The problem is with attitudes. A lot of Nigerians don't care for their own language. Even big languages such as Yoruba and Igbo can go extinct if parents don't start teaching their kids the language. They think English is cool and gives you a "higher status". So much foolishness.

Nevertheless, this is a good move. There's also a small online dictionary: http://coral.lili.uni-bielefeld.de/Courses/Summer04/Lexicography/IbibioDictionary/ibibio_dictionary01.pdf
