Tales From Nigeria-Ibibio: Some Legends and Myths

By Emma Umana Clasberry

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.
