ifyalways: ^can I be your teacher? Let's go there. . . Ify you know Ibibio? wow, nice. Off course, you can be my teacher. When I was a teeny baby, my grandmother used to speak Efik around me and I understood some but now I have forgotten everything. In fact, everyone in my family except for me can speak Efik. I must learn this language  lol.Ngwa, Ify let us begin. I will take notes on everything. *copies mbong, nomi efere* |

ifyalways: ^can I be your teacher? Let's go there. . . Correction: "Mbong" should be Mbok (Please). That is Efik. Good effort, Ify. |

@Jmaine and Ndipe Thank you very much. Sosong eti eti. I was wondering because I saw an Ekpe cloth that had the pictogram for prison as 'mkporo' and I was wondering if other Ekpe-practicing people also called it 'mkporo'. Either way, 'Ufok mkpakok' and 'mkpokobi' seem pretty close to 'mkporo'. |

Ndipe: You are right but that is in Anang/Ibibio. In Efik, prison is "ufok mkpakobi". E song idem o. |

odumchi: @Jmaine and Ndipe Got to know the meaning of Mkporo from my maternal granny . . .It depicts or given to those women who shower praises or encomium on deities,kings and individuals . . .As in going local now = Iban Atang Ase . . .but the prison representation might have being crucial at a point in their history . .which i don't know |
| Re: If You Are From Cross River Or Akwa Ibom, This Topic Is For You. Sosongo. by Ndipe(m): 9:59pm On May 09, 2012 |
jmaine: Have never heard of these people whose duties are to shower praises on kings and individual. What comes to my mind are the griots common in Guinea and Senegal. |
