I just got to know that recently ibibio is not just one language, there are variations, I know my place ibiono speaks the same with uruan, then ikono and uyo speak the same, I don't really know much about the rest. The thread was about one clown claiming urhobo was the 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria with a very useless write up to justify his claim. The clown and his cohorts were attacked seriously tho especially from the ijaws and us ibibio

At last something positive has come out of this Good that you have actually started asking your father to learn more about your family history.
Because all my write up to stress that Ibibio has many dialect was taken as a disunity campaign by you I don't care about Urhobos being the 4th largest group or whatever So you are wrong that was not the thread I was talking about. Like I said I only cared when my ancestors were being Insulted. So I have called both Ur attention to 1 of such threads. I've been trying to post the link & quotes here since last week but am always blocked daily by Spambot

naijaguy77:
Are you sick? Since when did Oron people become Ibibio? And since when did Oro language or even Efik language become an Ibibio dialect?

Just consider the following facts:

1) Oro people speak oro language, they also generally understand Efik language but only because the bible was first translated into Efik, so the missionaries used Efik to spread the gospel. Even in the most rural parts of Oro, people can understand efik, but ibibio is some irritating sound that no one relates to.

2) Ibibio is a dialect of Efik, not the other way around. Efik is the main language, it is understood by everyone, Efiks, Oros, Ibibios, Anangs, etc. The Efik bible is what is used from Ikot Ekpene to Ikot Ansa, so I wonder which alternate universe you live in where Ibibio is a language and Efik is a dialect?

3) What are the characteristics of a language, as opposed to a dialect? Efik is studied in university, Efik has poetry and artistic music from Inyang Nta Henshaw to Peter Effiom, plays and playwrights, literary luminaries, Professors of Efik language such as E.N. Amaku, Efik alphabets and etymology. Jesus, what is ibibio? Ibibio is a barbaric dialect of the efik language.

Comparing Efik and Ibibio is like comparing Queens Engligh to Pidgin English, just because more idiots speak pidgin English doesn't make it the language, it is still the sub-language/dialect of proper English.

Maybe becuase you have started getting some oil money (which you don't even produce a drop of oil, oil is produced by Oros, Ibenos, and Obolos) and you are no longer houseboy and housegirl, you think you can come on nairaland and denigrate other people's culture and language? You better think again.

The Ibibios, up until recently, have been something of 2nd class citizens in that region. Because they live in the hinterland (despite being in a predominantly Riverine/coastal region) , they had the following misfortunes:

1) The Efiks and Oros are coastal people and their main commodity during the slave trade era were ibibios. They sold ibibios to Europe slave traders and this led to the generally perception of the ibibios as inferior. Since they had no access to the coast and were mere commodity.

2) During the colonial and missionary era, the Europeans first settled in the coast - Lagos, Calabar, Oron etc. Because of this, Education and Administrative generally went to people from the coastal regions, hence the reason why you find the oldest schools in these areas - Hope Waddell Training Institute Calabar, Methodist Boys High School Oron, St. Patrick's College Calabar, Kings College Lagos, etc. Because of this, the ibibios had no access to Education until the late 20th century. This naturally placed them at a disadvantage to the Efiks and Oros, who are coastal people and had earlier interaction with Europeans, embraced western education early, etc.

Today, you see jokers come on the internet to proclaim a barbaric dialect as a language. Can you tell us even one seminal work done in the ibibio dialect? None. You think a sound is considered a language because it is chanted by numerous monkeys?
What a joke.
The main language of the Lower Cross River Basin is EFIK. The dialects of Efik include Ibibio and Anang. Some related languages to Efik are Oro and Ibeno.

Blackking98 & nsiba this was the most insulting post But you can Read from page 1 for more others. Also scroll up to read my response on page 16. So next time you accuse me of disrupting your unity campaigns, Remember this thread & replies like this

AtaniWarrior:
lol all is well. You make good points. The Ibibio are likely the oldest people in their current location. Perhaps the Proto Ibibio speakers migrated to their current location from present day Southern Cameroon thousands of years ago just like how the Proto Igbo speakers may have migrated to their current location from the Niger Benue Confluence thousands of years ago.

