I don't know how best to begin
this thread but I guess I'll just
begin it anyway.
But hey! before I start, some
people especially in the western
region tend to mistake Akwa Ibom
for Calabar, Ibibio for efik.(see
why history /geography is vital? ). Funny enough, they refer to every part of cross-river and Akwa-ibom state as "Calabar" lmao...
Now Akwa ibom is a state carved
out of Cross River state (Capital-
calabar) with Uyo as It's capital
and Ibibio as her major language.
Understood? Let's get down to the
biz of the night.
Below are some Ibibio names and
their meanings. I call them the 21st century names lol

for "Abasi" it'll still mean the same
thing -God)
