Tales From Nigeria-Ibibio: Some Legends and Myths (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500227562)

Legends and myths are folktales, stories passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation. They increase our knowledge about some natural and super-natural phenomena that impact cultural beliefs and practices of a particular people at a particualr locality. As learning tools, they enhance our social skills and comprehension. Parents, teachers in formal and non-formal school settings, and family elders need to increase the current rate of teaching legends and myths to the same level or frequency fables are taught so that a people's cultural traditions do not get lost during their generation. Just as we received these stories from our great grand-parents, so should our children have similar or even better opportunities to receive same from us.