True. The Uruan, Efik, Oron, etc have common origin. The Ibibios of Arochukwu and Efiks have a relationship as well. Based on Efik accounts, at least some of the ancestors of the Efik people lived in the Arochukwu area before moving to their current location. A lot of migrations took place back then.

When the Efiks migrated to the Calabar area, they mixed with the Ejagham/Qua, Efut, etc significantly. A lot of cultural exchange. For example, the Efik adopted Nsibidi (And maybe Ekpe?) from the Ejagham. After some time, it seems like the Efiks (Oron and Uruan as well) had a lot of contact with other groups and eventually developed distinct cultural practices from their Ibibio relatives.

Seems you still believe that Efik migrated from Uruan & Arochukwu. Uruan are ibibio s they speak ibibio and practice all of ibibios tradition. Uruan LGA is even close to mine Uyo capital of AKS. Only thing that makes Uruan unique is that some still practice the traditions that they adopted from Efik. Infact since the creation of AKS most are back to being just normal Ibibios. Therefore Uruans have the same origins as the rest of the Ibibios.
Maybe Efik have exchanged cultures with Ejaghams like nsibidi. But there are many other unique traditions of Efik. Am being blocked daily by Spambot here recently. So you might want to go back to Read the thread about the differences of the groups, because I mentioned quite a few like their marine God/Goddess AtimOkpoEbot

Lol claimers United FC. You are still a disgrace, Akwa ibomites and efiks here in Nigeria are advocating for integration and unity so we can survive this contraption called Nigeria, you're here because you have the privilege of being outside the country you're subdividing in your wack imagination, keep your views or research to yourself and your USA and allow us that are here to decide if we're one or not. you are a real clown, there are many people I've met In Akwa Ibom that can't speak their native Oro or annang or eket but speak ibibio, does that reduce or deny them their ethnicity? Stop sounding like a single woman in menopause, my father schooled in Akwa Ibom and understands Efik very well, he even told me during colonial times they were taught Efik language in school because the efiks were the first among us to come in contact with the white men and Calabar was the administrative capital, I have never come across an Akwa ibomite that does not understand efik across any age be it young or old, even now that the lines between Efik and ibibio is getting slimmer and slimmer, I speak Efik better because I grew up in Calabar which is normal, I didn't say I don't speak ibibio, seems age is making you really retarded. So low of you really to be mongering division honestly. But just let me know, what do you gain in this your divisive behavior? Majority Akwa ibomites and efiks on this forum have told you we're one or atleast better off as one large ethnic group containing different sister tribes, why do you have a problem with that? In Nigeria nobody gives a hoot if we're Efik or ibibio or annang etc, we're all called calabar people, even here in Cross river, central and nothern Cross Riverians can't easily differentiate between us given the fact that they have been in the same state with us for years. You really need to channel your research energy into fostering unity between Akwa ibomites and efiks as that will so us better in this contraption called Nigeria, diving us into smaller groups will not serve us well, heed advise please

So I am now ur fathers age mate Have you actual finish sec school? because I've been saying that it's only[ younger Ibibios growing up in Aks that will only understand a little Efik in the future, cos it's not being taught in schools Akd again
E.g. Urself can't speak proper Efik or Ibibio. Uked Agwo= Afit Awo/owo(ibibio) & Kpukpru Owo(Efik)

As for character, you are right, Efik person is always a proud person probably due to rich history,cultural heritage &early contacts with whites.

MY RESPONSE;-Enough with the Insults! These differences has already been discussed & explained in a previous threads years ago. Also Ini Edo was acting a movie that's why she's dress like that U can google her traditional wedding & U will see she was dressed completely in Ibibio attire. No Ibibio is copying Efik, we're Very Proud of our traditions and customs. Even the Uruan Ibibios related to Efiks majority aren't wearing Efik gowns anymore, but dressing in Ibibio attire for their traditional marriage. If you see any Akwa Ibomite dress in Efik traditional outfit, it's probably [b]Oron, who share the same traditions with Efik, they're also the only ones speaking Efik in AKS because they cannot speak Ibibio & Efik is their 2nd Language.

