However, much experiments and visual expressions of Igbo folklore have not been explored using these modern digital media. Today, digital media in Nigeria is not farfetched. During the heydays of contemporary Nigerian artists, art scholars like Uche Okeke, Chike Aniakor, and Obiora Udechukwu, to mention a few, used visual metaphors to portray some of the Igbo folklore, particularly in the form of Uli lines. Thus this led to various publications on the Igbo folktales. With that, a lot of oral literature were researched on and written down. Time came when scholars from Nigeria and Igbo Society in particular came to academic recognition of the latent potentials in folktales. From past times oral literature had been the norm for the transmission of folktales.
