[edit] Ex pat comment
Always learning in Wikpedia. I never knew a good Annang speaker spoke with proverbs. What I did know, was that using Annang proverbs and stories made sure my translator could not twist my meaning as a young Peace Corps helping villages. My hobby was to collect stories, which was easy to do as Udoh Ukot. "What do you do when you see a man hanging by one rope from a palm tree?" or my favorite which is from Itu Mbuazo, probably not proper Annang, "what is a one footed animal?" or in other words, "why are there still old people around?" I can think of two times in Annang proper, that proverb/story helped unify a village.
A little embrassed, just posted a map of an area that probably includes Annangs from the 1950's British perspective. I scanned it at work and left the book there, so it can not be cited properly. I also included Ikat and I am sure that somebody who knows more than me will take exception. Please do and comment. I did not include INI in my red outline, which was part of Ikot Ekpene Division, Annang Province just prior to Biafra. --Rcollman 02:45, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikifying
I have tried to wikify the article and fix the references (adding ISBN's where I could find them). I would change the references to footnotes if I knew the right place to add them. Since I did not (except for one footnote) I made them into references. My problem is that I do not know the subject matter. Please ask me if I can be of more help. For example, if someone knows where the footnotes should go, I can add them in the right place. Sincerely, –Mattisse (Talk) 01:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
