mmsen:I'm Annang and there are no differences between we ibibio and efik, same culture, same names and same languages, the only difference is that we're separated by large bodies of water. Efik is a language, while Ibibio and Annang are dialects under the efik language 2 Likes 1 Share |

DateMynd44:If You're TRULY Annang, write what U just wrote here to me & reply to my post in Pure Annang. Judging by you writing that Ibibio & Annang are dialects under Efik. I Bet you don't even know which is which @DateMynd44 You never answered my question Not surprised here u claim to be Annang, but you just said you were Ibibio from Etoi So whose is faking it now and U probably aren't even from Akwa Ibom. Also seems the only sentence you can write is "ediye odu me mmong?? which is actually Odu ke mmong and it is Efik not Ibibio or Annang |

DateMynd44: You should Not Be explaining to people online what you yourself don't know. Seems you didn't grow up in the Akwa-Cross states, so Here are the Major differences in Cultures between Efik, Annang & Ibibio
EXAMPLE OF DIFFERENCES IN DANCE CULTURE ezeagu That is Annang, if it was filmed abroad, then there might be Ibibio youths joining in the Dance but the dance is traditionaly Annang dance called Utah.This is Efik dance Ekombi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rynsh2CaqAk&feature=related Better view of Ibibio dance here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQdZUsrdGw0&t=120s READ DETAILS HERE: https://www.nairaland.com/609355/whats-major-differance-between-igbo Also having lived in Abak & Calabar for a while I can tell you the differences in language. Words could be similar like English: I cannot, Annang: Nkarake, Ibibio: Nkanna, Efik :Nkemeke. Words can also be totaly different like English:feces, Annang:Afid, Ibibio:Uduang, Efik:IfVO. Example of sentences- English:-1) My house is were we all are/We're all in my house. 2) This is my house Annang:-1) Ilung Ida ke afide ajid itie. 2)Ilung ida ade ami Ibibio: 1) Ufok mmi ke afit nyin iba. 2) Ufok mmi ado mi Efik:-1) Ebiet Idung mmi ke kpukpru nyin idu. 2) Ebiet idung mmi edi emi. Most Ibibios & Efiks Do Not Understand Annang except the have lived in the Annang region, so how can the be dialects of each other Also Annang has 3-4Major dialect that an Ibibio or Efik won't understand 2words. Ibibio also has several dialects like Itumbonuzo, Eket etc.. Efik doesn't have any dialect as far as i know. So again how can Annang & Ibibio including their typical dialects be dialects of Efik? ibibiogrl: 2 Likes 1 Share

ibibiogrl: You really need to do a well detailed research findings on this cause you are absolutely wrong and the Efik speaking people in Itu would consider this an insult These are people that have held chairmanship, vice chairmanship and other political positions in ITU and as well are staff at the LG secretariat... Have you been to Itu, the main Itu? Take your time and visit Mary slessor General hospital ITU and the villages around? How many clans do you think are in ITU? Check the numbers of wards in IT |
Re: 5 Facts You Should Know About The Efik People by nsiba: 1:01am On Mar 08, 2020 |
ibibiogrl:. You really don't attend real and live traditional marriages, those pictures depicts nothing Attend any Uruan, Itu, ibiono traditional marriages and tell me if the maidens dress (Onyo-yon) is something strange to them, some tribes in Rivers state also use it for ceremonial functions Attend any Uruan traditional marriage and tell me the differnces with that u call Efik |

nsiba:So whwere did U think I got these pictures from, if I don't atted traditional marriages https://www.nairaland.com/478074/post-pictures-traditional-weddings/16 Some of those marriages was done in Itu, not to talk about Ibiono example; IBIONOBRIDES ;https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/ibionobride/ IITU Brides; https://www.instagram.com/p/B4HltZClNVu/ https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Gva93gF1f/ Uruan is the only Ibibio LGA who adopted many Cultures from Efik that wear Onyoyo, but most Uruan brides dress like other ibibios E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z4KnJMgv9Y That's an Uruan bride. More Uruan brides; https://www.instagram.com/p/2qiquIDnlT/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BigozullG6O/ https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/uruan/ The Only brides dressed in Onyoyo and other similar Efik traditions are the brides from Oron; https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnrosvmhequ/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BpHlAdSFxln/ Esin is an Oron name https://www.instagram.com/p/B4Dr3XYghxK/ |

