DateMynd44:
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

DateMynd44:
very dumb and senseless write up.
Mmsen disregard this troll.
She isn't Ibibio and will never be

U are the Fakest FRAUD Annang man from Etoi in Uyo ridiculous utoto-nyakri

DateMynd44:
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

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)

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

DateMynd44:
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.

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

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.

AKPAB99:
Don't mention annang at all .Keep annang off your lips .Akpara ibibio! Go marry

How do U know that am not married U must be on nairaland browsing for akpara Annangs & each time disappointed that your search with Annang keeps leading back to my educated intelligent post about annangs thereby dashing your idad akpara hopes of finding your fellow hoes
BooHoO hoo Cry me a river
Why don't U attack Beachside and Nsiba who brought Annang into this thread Even Blackking98 said Annangs practice Ekpe.

AtaniWarrior:


Life Is Good. I recommend that we all relax, engage in constructive conversations, share information, and refrain from insulting each other.

Do you disagree with Ibibiogrl’s response about the meaning of Kakakpo, Awa, and Inokon? If so, what is the meaning of these names from your understanding?

I don't think that Retard undesrtands or speak the language, including any other language in Cross River or Akwa Ibom state but lets see what he/she will reply

AKPAB99:
Always posting the same trash.no go look for husband o . what are you always feeling like? Stop mentioning annang in your stupid rants . Annang has nothing to do with ibibio. keep anang off your lips . Ekpo akpara ino ! Akpara ibibio!

Akpara Uta agwo Idad Annang! I Think U are quoting and Responding to the WRONG person I have been trying to explain exactly what you are saying that Annang has absolutely Nothing in common with Ibibio, Efik, Oron, etc.... I've written on countless threads expressing these differences for the past 10yrs. Are U that Retarded or too drunk on agwo ataha ama to Read Get an educated Annang to Read and interprete my posts in whatever Annang dialect that U speak to you The groom in the post U quoted is from Obot Akara which is annang, so I had to mention Annang in my reply.

Then take your anger & frustrations to Beachside, Nsiba, Mildflame, Nowenuse & Blackking98 and most of the others in this thread, they are the ones that U need to convince that Annang has nothing to do with Ibibio

MEET A REAL IBIBIO GIRL 2D CORE (Part 1) Her husband is from obot Akara
Enwongo C. Cleopas
Happy December beloved friends. Please indulge me for roughly five minutes with a little story this Saturday morning.�
This dress is a result of an interesting research I embarked upon while trying to really know what the typical Ibibio maiden outfit was, especially the kind worn during marriage ceremonies.
I am of the Ibibio tribe and we are one of the five largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. Again, I am from a village known as Ikot Ebom Itam, Nung Ekanem in Itu Local Government Area, Akwa Ibom state of Nigeria. I had always known a bit about my culture and style influences but I was not confident of the extent of who or what influenced us.
_This dress was my first project point. It is commonly known in Efik as Oyoyon/Onyonyo. But in Ibibio, it is properly described as Onyo-yon. Onyo-yon is a verb word and it means ‘to crawl’ or ‘to drag’ or 'to flow'. This dress is a Victorian style dress adopted by certain tribes in the riverine area of Southern Nigeria as their ceremonial outfit. The history behind this style can be traced to the influence of the early female missionaries and colonial figures that frequented these regions during the active slave trade era, before the 19th Century.
If you are a student of Nigerian history, you will be familiar with the locations of settlement of the European colonialists before the specific entraption known as Nigeria was formed.
_The Efik(s), a sister tribe in Cross River first adopted, projected and modified the Victorian gown into their ceremonies and sometimes, every day wear. It is very common to see their women use this, but many people are not aware that this outfit is also worn by certain groups of the Ibibio and the Oro tribe in places like Itu, Ibiono, Uruan, and Oron Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom. How did these people come about using this style as well? The reason is simple. The water bodies surrounding these locations made it easy for missionaries and colonialists to settle amongst them as was done in some parts of Cross River.
_Interestingly, this style was later weakened and watered down when the Ibibios adopted styles worn by their neighbours in today’s Eastern Nigeria as their outfits were more comfortable, weather friendly, relatable and easier to navigate. It is pertinent to say here that a typical Ibibio woman was a trader, farmer and traveller and for ease of movement, the Onyo-yon was seen as a distraction only used during ceremonies especially marriages. They had no time for theatrics or dainty-ness. Some parts totally abandoned this style.
Now, a typical Ibibio maiden outfit, pre-colonial influence, was a bare upper body and a three tiers or two tier wrapper tied around the waist with wooden accessories or nothing at all. The introduction of a small top or blouse on wrapper was a colonial and post-colonial addition. (I will be using this for my traditional ceremony)
Back to the Onyo-yon in the picture. I decided to make findings as to the specific kind of Victorian style that was common in my region and I was led to the 1850 – 1900 day and evening Victorian dress. The gowns appear similar but certain features marked different eras. How to know this is to check the kind of material used, style of neck, pleats and the hand designs. Before the very recent usage of the lace, silk, velvet and cotton were used in making this style of dress. This is where I pause to say that if I was given this as an assignment in school, I probably would not have shown this level of excitement.
You might already be rolling your eye and saying, ‘wow, who send her’, the answer to your questions is, ‘na me send myself’.� And because I don’t want to drag this too long, I will cut it here. My findings could fill hundreds of pages but Facebook is not that place to keep it.
So yes, the Onyo-yon is also claimed by many other tribes including some places in Rivers state. Hopefully, I will be back to share pictures of me properly adorned in every accessory that goes with this style as an Ibibio maiden. (The word maiden makes me giggle).

