It is not difficult to learn how to count numbers in Idoma language and I think we must consciously pass this on to our children and our generation at large. It will be a thing of shame to be educated yet an illiterate when it comes to the primary education of a child which according to John Lock should be the local dialect of such a child.
Idoma numbers does not have a specific symbols used in representing rather the alphabet are use in representing the numbers
Ìdↄmá. The easiest way to learn numbers in Idoma language is to learn the alphabet, vocalizations was well as recitation of the numbers.