nsiba: Have you stop to think that she might have married an Efik or Oron husband Or maybe her mom is from Cross River state Tell me her name and I will confirm that to you, Please I can show U 100s of Ibiono and Itu brides, am from Uyo and therefore have many cousins from Itam in Itu close to Uyo, so I know what am talking about personally. Another ITU bride;https://www.instagram.com/p/Br9gC--HM1g/ nsiba:Maybe those people speak Efik as a 2nd language like most adult who grew up when AKS was still part of Cross River state, but am sure their 1st language & tradition is Ibibio. Here are more Itu people, how are the dress like https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/1013201251/itu-nigeria/ |

Re: 5 Facts You Should Know About The Efik People by nsiba: 10:48am On Mar 08, 2020 |
ibibiogrl: Have you been to the main ITU? Yes or No Do you know Mary slessor general hospital? Yes or no If you don't know certain things is no harm but by trying to prove what you don't know you end up being insensitive to some people and their heritage She is married to an annang man |
Re: 5 Facts You Should Know About The Efik People by nsiba: 11:33am On Mar 08, 2020 |
ibibiogrl:. You need to get your facts right about who the Uruan people are they never borrowed anything from the efiks. You think calabar belongs to the efik, who then are the Quas and Efuts ? Let me put it plain to you Efiks are Uruan they only thing that made them what they are wete the Europeans they came in contact first before any other group. Some aggrieved folks of Uruan people left present Uruan and settled at the coast lines across the river Atakpor The Quas and Efuts dominates the mainland, there is no coastal towns in ITU, Calabar parts of rivers etc where the wives of the Europeans didn't put on the Victorian dress we now call the onyo-yon it is a dress you will see at d bottom of my aunties boxes and nothing new to us Your knowledge of history is good but sincerely you still need very deep and detailed one as I can see you need more information |

MEET A TRUE IBIBIO MAIDEN Enwongo C. Cleopas Happy December beloved friends. Please indulge me for roughly five minutes with a little story this Saturday morning.� This dress is a result of an interesting research I embarked upon while trying to really know what the typical Ibibio maiden outfit was, especially the kind worn during marriage ceremonies. _ I am of the Ibibio tribe and we are one of the five largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. Again, I am from a village known as Ikot Ebom Itam, Nung Ekanem in Itu Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom state of Nigeria. I had always known a bit about my culture and style influences but I was not confident of the extent of who or what influenced us. This dress was my first project point. It is commonly known in Efik as Oyoyon/Onyonyo. But in Ibibio, it is properly described as Onyo-yon. Onyo-yon is a verb word and it means ‘to crawl’ or ‘to drag’ or 'to flow'. This dress is a Victorian style dress adopted by certain tribes in the riverine area of Southern Nigeria as their ceremonial outfit. The history behind this style can be traced to the influence of the early female missionaries and colonial figures that frequented these regions during the active slave trade era, before the 19th Century. _If you are a student of Nigerian history, you will be familiar with the locations of settlement of the European colonialists before the specific entraption known as Nigeria was formed. _The Efik(s), a sister tribe in Cross River first adopted, projected and modified the Victorian gown into their ceremonies and sometimes, every day wear. It is very common to see their women use this, but many people are not aware that this outfit is also worn by certain groups of the Ibibio and the Oro tribe in places like Itu, Ibiono, Uruan, and Oron Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom. How did these people come about using this style as well? The reason is simple. The water bodies surrounding these locations made it easy for missionaries and colonialists to settle amongst them as was done in some parts of Cross River. _Interestingly, this style was later weakened and watered down when the Ibibios adopted styles worn by their neighbours in today’s Eastern Nigeria as their outfits were more comfortable, weather friendly, relatable and easier to navigate. It is pertinent to say here that a typical Ibibio woman was a trader, farmer and traveller and for ease of movement, the Onyo-yon was seen as a distraction only used during ceremonies especially marriages. They had no time for theatrics or dainty-ness. Some parts totally abandoned this style. Now, a typical Ibibio maiden outfit, pre-colonial influence, was a bare upper body and a three tiers or two tier wrapper tied around the waist with wooden accessories or nothing at all. The introduction of a small top or blouse on wrapper was a colonial and post-colonial addition. (I will be using this for my traditional ceremony) _Back to the Onyo-yon in the picture. I decided to make findings as to the specific kind of Victorian style that was common in my region and I was led to the 1850 – 1900 day and evening Victorian dress. The gowns appear similar but certain features marked different eras. How to know this is to check the kind of material used, style of neck, pleats and the hand designs. Before the very recent usage of the lace, silk, velvet and cotton were used in making this style of dress. This is where I pause to say that if I was given this as an assignment in school, I probably would not have shown this level of excitement. You might already be rolling your eye and saying, ‘wow, who send her’, the answer to your questions is, ‘na me send myself’.� And because I don’t want to drag this too long, I will cut it here. My findings could fill hundreds of pages but Facebook is not that place to keep it. _So yes, the Onyo-yon is also claimed by many other tribes including some places in Rivers state. Hopefully, I will be back to share pictures of me properly adorned in every accessory that goes with this style as an Ibibio maiden. (The word maiden makes me giggle).