Yet she wore this for her traditional marriage https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2409288009398550&set=a.1380218695638825&type=3&theater

Be honest with me, where were you born?
Where did you live your first 12 years and where are you right now?

U asked me these questions, let me answer. Despite being from Uyo I have never live there, only visit during christmas & visiting relatives etc..
I was born in Washington DC and I still live there now. I went to high school/secondary school in Nigeria to learn my culture, that was when I lived in Calabar and Abak . That's why am very passionate about teaching Ignorant retard as urself

Go run your mouth in the kitchen am done with your type

Read and re-read your link and tell itself if she ever set foot on IBO soil or her works went b4 her....

Whosoever you her keep it private there is no need

Well U keep arguing Ridiculously, seems even if I post my pictures here with my full name at my cousins TM marriages in Itu, U will still argue that it was not
As for Mary Slessor, I already read somewhere that she stopped the killing of twins in the South south area of Nigeria. Arochukwu was part of the Cross River area in those days, same as Itu. Despite Itu creating a memorial burial site for her, she lived in Okoyong in CRS.

Now I know you know nothing, absolute nothing just!
You don't know if Efik is spoken in ITU?
You don't know why women and the people demonizing them, their command in the society?
You have never been to ITU/ Ibiono
You confused Akampa with odukpani now you telling me Mary Slessor set foot on Arrochukwu?
You r Royalty what is that? In Ibibio chieftaincy aren't hereditary...
That as a woman in Ibibio land you want to tell me you know the cults your father belonged to or anything that has to do with initiation?
I think this has turn into gossip, take your gossip to the market or go look after your husband, you will only know what you know

Odukapni and Akampa are both Ejagham/Ekoi so what difference does it make
I don't want to waste my time arguing with a Retard My father didn't below to any cult, neither did my grand father infact a street in Uyo main town where my family lives is named after my grandfather. The chieftaincy in my family is hereditary. It's not just a political position.
As for Mary Slessor so U don't even know much about her but U keep using her a reference Did U read the link I posted? So her official biography is now lies

Blackking98:
sigh. Ibiono ibom local government area, what question do u have again?

Alright can U confirm to nsiba how the brides dress to get married in your village.

Blackking98:

She's mixing things up, outside oron different ibibio and Annang clans play ekpe but in very small numbers compared to the ekpo in Akwa Ibom.

Again don't sound as ridiculous as nsiba without prove. Name those Ibibio clans aside from Uruan that pay tributes to Ekpe Don't let any Annang hear U mention them with Ekpe Not even 1Annang person practice Ekpe
@Pazienza this Annang statement is prove that this Blackking98 knows absolutely nothing about AKS culture. I thought he was better than nsiba

Blackking98:

You cant even read and comprehend, I said I have an IBIBIO father, who has his plantations in ekoi land, read and comprehend.

