She is a devout Catholic and very devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

She has a mission to empower women, alleviate poverty, encourage youths who are disillusioned and give the disabled a sense of belonging.

Since the assumption of her role as the First Lady of Akwa Ibom State, Mrs. Akpabio has given of her time, energy and resources to the poorest and otherwise excluded groups in the State. She has established the Family Life Enhancement Initiative, as a not-for-profit organization to promote the well being of the families which she is trying hard to sensitize in order to reposition them for the moral good of the society.
HUMANITARIAN WORK
Apart from women, children and young people who constitute the stated targets of Mrs. Akpabio's work, she has also created a big social impact on the lives of the physically challenged, the motherless, the hospitalized, the homeless, the elderly and the prison inmates in the State.

For the physically challenged children in the State, Mrs. Akpabio, the loving and kind mother of Akwa Ibom State has come to their support in very reasonable and characteristic ways. On one occasion, she presented 40 wheel chairs, 15 tricycles, 40 pairs of crutches, 20 Braille machines and cane sticks to handicapped children, selected from special schools and communities in the 31 Local Government Areas of the State. Mrs. Akpabio has continued to offer the hand of support to other disadvantaged people by donating computer sets as well as the mobility and visual aids.

The First Lady has been open-handed to many needy persons and groups but her kindness towards a blind, Mr. Noah Jonah of Inem Ikot Ibiom in Oruk Anam Local Government Area and Mr. Cosmas Okon Edem, a homeless father of six children in Ifa Ikot Okpon, Uyo Local Government area, has been quite profound.

Mrs. Akpabio, through the Family Life Enhancement Initiative built a four bedroom flat for Mr. Edem and a four-room apartment to house the blind man and his family of four. Three more of such buildings are currently under construction for some other families without accommodation in other Local Government Areas as part of the Governor's benevolence which is expected to spread to the entire 31 councils in the State.

Obiagu1:

Why did she pick that name Ekaette?

I am sure the hubby sort off ''forced'' (note the quotes) it on her. Akwa Ibom men are 'lords' over their women

In exchange, it looks like Peter Obi's wife is Akwa Ibom. Not sure though but that maiden name Usen sounds very much Akwa Ibom

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Obi

Peter Obi married Margaret Brownson Usen in 1992 after which they had their first child Gabriella Nwamaka Frances Obi, two years later they had their first son Gregory Peter Oseloka Obi.[3]

Olodo. It shows how intertwined the old Eastern region is

Some Akpabio-Obi-wives connection in photo

The offspring produced by the SE and Akwa Ibom/Cross river are really cool.
I have seen so many marriages between these two groups and am really impressed.

Liyel Imoke is an Igboman.

You dug up this thread from archives to ignite tribal war among old Eastern region, abi? Their unity is a threat to you, abi? This recent tactics of your paymasters will fail flat. Those guys are now more united than you can imagine. Sorry, your tricks can't tear them apart.

I do not find anything so fascinating about marry Igbo or marrying from Igbo. As an Igboman myself, where I marry does not automatically translate to fortune or holiness.
If you don't know, Former Gov of Rivers, Peter Odili married an Igbo woman, Princess Mary Odlil from Eziudo, Odizi in Ezinihitte Mbaise, the present Gov of that state Amaechi also married an Igbowoman. IBB married an Igbo woman from Asaba, Mariam Babangida (or so). The Aviation minister Princess Stella Adaeze Oduah is Anambra but married to Ak City, the minister of Petroluem Deziani Allison Madueke is a Bayelsan married to an Enugu man. Peter Obi married from Ak City. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is from Delta Igbo and married to Abia. The woman representing Ahiazu-Mbaise in Imo state House of Assembly is Mrs Funke (I hope I got the name), a Yorubawoman married to Mba5.
This does not confer any fortune to any particular person or people cos some of the men were poor when they married these women. Likewise, some of these women were nobodies when they were married. Some of the women also came from intimidating backgrounds before they married these men.

nwa, kedu

Let's they inter tribal marriage continue, one love my people, One love Biafra.