Re: Mixed Tribes by ibibiogrl: 1 year & 8 months

No difference. Efiks and ibibios are the same. Both understand each others dialect, same language, similar culture and very tiny differences. Even the neighboring igbo don't know the difference. Efiks and ibibios are the least violent specie of Nigerians.

There are many differences between Efik and Ibibio, difference in dressing Efik wear a gown and Elaborate hair dress etc. Ibibio tie 2 wrappers with a blouse, like most south easterners but without coral beads. Also difference in marriage traditions, Efiks coach the bride to be in fattening rooms and there are ceremonies before the actual marriage, ibibios don't. Efik traditions is Rule by Ekpe secret society, Ibibio don't have Ekpe, different traditional gods and different greetings. There are many other differences, the only similarity between Efik and Ibibio is the food and language; although most young Ibibios growing up in Akwa Ibom will only understand a little Efik in the future, since Efik language isn't used in Akwa Ibom.
The most similar ethnic group in Akwa Ibom to Efik is Oron . Please refer to this websites for pictures; Annang also has same differences

Please don't compare your Ikwere/Igbo war to us, Because it is not the same situation.
Efik, Ibibio and Annang are just like Spanish, Italian and French, the are from the same language family but different. An Efik, Ibibio or Annang can understand parts of each others language, but not fully escept they have lived in the others region.
Annang has 3 dialects in it language, also Ibibio has dialects example Eket/Ibeno is a dialect of Ibibio. Even though Eket language can not be fully understood by an Ibibio, they have never denied being Ibibio, they regard themselves as a subgroup of Ibibio, speak Ibibio as a second language and practice the same traditions as Ibibio.
Oron regard themselves as a subgroup of Efik, they dress like and practice the same traditions as Efik, although their language can only be understood by themselves; which is why they speak Efik as a second language.
They 3 main groups Annang, Efik and Ibibio ARE SEPARATE not just because of different languages but because they also practice different traditions and cultures.

AtaniWarrior:
From your understanding, where did the Proto Ibibio speakers come from?

Did the ancestors of the Efik people originally come from the Ibibio groups in the Arochukwu and Uruan areas?

Sorry the dumb people that have been posting lately in this thread distracted me

Ibibios are the oldest inhabitants of their location and so I don't believe the migrated from Usak Edet in Cameroon. https://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/1687277
https://www.jstor.org/stable/485085?seq=1

Also I don't believe that the ancestors of Efik came from Arochukwu or Uruan groups, I believe that most of them stayed in Adadia a village in Uruan, after migrating from or through Cameroon. Because the Oron group never lived in Uruan or Arochukwu, but yet they have the same cultures and traditions as Efik. Although most Orons do regard Uruan as their relatives just because of that Efik connection. Then you have the Ejaghams who's other half are still in Cameroon, yet they still share most cultures and traditions with Efik.

So how did Efik get these cultures and traditions if they were originally from Arochukwu or Uruan

Smileatannie:
Thanks. See what I found online. Don't know if it makes any sense.

Okay I found similar in Google. Still relates because Ekikere translates to reasoning, thoughts etc.in Ibibio. So the Ikike might be another dialect of Ibibio.

contrary to your weird claim's that Akwa ibomites don't understand Efik or speak it , I speak Efik better than my ibibio, I understand about 60% of the standard Annang language although I can only say a sentence or two, I'm sure if I lived in Akwa Ibom I would have understood it more. The lines of difference between ibibio, Efik, Annang and Oro is getting slimmer by the day, you're all the way in USA (assuming your claim is true) dividing people up and down in your imagination. You are a disgrace to the ibibio race.