From which LGA in AKS? Because there are no Ibibio LGA in Cross River state, except U want to argue ridiculously that there are like nsiba

pazienza:
Interesting discussions here.
So if I'm following the discussion. Ibibiogirl is saying that Ekpo belongs to Ibibios why Ekpe belongs to Efiks.
So how come many Igbo groups in Abia practice both Ekpe and Ekpo same time.
Looks like they borrowed from Efik and Ibibios at same time. But you have Igbo communities like Ndoki who share no land boundaries with Cross River, practicing Ekpe, even though they only share boundaries with Ibibios and Annangs.
I have always thought they copied the Ekpe from their Akwa Ibom neighbours, but if it turns true that akwa ibom don't practice Ekpe, except for Oron, then it opens up a whole lots of unanswered questions.

Offcos that's what I have been saying since 2011, I already said that HERE https://www.nairaland.com/609355/whats-major-differance-igbo-people

ibibiogrl:

Like I said earlier U can keep on believing whatever gives U a self esteem. I never heard about aro-ibibio war or Aro, all Igbos are the same to us, there was & never will be any special Igbo group with a special name.
  I only read on this website about Aro-ibibio war , but never heard an ibibio account before, infact I thought the whole thing was made up until I recently heard from a traditional ibibio language movie producer, that he might produce a movie about a little border dispute war that took place in a small village.
U claimed victory yet you all are still licking your wounds 400yrs(according to U) later!
All these links U're posting is all made up and a 1-sided account, by your  aro-groups. There is no Ibibio account, but judging from us rarely talking about it means its not huge as it is to u guys. I could easily create a page in wikipedia & make up a story saying Ibibio this that etc.
 
The Ibin Ukpabi U're talking about is what Ezeagu claimed to have adopted from Us, U borrowed fattening rooms, Ekpe, dance style, dressing even cannibalism yet U claimed to have been in Charge?

Nigeria was colonized by British that's why we speak English, but British don't speak a Nigerian dialect or practice a Nigerian culture.
So now do the maths; it's U all who have been influenced and are proudly practicing borrowed cultures from Ibibios, Efiks and Annangs. Who were really Charge?

nsiba:

It is quiet easy to see you don't know what is Ekpe, even some families get to know there father belonged to this cult during burial, there is no chief in Itu/Ibiono and the offot clan in Uyo that is not a member.
If it is ceremonial pictures you want to see you will never get it you think before they come out to the public do you know what is done b4 then
Plz don't be offended there is a limit I want to discuss this Ekpe thing any other I am open but you can do well to know more about ITU/Ibiono especially riverine areas
I can give relevant pics only to emails n not for public consumption

Seems U are just arguing for arguement sake so I have no time to waste with U again. U keep making Ridiculous embarassing statements
Offot that is my clan also I am from a Royal family, my grandfather was the chief & pass it down to my dads eldest brother who died in 2005 & pass it down to his eldest son who died last yr. Again U are confusing Ekpo with Ekpe. Ekpe has nothing to do with Ibibios U are right and should not be discussing what U know absolutely nothing about

nsiba:

You need to get your facts right about who the Uruan people are they never borrowed anything from the efiks.
You think calabar belongs to the efik, who then are the Quas and Efuts
?
Let me put it plain to you Efiks are Uruan they only thing that made them what they are the Europeans they came in contact first before any other group. Some aggrieved lots of Uruan people left present Uruan and settled at the coast lines across the river Atakpor
The Quas and Efuts dominates the mainland, there is no coastal towns in ITU, Calabar etc where the wives of the Europeans didn't put on the Victorian dress we now call the onyo-yon it is a dress you will see at d bottom of my aunties boxes and nothing new to us
Your knowledge of history is good but sincerely you still need very deep and detailed one as I can see you need more information

Did u check the location & villages of all those brides that I posted So they just went to get married in foreign villages while performing foreign traditions All those were Ibiono, Itu and Uruan brides. Why not follow the links to their profiles and asked them why they were pretending or getting married in Ibibio traditions All through nairaland have U Read anywhere about Uruan denying about being Ibibio and claiming to be Efik
What about Oron who never stayed in Uruan but have the exact same tradition and cultures as Efik, even till today their lands is still the closest neighboring land in Akwa Ibom state to Efiklands with only water separating them. If Efik are truly Uruan people how are the almost the same as Oron with only dialectical difference

nsiba:

Have you been to the main ITU? Yes or No
Do you know Mary slessor general hospital? Yes or no
If you don't know certain things is no harm but by trying to prove what you don't know you end up being insensitive to some people and their heritage
She is married to an annang man

U sound like a toddler what a waste of my time again what has Mary Slessor a white scottish missonary got to do with the ethnic groups in Nigeria Just because she has museum and burial site in Cross River state and Itu means that Itu has now become Efik What about the Igbo villages(Arochukwu) that she taught? Did they also become Efik https://www.wholesomewords.org/missions/bioslessor10.html

Blackking98:
Lol you like doing like u know it all. Are you still insisting Akwa Ibom has nothing to do with nsibidi? You have vast knowledge of our culture but you simply can't know it all my dear. I'm ibibio with an Efik mother, my father has plantations in akampa which is ekoi/ejagahm territory and so I believe I'm more in a better position to tell you this one.

