Some Oral Triditional writtings from people that actually live in Africa.
http://www.acdagy.com/african_story_time.htm
This one I was particularly interested in, seeing that it has been claimed that the Yoruba people are being used to fortify Metu Neter.
In the early days of the world, and of Ilé Ifé the orishas became tired of serving Olodumare. They began to resist the Lord of Heaven's edicts and to even plot the overthrow of Olodumare's kingdom in heaven and earth. They felt they didn't need Olodumare and that as the Lord of Heaven was so distant anyway, they could merely divide the aché or powers among themselves and that things would go much better that way When Olodumare caught wind of this attitude and their plots, the Lord of Heaven acted simply and decisively: Olodumare simply withheld the rain from the earth. Soon the world was encompassed by a staggering draught, the ground became parched and cracked, the plants withered and died without water. And it wasn't long before all on earth, orishas and their children alike began to starve.
These words a actual Oral Tradition of the Yoruba People.