You are the Biggest disgrace to Ibibio race You can not speak Ibibio and don't even know or understand the basic history of Ibibioland Ejagham-Efik retard kid claiming to be Ibibio
Did I say that Aks youths don't understand Efik Or that the ones growing up in AKS will not fully understand Efik in the future, except the basic parts that are similar to Ibibio Here you are with an Ibibio father, but yet you can't speak Ibibio because you didn't live in AKS. So how can an Ibibio youth who grew up AKS in the 90s understand Efik completely

Alright since you understand 60% of basic Annang. Interprete this short sentence in Ibibio or at least Efik.
Annang= Eyin eda egwak uked = ?

honestly bro something needs to be done about this with the way she's spreading all these lies and feeding other people with false information.
What pains me the most is other tribes being so eager to learn about our Cultural knowledge since they all see us as one but the Ibibiogrl of a devil is feeding them with false information and spreading divisions.
Imagine her saying the differences are not minor but large and also that the Annang language isn't intelligible to the Ibibios.
She also said the young ones in Ibibio don't understand the Efik language.
The best thing is to just ignore her since social media has now become an avenue to spread lies.
She relies on Wikipedia for information.

So Wikipedia is your source of information no wonder, unfortunately there's no Annang translation in Wikipedia or Google. Is that Y you can't answer my questions since 2yrs ago and write 1sentence in Annang You were claiming to be Annang in 1thread some years ago and last week U were from Etoi and Ibibio Maybe because you don't know which is which of those languages Is Y u think you can go about claiming to be a different one each year but you have been Exposed & disgraced by me
Any reasonable human being can read through your posts including this one and know immediately that U are a FRAUD and not from Akwa Ibom at all. Ask Blackking98 if he can understand Annang
U think if I was wrong in any my sentences in either of those 3languages. Especially Annang that the Idad AkpaB99 would have been silent and not called me out immediately

I'm Annang and there are no differences between we ibibio and efik, same culture, same names and same languages, the only difference is that we're separated by large bodies of water.
Efik is a language, while Ibibio and Annang are dialects under the efik language

I've been observing all ur posts on this forum and ur desperate attempt to bring DisUnity between the Efiks, Ibibios and annangs.

I don't know why Nsiba and blackking98 should be taking you serious seeing that u shot yourself in the foot when claimed you ain't even in the country nor where u bred from here and only the few months u stayed in Abak made u come up with this whack idea and stupid thread u created.
Sorry Efiks, Ibibos, Annangs are all one and there is no matter of propaganda u can come up with that will separate them.
For your information I be Eyen Amana Isong Ibibio from Itiam Etoi in Uyo local government Area.
So change your moniker cos you're not Ibibio rather you're just a clown that has lost her cultural identity in a foreign land (that's if the claims of u staying abroad is even true)

Smileatannie:
Please someone help me with the meaning of this name. IKIKE/ IKIKEABASI.

Sounds like Ekikereabasi=thoughts of God/God's thoughts. I don't think Ikike is Ibibio, so might means something else in another dialect

don't allow that igbo girl deceive u i'm from akwa ibom state and there are only slight differences between Efik , Ibibio and annang. the languages are virtually the same with few dialect difference.
the culture and everything are the same.
ask her of any noun in efik that is different from ibibio (God, church, house, school etc)

Oh really am Igbo Just seeing this.
Maybe because you don't know but House in Efik is Ebiet Idung, while in Ibibio is Ufok, In Annang its Idung/Ilung. Most of the times places in Efik is refered to as Obio, while in Ibibio it's Idung.
There are many nouns in Efik that's different in Ibibio, few examples Young lady= Nkaifri(Efik) Aboikpa(Ibibio) & Feces=Uduang(ibibio) Ifvo(Efik) Afid(annang)

Akpara ibibio, stop quoting me . ekpo Akpara ino! annang kill you there .

Idad Uta agwo Annang! U have already slaughtered and eaten all your Annang kinsmen & U have finally slaughterd & eaten up your Rotten-corspe

I have told you to stop quoting me everywhere or mentioning annang in your rants. Your wayward akpara lifestyle at Eket mobil ,Abak and Owerri has been exposed .
Iban ibibio are only good for inna ye udia. used and dump akpara ibibio .

