It a pity that these cultures are not welcoming again and it is fading away,our cultural heritage is our pride.
But this things are not going anywhere again.
Idiomatic experience in our culture is something that we should not forget in our society,it is a continuation of our forefathers activities.
So you are right we should not do away with idioms , Proverbs these things help to tell stories and shortened the way we speaks.
These was a good way of life of the Efik and Ibibio language.
Thank you for coming out with this call.
