ibibiogrl: What about eket? |
Re: Beautiful Names In Efik/ibibio by ibibiogrl: 11:20am On Feb 12, 2019 |
Kenttoday:Similar names but not exactly are Uduakobong/Uduakabasi which means God's will, which is similar to God's desire. Then Ewongobong/Ewongoabasi meaning God's promise |
Re: Beautiful Names In Efik/ibibio by ibibiogrl: 11:43am On Feb 12, 2019 |
darfay:Eket is a subgroup of Ibibio therefore it can be considered a dialect of Ibibio. Although Eket language can not be fully understood by an Ibibio, which is why Eket indigenes speak Ibibio proper as a second language. 1 Like |

ibibiogrl: I always thought eket is an ethic group on its own |
Re: Beautiful Names In Efik/ibibio by ibibiogrl: 1:41am On Feb 13, 2019 |
darfay:Maybe in the ancient times, but now they're a subgroup of Ibibio and practice same cultures as Ibibios. Although they've a few unique culture that's originally theirs. Here's a thread that explains in details about the different groups in Akwa-Cross. https://www.nairaland.com/609355/whats-major-differance-between-igbo#8218480 |

Beachside: Very interesting. Makes a lot of sense. Thank you for sharing. |

AtaniWarrior: Ignore that Person the person is absolutely ignorant and doesn't even know what he/she is talking about There's nothing like Calabarian, seems the person is confusing Kalabari-Ijaw with Calabar. That person doesn't even know that Calabar is a city in another state, also Efik is not even spoken in the same state where Ibibio is spoken. That person would not recognize 1 word out of all those languages, not to talk about knowing the differences. I don't know why Ignorant people choose to give their ignorant opinion as advice To learn more about the differences in not only languages but the cultures and traditional diffrerences of Major groups in Akwa Ibom and Cross River state. READ DETAILS HERE: https://www.nairaland.com/609355/whats-major-differance-between-igbo AtaniWarrior: Kakakpo is not Ibibio might have been a nickname that the Aro-Igbo fighters gave to the half Ibibio prince, maybe mispronoucing Akpo=corpse(similar to Ekpo=ghost/masquerade.) Could've been hailig him as too powerful to be a human being Awa=to sacrifice, it is also the name of a big village/clan I believe Ini Edo and the current govenor of Akwa Ibom are from there. Inokon is a last name might have been an abreviation of Ino okoneyo= thief of the night. 1 Like |

Beachside:Why didn't you quote me directly instead of beating around the bush There is nothing like Calabarian, ignorantly as u sound you might be confusing Kalabari which is Ijaw with Calabar is a city and not even the original name of that city. So I don't understand how it can be use as a name for the indigenes when that name has no meaning in their language. The Calabar people are Efik and some Ejagham and they are in Cross River state. A separate state from Akwa Ibom state where Ibibios and Annang Indigenes are of. Who told you that Ibibio and Annang don't have dialects Am sure you don't even know, as U won't even recognize 1word from any of those languages But U are Ignorantly stating your opinion here as the standard. Portuguese and Spanish should be dialect of each other as those languages are more similar than Annang and Ibibio. Incuding Italian. Ibibio has several, infact Eket can be considered a dialect of Ibibio since its a sub-group of ibibio, Annang has 3-4 dialects that an Ibibio, Efik & Oron won't understand 2words. Efik doesn't have any dialect, except Ukwa was a dialect of Efik, but that language is dying. Oron is a separate langauge that has more in common with Efik langauge, infact Oron can be considered a sub-group of Efik althou they're in separate state, infact due to the lack of understanding of Oron language, they speak Efik as a 2nd langauge. Also having lived in Abak & Calabar for a while I can tell you the differences in language. THE ARE NOT DIALECTS OF EACH OTHER; 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. Comparism to Spanish, Portugeuse, French and Italian in greeting How are You? (die pronounce as Dear) Annang: Atie die? (Pronouced as) Atie lie? Ibibio: Aba die? Efik: Etie didie? Oron: Sala Digie(not sure about spelling) Spanish: Cómo estás? French: Comment ça va? Italian : Come sta ? Portuguese_ Como você está So You can see that Efik and Ibibio and Annang are just like Spanish, Portuguese and Italian languages U visiting 11 countries and learning a few words of Efik doesn't mean anything, if U cannot tell the differences between languages and dialects to state your Ignorant opinion as a Fact I don't want to repeat this lesson of almost a decade again So READ DETAILS HERE: https://www.nairaland.com/609355/whats-major-differance-between-igbo |

Beachside:Again you are pronouncing your ignorance in Details here Maybe you grew up in Scotland and know absolutely nothing about Nigeria I gave you the link to a thread to learn. So Yoruba and Igbo are now the same and dialects of each other Riducolus Even Scotland and Ireland have more in common that these groups. U might be confusing the recently coin or created country of Nigeria with the 250 different groups in the country Please ask your father or go visit his family elders and ask them your history. You don't know about migration? Even many groups and languages in Nigeria are dead and more are dying. There is nothing like Akwa-Cross, its only a name coin by the Ibibio Movie industry in Uyo to market to Cross River state because they sometimes have 1character that will speak Efik or come from Calabar, Akpabuyo or any Efik village in their movies. Ok what are the 16groups that u recognize as the only legitimate different groups in Nigeria? |
Re: Beautiful Names In Efik/ibibio by ibibiogrl: 6:47am On Mar 04, 2020 |
Beachside:Then U need to go back to Nigeria and to your fathers village to learn Your Ignorance and Refusal to learn is very Embarrassing Your Efik people will soon be here to embarass U further I was born in DC and still live there so am American also, but Thank God my parent made me go back to live and learn my culture in Nigeria might be the reason I am passionate about teaching the ignorant as yourself Maybe it's Laziness since I gave U a link to the thread to learn the differences in details, All I can do now is to give you a summary detail. 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 [b] 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. 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?