Look at Idad-ebot Useme Mkpo! What are Iden annang known for? Not even in your dreams can U stand in the presence of a girl like me. U must of been told off by several Ibibio girls!! No wonder you're trying to fulfill your fantancy of having a confession with 1 Which is why u created a special temporary account just for the occasion.

nsiba:
.
Jezebel! Slay Gran mama! Calling the name of Jesus, what wont we see n here.
IDAD you don jam confirmed nephew to an Ekpe chief

nsiba:
Picture is not the traditional thing, just one special leaf from across the creek and feather that lousy mouth will 4ver be calling my name non-stop
Shey adadama ibibiogrl you will quote 4ver don't worry

Like I say it will backfire to you 70,000folds! In Jesus!Name! You're not the 1st and atleast U've now started confessing to expose and confirm what u are. U've already Ran mad and now confessing

DateMynd44:
I've been observing all ur posts on this forum and ur desperate attempt to bring DisUnity between the Efiks, Ibibios and annangs.
It's too sad u can only deceive others who are not from the state but I'd like to know what u stand to gain by ur lies.
I don't know why Nsiba and blackking98 should be taking you serious seeing that u shot yourself in the foot when claimed you ain't even in the country nor where u bred from here and only the few months u stayed in Abak made u come up with this whack idea and stupid thread u created.
Sorry Efiks, Ibibos, Annangs are all one and there is no matter of propaganda u can come up with that will separate them.
For your information I be Eyen Amana Isong Ibibio from Itiam Etoi in Uyo local government Area.
So change your moniker cos you're not Ibibio rather you're just a clown that has lost her cultural identity in a foreign land (that's if the claims of u staying abroad is even true)

Really are you sure U Read my posts truly Or do you need glasses Because I've never created any threads on nairaland, also never said I lived a few months in Abak If you're truly from Etoi, then am sure U barely understand Annang. So how could I possibly learn typical annang dialect fluently within a few months How did I also learn Efik fluently? If I've lost my cultural identity how am I then able to speak my own language and other neighboring languages, including others histories in detail as well
As for your other comment, guess U didn't notice other peoples comments before I posted on that thread;https://www.nairaland.com/5717435/cross-river-assembly-rejects-ikpeme/1
Alright I will help you with a few quotes from the 1st page:-

There is nothing like Akwacross. Akwa ibom left y'all behind a long time ago. You cross riverians better move on

Stop this unity begging.. Akwa ibom left cross river for a reason... IF you feel akwa ibomites are too many in your state then send them away... Akwa ibom is doing better and will continue to do better. Some years ago you all were saying that akwa ibom can't have an airport, now there's an international airport... Now you're saying that akwa ibom wont ve a seaport in the ext 30 years.... Watch out! IBaka deep sea port is coming

Lol who do you see posting akwa cross. There's a reason the state split.
The clown will continue his unity begging.

Go and sit down Ibibio people hate Efik even more, don't be a hypocrite or be spreading lies.
The so-called AkwaCross unity is one of the biggest hypocritical nonsense in existence. They won't even fish in the same river, full of hates and infights.

What about this hostile replies to me

nsiba:
.
I know you are an EVIL spirit but u dare not call out my name ever again

U are the Wicked Occultic demon! Don't quote me or my post; or refer to any of my post again & you won't be mention

AtaniWarrior:
True. That is a good idea.
I will definitely do more research.

The retard nsiba didn't give you all the information. Full name of that deity is AwaItam It's one of the notorious deity in ibibioland, almost like Ibritam in the past. Itam is the biggest or 1 of the biggest clans in Itu LGA. If you take my interpretation Awa=to sacrifice & Itam(clan) it's still relates. Many people know about the deity AwaItam, so you should be able to find out more information.

Nowenuse:
So you mean Ibibiogrl was even a foreigner, an American lady who has been ranting all over here all this while, as if most of her life has been in Akwa Ibom state?
That's very sad and unfortunate.