nsiba:Yet she wore this for her traditional marriage https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2409288009398550&set=a.1380218695638825&type=3&theater It's good u finally mentioned her name for me to confirmed Because if she had she would've been accused of being FAKE & abuse like this actress below, thereby loosing most of her follwers Also her hubby's side wouldn't mind because Annangs don't have a specific traditional wear, infact I've attended 2traditional marriages in Abak in the late 90s. 1 wore lace buba & another even added asoke; both Husbands & wives were Annangs in those TM. Its just recently in the ast decade that most Annangs have stated tying 2wrappers like Ibibios. https://www.bellanaija.com/2013/04/nollywood-star-nse-ikpe-etim-clifford-sule-say-i-do-the-ibibio-way-photos-from-their-traditional-wedding-in-akwa-ibom/ lynn's ArmoireApril 7, 2013 at 11:15 pm Nice,but that’s efik traditional attire she has on,not ibibio and her husband is dressed like an indian! Bet y?akwa ibom peeps shud learn to appreciate their own culture and stop famzing calabar peeps.congrats gurl avidApril 8, 2013 at 6:51 am I’m shocked at Nse, Ibibio women don’t use combs on their hair, they dress like Annie Idibia did, this is totally Efik, from head to toe and even the dress Oyoyo belongs to a bride from Efik. Is she from akwa iBom or Cross River State? Peachy_moApril 8, 2013 at 11:10 am no be only shock an electrified you will get…can’t Bella have gotten the tribe wrong? or is anything wrong in emulating another culture to characterize her wedding? pschew! biko kwa siddon for back seat make well wishers talk. Thank God there aren’t using Asian culture � konnieApril 8, 2013 at 4:39 pm She is not wearing onynyo. The bodice of the onynyo is high …just under the breast. Let her be. It is her wedding and she can whatever the heck she wants…. OKAY I GUESS THIS WAS Y SHE DIDN'T enwongoApril 10, 2013 at 4:23 pm I hate to see people write this or say this. If you’re actually from aks and you know your culture well, you won’t be saying this. The uruan people, oron people and itu people who have similar culture use that combs on their hair and the ‘oyoyo’ dress. Next time do your research well. YET NONE SUPPORTED HER COMMENTS Still more Backlash on the actress miss pApril 16, 2013 at 3:03 pm please this is not ibibo cultre that is for you bellanaija her husband is wearing indian inspired outfits and she is wearing what ought to be an efik onyoghyo but with some grabby material i don’t understand her hair is done like an efik maiden so in all they just wearing outfits borrowed from different cultures not IBIBIO please ……..at least you saw tuface and annie thats ibibio culture… shantelApril 29, 2013 at 8:15 am I dressed lik this on my t.m and am okobo.yes,we speak efik.akwa ibom is not all obibio u kwn…congrats nse!" Okobo is part of Oron which confirms what I've been saying Infact Most Uruan don't adhere to the efik adopted culture anymore, except the village of Adadia and maybe 1or2 other villages. That's is why majority of Uruan brides like these ones below dress like other Ibibio brides Uruan brides; https://www.instagram.com/p/2qiquIDnlT/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BigozullG6O/ https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/uruan/ IBIONOBRIDES ;https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/ibionobride/ IITU Brides; https://www.instagram.com/p/B4HltZClNVu/ https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Gva93gF1f/ https://www.instagram.com/p/Br9gC--HM1g/ |

