The Untold Story of Jesus of Ikot-Ekpene, EDIDEM BASSEY This is story back in time. It is a story of a man who lived like an emperor, who lived as if the world would never end but about whom very little is known. This piece attempts to amalgamate the most reliable information found on him. He proclaimed himself as Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Saviour and the Lord. While some viewed him as raving mad, his ‘madness’ attracted hordes of devoted worshippers to his territory. Soon, news spread all over and beyond Eastern Nigeria, of a strange man named Edidem Bassey, revered by his followers and branded the Jesus of Ikot-Ekpene. Today, the city of Ikot-Ekpene is located in Akwa Ibom State, a state that has the densest concentration of churches on earth. Ikot-Ekpene is regarded as the cultural and political centre of the Annangs and Ibibios and it is represented in the Nigerian Senate by a former governor of the state, Godswill Obot Akpabio Now, let’s roll back in time. When the Christian missionaries arrived Nigeria, Ikot-Ekpene was one of the first destinations. And they arrived with fire and brimstone, their goal was to convert everyone from what they regarded as African paganism to Christianity. The influence of Christianity is still very strong and visible in Ikot-Ekpene till date. However, since the native people already had their own set of traditional beliefs, what later emerged over time in some areas of Ikot-Ekpene was a blend of Christianity and African traditional religions, leading to a curious strand of syncretism that produced people like Edidem Bassey
No date, no timeline, very poor historical piece. It has added very little to the body of knowledge on this 'Jesus of Ikot-Ekpene'

We are now in the last days when people hide under the umbrella of Christianity and God's mercy to commit evil. These are people on the broad way, the way of eternal destruction.

What really hurts in the first place was how Africans believed that a man in Israel died for there sins in Africa?

They probably would have believed the Buddhist or Hindus if they got to Africa first.



Logically, Its an outright scam.
Since we have huge limitations as human beings we seem to need someone perfect and without limitations who we can run to for help, now what do we do?

problems with humanity is that we would rather accept to worship the Jesus we never see but read his history than the one we saw or knew. If this Basset was the first to arrive the world in the 'Jesus Series' , he could have been the accepted Jesus to be worshipped, provided his followers propagated his belief all around the world like they did to Jesus of Nazareth and Mohammed of Medina. Till today, Judaism is not widespread because Moses's servants were careless to have allowed the Christians and Muslim's edit their story.

The truth abt Ppl Lik u is this:::1st u Dnt knw Wat to bliv::,2nd u want see things with ur eyes:3rd u wnt to Blv in d one that cn solve ur prblm instantly with or without faith..

4Th u ask so many questions::5 you open Bible Jst to look for loopholes::: u Jst wish d wrld cn Jst b without good or bad...

Wat is really hard for you is simple to others..

You are confused of Wich to worship is simple:::follow any one Dat says u shuld not do any bad thing...you and I knw Wat is bad or good:::and is very simple to knw d good things..

It is simple to knw this good n bad:::u culd b demanded to pay for their services,or kill,or any other bad thing u knw....wen u enter any place of worship ur eyes n brain will tell u Whr u r....

If u feel Muslim is telling u n also doing good...den join...if u feel Christians are doing good den join,if u feel jesu of ikot ekpene is doing good join so mny....
If u feel u cnt join any of dem n u cn do Wat is good....still okk

Eye witness account. Today men will not allow a self-claimed 'jesus' to go near their wives.

Ikot ekpene the cultural and political centre of the ibibios?? whoever wrote this article is high on a concoction of concentrated weed. The ibibios can never and will never have their cultural or political headquarters in an anaang town like ikot ekpene. Anaangs are far below the ibibios in number level of education, exposure, beauty and wealth. Please be informed op. no offense

Yeah, you're right. But those ones are mostly cults and usually, members aren't too vocal about their association with the group. I think Nigerians just need to believe in a supernatural force to help them cope with their problems, no matter how ridiculous it is.

Haaaa! Edidem Bassey. Stories of this man held me in awe.

Anyone who attended FGC IK between 97-03 probably knew his daughters: Matilda and Ruth. Matilda was in my class. Good Lawd! If there was ever a scale of beauty for the African woman, these girls surpassed it. At 14, Matilda already had the looks and body that will make a preacher yell gaddamnnnnn. I don't even wish to know what they look like now, their impressionable beauty filled my teenage head and brought me panting into adulthood.