I never said nsibidi has nothing to do with Akwa Ibom, offcause those that practice Ekpe like Oron & some Uruan will use nsibidi. If your mom is Efik and your father has plantations in Akampa Ejagham, How are U then Ibibio
Seems you're completely raised in Cross River state cultures and traditions which is what I guessed initially, meaning U dont know much about typical AKS traditions. How can u then tell me a 100% ibibio about my culture.

nsiba:

I don't need to prove that to you it is very easy, go down to where I asked you since you are into research....
You never heard of what the Ekpo cult did to the Elderly Ekpe cult society when they were presiding over a case involving the Ekpo cult and the police at the Itam clan head palace
2001 were in Akwa ibom and tell me do Ekpe cult group come out in the open like Ekpo?
Mary Slessor was their greatest threat that is why you would have known Ekpe cult group and why the women feared and hated them. We know the head of both cult in our locality
Odukapani is next door to ITU Akampa is not close

Alright I confused Odukpani with Akampa becos they're both related to Ejagham. Like I said you are confusing Ekpo masquerade secret society with Ekpe secret cult society. What you're saying above mixing those two together is Ridiculous It's just like U saying that an Ekpo masquerade from Ikono went to control & block a Masquerade in Abia state EKPE is Completely different Cult than Ekpo, there are different types of Ekpo in Akwa Ibom state depending on the villages. EKPE is much more sacred than Ekpo, and plays an authority with traditional rulers in Cross River state and Oron. Why didn't U post links and proves, including pictures to back of your Claims of Ekpe ceremonies that was conducted in Itu and Ibiono villages

nsiba:
The lady you see is a well known female lawyer in Akwa ibom( Ibibio/itu)the pics you see is the onyo-yon she wore on her traditional marriage thou this event was for something else
It is something that is not uncommon both in ITU/ibiono

Have you stop to think that she might have married an Efik or Oron husband Or maybe her mom is from Cross River state Tell me her name and I will confirm that to you,
Please I can show U 100s of Ibiono and Itu brides, am from Uyo and therefore have many cousins from Itam in Itu close to Uyo, so I know what am talking about personally.
Another ITU bride;https://www.instagram.com/p/Br9gC--HM1g/

You really need to do a well detailed research findings on this cause you are absolutely wrong and the Efik speaking people in Itu would consider this an insult
These are people that have held chairmanship, vice chairmanship and other political positions in ITU and as well are staff at the LG secretariat...
Have you been to Itu, the main Itu?
Take your time and visit Mary slessor General hospital ITU and the villages around?
How many clans do you think are in ITU?
Check the numbers of wards in IT

Maybe those people speak Efik as a 2nd language like most adult who grew up when AKS was still part of Cross River state, but am sure their 1st language & tradition is Ibibio.
Here are more Itu people, how are the dress like https://www.instagram.com/explore/locations/1013201251/itu-nigeria/

You really don't attend real and live traditional marriages, those pictures depicts nothing
Attend any Uruan, Itu, ibiono traditional marriages and tell me if the maidens dress (Onyo-yon) is something strange to them, some tribes in Rivers state also use it for ceremonial functions
Attend any Uruan traditional marriage and tell me the differnces with that u call Efik
I can send u pics but only to ur email not 4public consumption

So whwere did U think I got these pictures from, if I don't atted traditional marriages https://www.nairaland.com/478074/post-pictures-traditional-weddings/16
Some of those marriages was done in Itu, not to talk about Ibiono example;

Uruan is the only Ibibio LGA who adopted many Cultures from Efik that wear Onyoyo, but most Uruan brides dress like other ibibios E.g.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Z4KnJMgv9Y That's an Uruan bride.
More Uruan brides; https://www.instagram.com/p/2qiquIDnlT/
