| This finely rendered male Ibibio marionette is relatively naturalistic in form, with rounded muscular contours. |

|
| For example, Yoruba is spoken in six states, Igbo in four states, Annang, Efik and Ibibio in two states while Hausa is spoken across all the states in the North. |
|
| This appeared to be the first documented records where Igbo and some other languages in Southern Nigeria like Efik, Kalabari, Ibibio, etc were made. |