Am a "Foreigner" yet I know all of my history speak my language and even speak other neighboring languages and know a bit about their historys
You think am like Beachside didn't you read that I grew up in Nigeria Check through all my post history in nairaland to see if anybody else especially those neighboring groups have rejected or replied back to any of my post as lies U want to take advice from that retard nsiba who doesn't even know how the women in his LGA or even the full name or anything about the diety in his suppose village, that deity Awaitam. Judging from his post on this thread and my responses who is truly the foreigner

Nowenuse:
Well, the Onus is now on men like you and nsiba to come together and see how you guys can create a long lasting coalition identity for Anangs,
Ibibios, Oros & Efiks and if possible include Ejagham.

Not allowing one foreign American lady who claims to be Ibibio to misrepresent you guys on a forum of over 2 million Africans.
This will be an identity for almost 10 million people.... One that can stand the test of time and if possible emerge to be a country of it's own when this entity called Nigeria eventually divides.
I am from Plateau state and I and others are working to see how we can unite the different but yet similar tribes of Plateau, Southern Kaduna, FCT, Nasarawa and Gongola (Taraba & Adamawa) together as one big family.. .... A new and large identity for about 25 million people that can stand the test of time.... Instead of continuing to wallow as inconsequential minorities.

From this thread itself am I the only one arguing that the are not the same , U think it's like you state of Plateau that abandon all their culture to Islam U want us to deny and abandon our different cultures like your people did to become Hausa Who told you that Ibibios are not upto 10million
AKPAB99 will not reply here now when a nobody who can't even spell Annang properly is combining Annang with Ibibio

Blackking98:
True man true. I don't see what people gain by further subdiving people unnecessarily, yesterday I was watching a program on NTA about languages and culture, while interviewing people on the streets of yaba and asking where they're from and to speak their language, all the "Calabar" people encountered were Akwa ibomites, just one Efik person, and the Akwa ibomites were very happy and comfortable being referred to as Calabar, yet one jobless online researcher is subdividing people in her imagination, cus in reality the Barriers separating Akwa Ibom and Efik is getting slimmer and disappearing by the day, I'm an ibibio man, but I speak Efik way better than ibibio, I use Efik most of the time, not only me, so many of us use it and are happy with it, vice versa for efiks, annangs and oron who speak ibibio cus it's understood on both sides of the river dividing Akwa Ibom and Cross river. No need diving ourselves into splinter groups unnecessarily, I support you too, you guys really need to come together and form an identity on your own because it seems like the hausa fulani Always want to overshadow and dominate u guys then shout one north when elections are around

U are Lying only those Fake Akwa Ibomites like U who were probably born and raise in Lagos and cannot even speak their language, will be happy to be refered to as Calabar which is not even a name of any ethnic group but a city. U are not even an Akwa Ibomite only that your father is from AKS. You are more Ejagham as am sure besides Efik you can speak Ejagham fluently. Am I the only poster in this thread that has been arguing that the aren't the same If the barriers are disappearing Y was Ikpeme Rejected as the chief justice
What about this hostile replies to me from this Idad Annang

AtaniWarrior:
lol honestly the meaning of Loesin is probably unknown at this point. Loesin was a chief priest of Ibritam (renamed Ibini Ukpabi) sometime in the 17th century.

Maybe it's not Ibibio, how about checking the interpretation in other neighboring languages, like Ekoi Ejagham, Oron etc...

AtaniWarrior:
lol maybe there are different meanings in other dialects. We will see. I know the information you provided is accurate based on some research I have done over the years though. I read about the meaning of Inokon before. I knew Okon is associated with night. Kakakpo/Kakpokpo (I have seen the name spelled as Akakpokpo too) being a mispronunciation or nickname of Akpo Akpo makes sense and maybe another possible meaning is Akak (Tired/Fed up/Exhausted) Akpo (Corpse/Deceased/Spirit).

Alright I see your points, but my interpretations are accurate in any Ibibio dialect, there are no other possible interpretation in Ibibio.

AtaniWarrior:
Is the meaning of the name Loesin related to the name Essien (The Child Who Takes Charge Of Outside Matters)?

I have never heard of Loesin , I have heard and know that Esin is an Oron name, but I don't know the meaning.