Re: 5 Facts You Should Know About The Efik People by DateMynd44(m): 12:45pm On Mar 21, 2020 |
Blackking98:honestly bro something needs to be done about this with the way she's spreading all these lies and feeding other people with false information. What pains me the most is other tribes being so eager to learn about our Cultural knowledge since they all see us as one but the Ibibiogrl of a devil is feeding them with false information and spreading divisions. Imagine her saying the differences are not minor but large and also that the Annang language isn't intelligible to the Ibibios. She also said the young ones in Ibibio don't understand the Efik language. The best thing is to just ignore her since social media has now become an avenue to spread lies. She relies on Wikipedia for information. |
Re: 5 Facts You Should Know About The Efik People by ibibiogrl: 2:40pm On Mar 21, 2020 |
DateMynd44:So Wikipedia is your source of information no wonder, unfortunately there's no Annang translation in Wikipedia or Google. Is that Y you can't answer my questions since 2yrs ago and write 1sentence in Annang You were claiming to be Annang in 1thread some years ago and last week U were from Etoi and Ibibio Maybe because you don't know which is which of those languages Is Y u think you can go about claiming to be a different one each year but you have been Exposed & disgraced by me Any reasonable human being can read through your posts including this one and know immediately that U are a FRAUD and not from Akwa Ibom at all. Ask Blackking98 if he can understand Annang U think if I was wrong in any my sentences in either of those 3languages. Especially Annang that the Idad AkpaB99 would have been silent and not called me out immediately DateMynd44:U are the Fakest FRAUD Annang man from Etoi in Uyo ridiculous utoto-nyakri DateMynd44: DateMynd44: |

ibibiogrl:contrary to your weird claim's that Akwa ibomites don't understand Efik or speak it , I speak Efik better than my ibibio, I understand about 60% of the standard Annang language although I can only say a sentence or two, I'm sure if I lived in Akwa Ibom I would have understood it more. The lines of difference between ibibio, Efik, Annang and Oro is getting slimmer by the day, you're all the way in USA (assuming your claim is true) dividing people up and down in your imagination. You are a disgrace to the ibibio race. |

AtaniWarrior:Sorry the dumb people that have been posting lately in this thread distracted me Ibibios are the oldest inhabitants of their location and so I don't believe the migrated from Usak Edet in Cameroon. https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/1687277 https://www.jstor.org/stable/485085?seq=1 Also I don't believe that the ancestors of Efik came from Arochukwu or Uruan groups, I believe that most of them stayed in Adadia a village in Uruan, after migrating from or through Cameroon. Because the Oron group never lived in Uruan or Arochukwu, but yet they have the same cultures and traditions as Efik. Although most Orons do regard Uruan as their relatives just because of that Efik connection. Then you have the Ejaghams who's other half are still in Cameroon, yet they still share most cultures and traditions with Efik. So how did Efik get these cultures and traditions if they were originally from Arochukwu or Uruan 1 Like |

Is there really any difference between Efik and Ibibio? It's just like someone saying he's half Igbo and half Ikwerre No difference. Efiks and ibibios are the same. Both understand each others dialect, same language, similar culture and very tiny differences. Even the neighboring igbo don't know the difference.

Efik, Ibibio and Annang are just like Spanish, Italian and French, the are from the same language family but different. An Efik, Ibibio or Annang can understand parts of each others language, but not fully escept they have lived in the others region. Annang has 3 dialects in it language, also Ibibio has dialects example Eket/Ibeno is a dialect of Ibibio. Even though Eket language can not be fully understood by an Ibibio, they have never denied being Ibibio, they regard themselves as a subgroup of Ibibio, speak Ibibio as a second language and practice the same traditions as Ibibio. Oron regard themselves as a subgroup of Efik, they dress like and practice the same traditions as Efik, although their language can only be understood by themselves; which is why they speak Efik as a second language. They 3 main groups Annang, Efik and Ibibio ARE SEPARATE not just because of different languages but because they also practice different traditions and cultures. Again I signed on to this forum to educate because people like you were causing my ancestors to be INSULTED! https://www.nairaland.com/4110925/ini-edo-rocks-ibibio-traditional
