling. They had many poets and writers of great insight. A lot of their stories and folklore were written in Hebrew Language but the people did not have publishers because Israel, their home land, was captivated in Roman Empire just like we have Biafra being captivated in Nigeria these days. If we check well, we will see a great similarity between Jewish people of old and Biafrans of these days.

Truly, the Jew experienced hardship due to the captivity. They needed publishers in Rome to bring their stories to limelight. King James was among the Roman Publishers those days. A lot of Jewish scrolls were submitted to him. That was how the Bible was written and published. A collection of Hebrew stories, tales and folklore - Bible!

I know that one may wonder why I am saying all these publicly. It is known to the people that  Biafrans have writers of great insight.

Some great writers of Biafrains have been pen down by Nigerian publishers, the editors will be given them their useless excuses like...

The editor asked me to bear with them because they had a lot in their hands. "We shall get back to you soon," she said to me. I left her office and something told me that King James said the same thing to those Jewish writers who submitted their scrolls and manuscripts duly to him those day. "Please, bear with us! We shall get back to you soon," said King James to the Jew in old time.
