lol,
From the book, I knew of Nung Asang in Ikot-Abasi. My mom is actually from Nung Asang Ikono in Uyo. As history (confirmed by the "Ibibio" book) states, those of you in Ikot Abasi emigrated from Nung Asang Ikono in Uyo. As you may know, the Ibibio has its origins in Ikono (hence when libation is poured, any "pourer" who is worth his salt and isn't political, will start with "Etefia Ikono").
I hope this helps.

Yeah, I guess thats why my villa is called Nung Asang Akiama(hope I got the spelling!) by my folks, to differentiate it from those in Uyo, My hubby is from Itak in Ikono LGA, he'll be thrilled to know his people are the origin of the Ibibios. This is most enlightening! Keep up the good work! |

Ibibio isongo, This is my first post here and I'm really thrilled that we're represented in Nairaland, I'm from Akwa Ibom but reside in Port Harcourt. I schooled at UNIUYO (pre Akpan Ekpo problems-o), My 2 cents, God Bless you real good. This will definitely help. I have cousins who can't speak a work of Ibibio even though they were brought up right here in Naija, Zequisha, I can help you out a bit with spoken ibibio not written. My People, Yak Emem Abasi akem afit owo udeme. Debbie |
