All you idiots on this thread who keep calling an Akwa Ibom indigene “calabar”, is stupidity a running trait in your generation or do you just choose to be dumb on this issue everytime ?!?😏

The capital of cross river state is Calabar

Akwa Ibom has its capital city in Uyo

That actor hails from Akwa Ibom state


Now tell me what has that got to do with calabar which is in Cross river state?!?!😲


Una mumu no be small


Someone is driving down to this thread to reveal his own Version of foolishness even after my corrections

Na wa o

He’s my cousin’s son. He is not from Akwa Ibom. He is from Adiabo (Ikot Okon) in Odukpani LGA on the outskirts of Calabar. His dad is the Rtd Colonel Moses Effiong who was wrongly accused of being involved in the Mamman Vatsa coup attempt in 1988. His late mum is from Benin. She died in a car accident on her way from visiting her husband in prison in Kano.

He also has an Uncle in Bayelsa, a popular Pastor with the same name, Daniel Etim Effiong.

Mumu boy! A woman once married now belongs to her husband's family and by extension his ethnic group and state

The fact still remains that she is Igbo and her real name is Chimaobi Eke

No matter the list Our LEADER, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu release,
Wailers will always wail, it's their way, it's in their DNAs.
They only look and comment about the negatives,
No positivity in their frustrated and losing lives at all.

Anyways,
There are some silver linings.
The list reflects Nigeria’s diversities.
At 38, Okotete is a refreshing departure from the creeping gerontocracy of the major parties;
Hanatu Musawa, 43,
Bunmi Tunji-Ojo, 41,
and Betta Edu, 36, are also relatively young.

They are all welcome on board to move our Darling country to the nation of our dreams,
To a land flowing with milk and honey.
Nigeria will be great in our lifetime.

From all of us @MANNA,
God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬


Addendum :
Spotlight on one of us @MANNA:

DR BETTA.
OMO BETTER,
One of us @MANNA.



Dr. Betta Edu

Dr. Edu, born on 27th of October 1986, hails from Ibalebo village in Abi local government Area, Cross River State.

Betta completed her secondary education at Federal Government Girls College, Calabar, she is a graduate of medicine and surgery from the University of Calabar.

She is a Harvard certified, Fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health, United Kingdom, and untill recently, the Cross River State Commissioner for Health and National Chairman of Nigeria Health Commissioners Forum.

In 2022, she emerged as the youngest female to become the National Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress.

Welcome on board to a progressive Naija Dr Betta..........
Wailers can wail as long as they want........

She is not from Cross River State. She is Igbo. Her name as a student at FGGC Calabar was Chimaobim Eke. Her husband Mr Edu is the one from Abi LGA in Cross River State. She only started calling herself Betta recently. Her dad’s name is Pastor Emmanuel Eke, a well known Igbo clergyman at Atimbo in Calabar.

In the UK Seretide is also very expensive. It costs around £33 (N46,000).

Ask your Doctor to prescribe Fostair (Nexthaler) for you. It is similar to Fostair in strength and more pocket friendly.

Regarding the N2m a month salary threshold, that is just £1,530 a month . You can easily double that money in the UK within a year of arriving.

It’s worth the opportunity cost in the long run.

The letter from the UK based Training provider addressed the letter to the British High Commission as Consoler General instead of Consular General. That’s a serious red flag to me as an Entry Clearance Officer

Update. Roof and window now installed

Why didn’t they send their Carrier Strike Group to Ukraine to deter Russian illegal occupation and bombardment?

Hamas will drop one cheap drone on that Ship, they have nothing to lose

@Wanaj0

Greetings! Long time.

Are you able to show the Floor plan to enable me to know the layout please?

Thank you

🟪 Good morning everyone. What’s the best way to get access to the proposed Dangote Food shares, is it through investing in Dangote Sugar or NASCON?

Many thanks

YOU'RE BACK!!!

OMG!
Unemployment, bankruptcy and divorce I can relate with.

But cancer?! Wow.
You lived to tell it, and I thank God for you. You're a tough nut!
I rejoice with you, and I hope the cancer is in complete remission.

I occasionally visit this thread to see if there's any update, and I'm helluva ecstatic you're back.
Take it one day at a time, bro. You've won, and you will keep winning 💪💪💪♥️

Thanks whirlwind7. It was prostate cancer. If you are 45yrs + male please go and get a PSA blood test done. One in four Black men have the potential to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Early detection is a lifesaver

🟪 Update: 21/04/2023

Does anyone know the price cost for a Thunder arrestor/Cable (used in the roof)?

