fratermathy:


This is why I said you need to learn ooooo!

Urhobos left Igodomigodo during the time of the Ogisos, the sky rulers, before Ekalederhan exiled himself and Oranmiyan came and named Igodomigodo Ubinu which later became Benin. This preceded the reign of Oba Ewuare the Great who formed the Benin empire and conquered surrounding towns and cities going as far west as Lagos!


Urhobos were primarily in Udo before they migrated due to tussles and rifts. However, Urhobos were never under the Benin empire whatsoever. We had no representatives from the Oba and we sent none. However, we revered and feared his power and eminence. We respected his throne but WE WERE NEVER UNDER HIM!

Number 111. Epie is found in Bayelsa nt Rivers. thats the language i speak. The list is not complete. In Bayelsa we have 5 major languages, and some of them are nt in the list Gud job sha

Yorubas are in Edo (Akoko) and Delta (Olukumi) states. Update the list

prolog2:
Akoko-Edo are Edo, not yoruba and Lukumi are also Edo.
you and your yoruba should stop laying claims to peoples heads !
You guys are limited to a few south-western states and brazil and illorin.
By the way, Edo is a people, not a land.
Edo-state is just a part of the land of the Edos, Edo-state and Delta-state are considered the core of Edo land, but almost all southern nigeria was part of the Benin empire. And almost as much was part of Benin Kingdom and administered from Benin City by Omo n'Oba n'Edo.

hello I'm from Akwa ibom State. I worked in ministry of culture and tourism under Victor Ntai.
I left to Benin last year for studies.
Pls bro I need few information from you.
Though I know that uruan people are efiks but does uruan share boundaries with Odukpani and if yes which part of uruan village can I access so I can get into cross River cos I thought it's only Itu bride and Oron sea that one can access cross River.

saintkeppy:
.

Yeah, uruan is the Cradle of the Efiks, no Uruan High Chief from that clan where Efik migrated from, no coronation of Obong of Calabar,
He must be at Efe Asabo to witness the Coronation of the new king. It's an ancient tradition that has been in practice till date.

Note, Calabar as a City has three ethnic groups,
Namely, Abakpa, Efut &Efik, which Efik is the minority but mighty, influential&the power to oppress, Lol from its name, edi fik owo
And each group has a Traditional Ruler but it's only Obong of Calabar FG recognizes, you can smell jealousy from the other two.
The remaining 5 Efik Clans in 5LGAs are in AKS territory which they usually pays Obong homage called "Utomo Obong" in his palace every December. It was the current Obong that brought the idea, to unite Efik brothers in the other divide.

Now back to ur question, yes Uruan shares boundry with Odukpani infact it's one of the longest boundry besides Okobo, Oron &Mbo LGAs with CRS, yes, you can access Odukpani via:

Ifiayong Usuk, Ibom Le Meridian 5star Hotel host community, there's a River there where u can access Ikoneto &other villages in Odukpani on a continuous sail to Tinapa&Marina Resort in Calabar, Cross River State.

Note, There's a special Chartered Boat Cruise Services for this route between Marina Resort&Ibom Le Meridian for anybody that wants to explore to&fro which you pay for a fee.

Then Gov.Donald Duke used this route to arrive Uyo in a matter of minutes to attend the commissioning of the 5star Hotel&Golf Resort via special Ferry Boat instead to travel by Road, this trip cut down his Travelling time&unneecessary stress.

God bless you so much bro. You've sum it all. I'm now so enlightened.

I came across this at Wikipedia and also at a site where it started that Uruan and Ibiono shares boundary with Odukpani and my friend doubted.

I also saw where Akpabio approved the River at Le Meridian to be accessed to Tinapa and Marina resort.
Thanks.
Do you know how much the ferry will cost from le meridean to Odukpani or to Tinapa?
Oron route fare seems costly, last time I went there it's like I paid 1,500.
This is the first time of hearing about the Efuts, initially I was born in bred in calabar south and I schooled at calabar but never heard of them. Which language do they speak and which axis of calabar do they base?

I believe you know what an Island is, a place that can only be accessible via boat since it's surrounded by waters, lekki and Victoria Island at Lagos, bonny Island in rivers state are all examples of Island. Now is there any of such Island in Akwa ibom state or Cross River?
Lastly I'll be coming back to Uyo on November and will spend the Yuletide season till I go back on January, I hope we see so we can even tour this places together cos obio Efik dey sweet during Xmas oh though na money you go spend sha.

. Cross River State is also an example. There's a village in the state that women speaks different from men. Over 5 languages spoken in 1 LGA. Lol very funny. In calabar, an Efik or Efut man finds it difficult to understand Abakpa(Qua) language, who are the landlords of calabar Municipal council. These three tribes are the occupants of the Greater Calabar. Infact the state is a mini Nigeria.

saintkeppy:
. Wow! U knw a lot about ma pdople? U even knw Efut lol they are 1 of the cameroon immigrants just like the Qua Nation of the Ejagham stock. we have the larger Efut ethnic group in that country. ...Which of the town do u reside currently?
