am proud of the efik, mean while what will happen to ORO people that migrated out from efik. Cos Akwa Ibom they are cheating them badly. Should they go to where they came from.

I have always felt they shouldn't have been separated but I heard it was due to the river dividing Oron more to Akwa Ibom. I think they should try to become a part of Cross River or an island of Cross River State atleast

gsparks01:
are there no Efik speaking ppl in Akwa Ibom??

No There are none, but there are Efik 2nd speakers like Oron who are a sub-group of Efik & share cultures with Efik. Also Uruan who are Ibibios but share some history with Efik & pratice some Efik cultures.

mmsen:


Just curious, what is the difference between Annang and Ibibio?

The language sounds similar, the customs are similar so where is the difference?

Here are the differences between Efik, Annang & Ibibio

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;

Ikpa, Ibibio ke afo wed ado idogo Efuk. There are differences in their semantics and pronunciations.

SO SORRY I CALL THEM LOST SOULS BRO... MY UNCLE IS FROM THERE AND ELELE TO BE PRISCISE

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.

ANNANG ALSO DIFFERS THE SAME
Like I said it's not the same as you who denied your selves just because of dialectical differences.

Paentera: Rossike....can you kindly create a facebook fan page or better still, a website to chronicle these activities and categorise them by state and whether they are public or private. Going back and forth here with the pictures can be a bore and Facebook does have the facility to host as many images as you wish. I would be glad to invite many of my friends to like the fan page. You can also create a twitter handle to inform followers of updated images e.t.c.

Once you have created this, kindly put up the link on the first post so those clicking on the page can join the fan page.

Like Nairaland on facebook, so u can share links of topics like this with your friends. I Just re-shared this link on my facebook page. U can also copy this link and post it on your page.

  Which part is the same? I haven't heard of "insult" list escept in Akwa Ibom. namywedding even have comparisons and listed Ibibio & Igbo to be the top 2 most expensive. http://www.namywedding.com/articles/44-ibibio-traditional-wedding

Comparing Igbo and Ibibio list:- http://www.namywedding.com/articles/90-battle-of-the-tribes-igbo-vs-ibibio-traditional-marriage-list-traditional-marriage-series

@jayyem

hello house,i believe everybody is right to an extent,but as of every tradition,some people are well enlightened more than the other,it used to be like that which i do confirmed from my igbo friends but notwithstanding,some people will still try to be greedy
Igbo own is still even much more better,when we calculated the list they gave my cousin that married an akwa-ibom,it was over a million naira,but after so many negotiations they actually reduced their demands.

    U're very right Igbo's own is cheaper compared to Akwa Ibom, also if the bride is pregnant or have children before the list is fullfilled in Akwa Ibom. The groom will pay more including a separate insult goat & gifts for that "Insult!" .
