Akbee:
some of the local names u have given aint correct...its evident that u only paid attention to the ibibio version while neglecting the efik versions.
for instance
Squirrel...shuda bn oyiot/ayiod
sheep--erong/erung etc

U wouldn't say it's nt correct she just focused on d ones she knows which is ibibio u cn just simply tell us d Efik part
