All these people, Ime is Ibibio and Ibibio is not igbo.

Ime means Patience,

We are Ibibio, we share culture and language with just the calabar people of cross rive of the efik extraction.. We barely share culture or traditions wit igbo.
We are neighbors with igbo, but brothers with the Efik.

Lets not always subsume ibibio, efik, oron, annang under igbo, its an insult to us..


Subsume who....seems you are a newbie here

He is Igbo. There are igbos communities in akwaibom.

What does Udoka mean then?
Lol, they have a meaning for Udoka in their own language , ask any Akwa Ibom friend, if you have one. Moreover my friend back in college has Udoka as his last name, yet he's from Oron, the interior of Akwa Ibom and they have no boundary with any Igbo state.

Mumu Shut the f uck up. There are Igbo communities in akwaibom. You have Ohaobu Ndoki for example. Udoka is an Igbo word whether you agree or not.

Igbos don't have to claim this because It means something in Igbo language.
Udo-eka was corrupted to Udo-ka meaning "second son of his mother". Ime means Patience

He is typically Ibibio

Since you've decided to play the ethnicity card, let me remind you that Ime Udoka is from of Etinan Heritage,
a son of Akwa Ibom State, in the South-South region of Nigeria. He's not an Igbo man from the South-East and Akwa Ibom is not part of South-East. Udoka is a name used majorly by both Ibibio and Annang tribes in Akwa Ibomites and some Igbo families. To separate them the Akwa Ibom people sometimes spell theirs as Udoaka. Know this and know peace!

Dude there are indigenous igbos in Akwa Ibom i do not need to lie and no one is claiming anything. You are leaving the ones in the north who are claiming everything and blaming an igbo man that just wants his business
Re: Ime Udoka Becomes The First Nigerian To Coach A Team To The NBA Finals by Ubiman(m): 3:20pm On May 30, 2022
There's nothing like indigenous Igbos in Akwa Ibom. We call them settlers. They own no claim to any of the ancestral heritage of the Akwa Ibom territories they squat in. So, stop this nonsense. Do they have their own laws and government that is recognized by the State? Let this your "Indigenous" rubbish end there. Post your sign post anywhere in Akwa Ibom, like you do all over the South East, and tell me what happens after.

Re: Ime Udoka Becomes The First Nigerian To Coach A Team To The NBA Finals by Ubiman(m): 3:29pm On May 30, 2022
Illiterate Igbos are fond of claiming ethnic superiority over other ethnic groups south of the Niger, especially in the South South region. They claim the achievement of their smaller neighbours as theirs. When Vitalis Udoka emigrated to Portland and suffered, he wasn't Igbo. He never got help from the Igbo community because of course he was one of theirs. But as soon as his son achieved something hooge, he becomes Igbo. Vitalis Udoka, father of Ime Udoka, is an Akwa Ibom man, so that makes Ime Udoka and his sister Akwa Ibom people. Follow the link below for proof.

thats the wey the claim .. The other day one was saying that all the African Americans are Igbo and one wonder which slavery relics are found in the east.. All the slavery activities occurred in Calabar, Akwa ibom , opupo, Bonny island and Lagos
Re: Ime Udoka Becomes The First Nigerian To Coach A Team To The NBA Finals by abeliver: 3:41pm On May 30, 2022
shame no dey catch these Igbos....see as they are claiming an Akwa Ibom man as their own. lmao
Re: Ime Udoka Becomes The First Nigerian To Coach A Team To The NBA Finals by Ubiman(m): 3:44pm On May 30, 2022
So, tell me something because I just read the same article you just did. If my brothers and I migrate from Akwa Ibom to Imo State with our wives and we settle down in a small territory and start breeding and growing our families into small community that maintains its Akwa Ibom heritage, would it be right if we come to Imo State government and tell them we want to be call "The Indigenous People of Ikot Nkanang Ibom" of Imo State? Why should I change the name of a village that's been that of the Igbos for years simply because my forefathers settled there? Why should the Igbos in that community da to reject that Akwa Ibom name given to that community when it does not share boundaries or historically belong to the Igbos? Settling in a business district for years doesn't make it yours. Maps have been drawn and historical documents point to Ukanafun people's ownership of that territory. Stop these lies of yours!
Make person go mount signpost make I see na.
