powerhouse3:I already stated it and have written on Nsibidi over the course of my time on this forum and on other fora. The Ekpe cult is typically in Ibiono Ibom LGA of Akwa Ibom State. The Ekpe cult members were and still are the custodians of the Nsibidi form of writing which is similar to Hieroglyphics when analyzed. One of main headquarters of slavetrade was along the shore of the Ibeno-Ikot Abasi area and Efik slaves along with slaves from the hinterlands where he Annangs and hinterland Ibibios reside. About Akwa Ibom (chiefly Ibibios) being better than and dominating Cross River (sparsely Efiks) in ways I have mentioned in my preceding post: It's stating the obvious. Culturally and historically, the Ibibios have always dominated the Efiks and her neighbours. It has continued even till this day. Heck! Even the first civilian governor of Cross River State was an Ibibio man (Clement Isong). The OP trying to hoodwink the reading public with false tales of 'never-was' had to be challenged. And asides ridiculing him here, my earlier dare still stands: We should both compare valid notes, records (including pictorial evidence) about the dominance or not of the Ibibios in the AkwaCross region. Don't stoke embers of seething hatred with firewood of falsehoods. 7 Likes |

"Efik edi mbakara". Nothing can negate Efikness or Efik-being than these words. That Efik people really believe that they are "mbakara", white, speaks encyclopedic volumes about the Efik psyche. When will the Efik accept who they are - Efik- exclusively? What troubles the Efik so much that they strive so hard to proclaim they are "mbakara", arrogating themselves a perceived but totally imaginary whiteness? How can the Efik nation thrive when they must first equate their culture first to "mbakarism", then to Judaism? But there is no surprise here. Effiong Ukpong Aye, their leading beacon now dead, once claimed the Efik had Ghanaian ancestry! The Efik will never feel happy enough in his skin because fundamentally, the Efik feels inferior to all other surrounding communities. The Efik must seek other references for validation, even if those references fall totally outside the realm of logic. This debilitating mindset defines the Efik and remains the most singular reason Efikland is doomed. Since the Efik feel superior to the Ibibios and nations of northern Cross River (the later whom they refer to dismissively as "Atam people", they have sadly fooled themselves into believing in their own delusions. "Efik edi mbakara." Indeed�. 2 Likes |

You see what I mean..
If I speak again some online hoodlums will start quoting me..
Just because you read one book doesn't make you enlighten.
One speaker above even painted it as if Efik colonized Ibibio...
Bla bla bla... They enslave Ibibio, IBO etc..
Can you imagine...
Even went as far as mention names as a borrowed name...

jjhnja44es:. You are only making yourself more and very STUPID, if you don't know what constitute a slave back then you can do well to read books like " The two princes of Calabar " and for who the Aros are to the Ibibios this will help that mushroom brain of yours http://books.google.com/books?id=ez58Dwpa8JcC&pg=PA137......written by Adeile Afigbo See complete idoit that don't know anything history. Is it the George Bush family that can trace their family lineage to English Aristocracy that you say is not pure English? Almost all the President in America, George Washington for a start are descendants of British Royalty, you are here comparing a society where the family trees and their genealogy can be easily traced out so easily and methodologically to one originally kicked out of their kinsfolk and later got mixed up all with all manners now living in creeks and estuaries trying to feel important. Who adopted original what? See this fool that has completely lost is identity, clinking on to slave merchant names from Liverpool, Leeds talking about originality What is Anglo -Efik names? You are romancing British names into what, in this century you still suffering from mental and colonial skavery? Your inferiority complex is very transparent 1 Like |

jjhnja44es: This is 21st century where many people are thinking development both human and natural, but here we have someone arguing about who brought what to where and who deported who from where, instead of pressuring your government to develop the state. Go to Calabar and ask where the famous TINAPA is... Africa's Premier Business and Leisure Resort.... The place has lost its glory because of only God knows why. Roads in Calabar are the worst in the country, their governor promised them SPAGHETTI FLYOVER and SUPER HIGHWAY, till now nothing is done. If they want to resurrect their place as a tourism centre they should think development and stop arguing whose name is Efik or not... Has those names make federal government to dredge Calabar port? Has it made TINAPA functional, what about the TINAPA MONO-RAIL that was envisaged to transport business people from Calabar Airport to Tinapa? Just like what is happening with the federal government.... Misplaced priority is what is making the efiks to be a sixth class ethnic group in Nigeria. Wide up man. |
