Please you South Southerners should stop pairing us together. We are not the same before some Bini-philic people will use it as an avenue to insult the great Igbo nation and also say that we are dragging their people.
South East is South East (Igbo nation) and South South is South South (Niger Delta).
Change your title to "The oldest church in South South"

When did Akwa Ibom State become a South East State? �
See, there was nothing like Akwa Ibom in the early 80s. It was Cross River State.
Even before Cross River state., the whole area now know as SE and SS was know as the Eastern region.
This how it worked then;
I still remember my uncles car registration plate then was SE (south east )living Calabar .
When he comes to the village then , his plate number would be different from those around in the East , which had EC ( east central) .
This was when the was little honor left in dealing with the Easterners by the Fulani led Federal government.

Oil boom started and they figure they could divide and rule. So the Fulani invented South South to cause division without having North North.

The most pathetic part is that the indigenous people accepted this label without questioning.

Akwa Ibom State and Qua Iboe church fondly got thier names from the Ibeno River (quo Iboe river) were this church is located adjacent to the Atlantic ocean.. The United Evangelical Church (Founded as Qua Iboe Church) is a Christian denomination in Nigeria. It has existed since 1887.[1] It has more than 1,000 congregations and 2,000,000 members. The church was founded by an Irish missionary, Rev.Samuel Alexander Bill the first of many missionaries who served with The Qua Iboe Mission, now known as Mission Africa, which is based in Belfast. [/b]The Mission and Church were initially named after the place where the mission began its work, at Ibeno near the Qua Iboe River in the present day Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria.[b] The church and mission have been entirely independent entities since 1984, but the two continue to work together closely.

The church has its headquarters at Ibeno in Akwa Ibom State. United Evangelical Church is a Bible believing church and does not practice doctrines that do not have any biblical background.

The oldest Church in Nigeria is Holy Aruosa Church in Benin City, Edo State. Established in the year 1517 by the Oba Esigie and the Portuguese. In fact it is the oldest Church in West Africa!

Aqua ibom means ibo water.....
Ibeno means friends are here
Now I know the reason why biafra said that akwaibom is with them

No, Akwa Ibom means, Big/great God/One.

Don't mind the op.

It's only the church that is named based on the location that it was first established - qua iboe river in Ibeno, Akwa Ibom State.

Brief history about Samuel Bill... The founder of this great mission below..

Samuel Alexander Bill (1864 in Belfast – 1942 in Nigeria) was an Irish Christian missionary and the founder of the Qua Iboe Mission (later renamed Mission Africa). Bill was raised in Ballymacarrett Presbyterian Church, east Belfast, but was most notably associated with Island Street Belfast City Mission Hall. His interest in missionary work was sparked by a visit to Belfast by Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey in 1874. He attended the Harley Missionary Training College in London, then under the leadership of Henry Grattan Guinness; and travelled to Nigeria to commence a work amongst the Ibeno people in 1887. The mission base was founded on the banks of the Qua Iboe River, and this base gave the name to the independent interdenominational mission that Bill founded.
Root to our present predicament, these are the branches the west used to evade us Africans!

The St. Stephen's Anglican Church is the First Anglican Church in West Africa, establish in 1861 and house the First Copy of the HOLY BIBLE that was brought ashore by the Colonial Missionary.

The oldest standing Colonial Church in Rivers State, St. Stephens Anglican Cathedral, on Bonny Island, is to be preserved as a Heritage Site, Governor Chibuike Amaechi has said.

The Church, which was built in 1861 by the Colonial Missionaries, who landed in Bonny Island also houses the first copy of the Holy Bible that was brought ashore by the missionaries, and handed over to the then King of Bonny as a gift.

To preserve the integrity of the site, Governor Amaechi had therefore appealed to the Anglican Communion to stop further construction work on some new structures they are erecting within the premises of the ancient Church.
Governor Amaechi, who visited King Edward Willima Dappa Pepple, at the Palace of the Amanyanbo of Bonny during his town hall meeting, told the Bonny people to preserve some of its historical sites that would remind younger generations of their early contact with the Europeans.

“Do not deface the old Church building because it reminded us of the historical relic of the past”, he said.According to him, “any part of the world where this kind of Island and heritage site exist, they preserve them for posterity, as well as exploit it to attract tourists”, and advised the people to allow historical structures like the St. Stephen’s Anglican Cathedral that was built in 1861 to remain.

He urged the Anglican Church to allow the old Church structure to stay rather than modernize it and promised state government’s assistance to enable them preserve the building as it then was.

“Do not build what you are building at St. Stephen’s Anglican Cathedral, it is a heritage site, you cannot touch it if here was overseas, because you can to jail for it, and if we are looking for anything that can be identified as Bonny in the 18th century, it is this structure, after the Bonny traditional institution”, he stated.

Governor Amaechi reminded them that Bonny was a slave centre in history times, and decried a situation where such important relics of history that would have made the area more significant than Port Harcourt have been lost to modernization, including the slave route facilities and camp, which can no longer be traced or seen in the area.

The State Chief Executive recalled the importance of Cape Coast in Ghana with a similar slave route history that attracts a large volume of visitors wanting to know the extent of slave trade activities, noting that “having been preserved, people pay lots of money to go and see for themselves”.

“The same thing would have happened in Bonny if we left our sites, but this one, I will not allow anybody to destroy it”, he assured.
The governor said the state government has the right to declare the area a Heritage Site by law and take it over, but appealed to Amanyanabo of Bonny to urge the Church authorities to see reason not to altar or deface that piece of history.

Responding, the Amanyanabo of Grand Bonny, Kind Edward Asimini William Dappa Pepple, thanked the governor for his visit to Bonny and lauded him for the development going on in different parts of the stat.
The Amanyanabo noted that the first copy of the Holy Bible that was given to his late ancestors by the Whites was still intact in the community.

with due respect some of u can't just be pleased at all..
if he/she accepts Akwa ibom is SE like the OP an Akwa ibomite posted..u will use that avenue to insult SE, saying it's attachee by force, our oyel(oil) etc...now he refuses to accept the tag that Akwa ibom is SE by ur guys, u still complain.

what do u guys actually want from the SE people..??

We reject the tag bcus we want to avoid unnecessary insult...we r learning to value who values us&accepts who accepts us.

until there is a total stop from that section of SS who thinks that arm measurement with SE is their sign of coming of age....we may likely continue to focus on ourselves now.

The Church of my birth and the dominant church alongside SDA in Ngwa areas of Abia State.

Very spiritual , organized and sound in biblical doctrines then...I represented my local church at ABA headquarters then during Bible competition and the feeling of God's presence we feel whenever we go for holy communion which was done mostly in the evening with everyone of us wearing white.... I don't know how it is now in terms of their ways of the old..now that it is United Evangelical Church of Nigerian...my History belongs here
There’s an old qua iboe church in ovom, obingwa...it’s not surprising since akwa ibomites and the ngwa people are closely intertwined.