🟪Update

This is the latest update regarding the building project which I started in January 2015. I promised that I’ll use only my salary to fund it and wouldn’t resort to any borrowing from the Banks or credit providers.

I should have completed the project around 3yrs ago but life happened.

I went through
◾️Unemployment
◾️Bankruptcy
◾️Divorce
◾️Cancer treatment

All these challenges slowed down the building project but I’ve now rebounded from adversity by God’s grace.

I should finish the tile roofing by the end of this week. That cost me N4m.

I’ll be sharing picture updates here.

A recap: My plot in Calabar is 150x100 and an extra 50x50 added to the plot.

Asides TradingView and Investing dot com, what other tools / software do you use in tracking your Nigerian stocks?

Bloomberg. Proshare Nigeria has some tools but you need to subscribe to them first

This is exactly the same as INSME

Long time

DissTroy:
I already stated it and have written on Nsibidi over the course of my time on this forum and on other fora.

The Ekpe cult is typically in Ibiono Ibom LGA of Akwa Ibom State. The Ekpe cult members were and still are the custodians of the Nsibidi form of writing which is similar to Hieroglyphics when analyzed.

One of main headquarters of slavetrade was along the shore of the Ibeno-Ikot Abasi area and Efik slaves along with slaves from the hinterlands where he Annangs and hinterland Ibibios reside.

About Akwa Ibom (chiefly Ibibios) being better than and dominating Cross River (sparsely Efiks) in ways I have mentioned in my preceding post: It's stating the obvious. Culturally and historically, the Ibibios have always dominated the Efiks and her neighbours. It has continued even till this day. Heck! Even the first civilian governor of Cross River State was an Ibibio man (Clement Isong).

The OP trying to hoodwink the reading public with false tales of 'never-was' had to be challenged. And asides ridiculing him here, my earlier dare still stands: We should both compare valid notes, records (including pictorial evidence) about the dominance or not of the Ibibios in the AkwaCross region.

Don't stoke embers of seething hatred with firewood of falsehoods.

If you claim that the Ekpe cult is of Ibiono Ibom origin can you kindly mention how many Ekpe grades the Efe Ekpe ( if any ) at Ibiono Ibom they have and whom they were purchased from?

The only Ekpe lodge in Akwa Ibom is at Ekpe Efe Ekomo at Uyo, at Itu and at Oron. This can be confirmed from the recent UNESCO field work study into the curation of the Ekpe institution in the Cross River region and Cameroon.

The Efiks are much fewer in number than the Ibibio’s ( by even a ratio of 1:12) but by fortitude of their location by the River side came into contact with the British traders/Supercargoes who established trading relationships with the Efik chiefs during the slave trade era.

Most of the slaves taken away were Ibibio’s and Igbo’s (and Efik indigenes who were being punished). As a result of the trading relationship the Efik culture and language became the dominant language in the area.

The orthography for Efik language was written in 1876. The orthography for Ibibio was written in 1982 by Prof Okon Esien. Until now in Akwa Ibom the Bible being used in churches there is the Efik Bible. Even Prophesy in Akwa Ibom churches is done in Efik language. This is the result of long lasting influence of cultural assimilation of the Efik by the Ibibio’s.

Can you kindly mention one single cultural and historical influence Ibibio’s have on the Efik?

You copied and assimilated our Efik names, dance, wedding costumes, food and language.

Historically, what is the oldest secondary school or hospital or building in Akwa Ibom State? When did you start having Christian churches in Akwa Ibom?

You mentioned Gov Clement Isong, he’s got nothing to do with the discussion. I’m sure you were not old enough to see him or even Gov U.J.Esuene.

Ibibio's are much more in numerical strength than the Efik, that had always been the case since the first general election in Nigeria in 1923 when they were only 4 Federal Legislative Seats in Nigeria. 3 Seats were allocated to Lagos and 1 was given to Calabar under the 1922 Cliffords constitution.

Let’s move on and not distort history or try to claim ethnic superiority over each other. If you are in doubt read up on history books by E.U.Aye, Rev Hugh Goldie, Dr K.K. Nair, A.T.H. Latham, Percy Talbot, Prof Monday Noah, Prof Abasiattai, Prof Okon Uya, Prof Afigbo, et al

Attakwu101:
Efiks enslaved and sold mostly Ibibios ,some present day Central Cross river, and Igbos from the hinterland who were captured by Arochukwu and sold to Efiks to be sold to the European Merchants. Some Efiks at the bottom of society were also sold by elite Efiks .
Efik culture was dominant and more influential. whether most of the slaves were Efiks or not, Efik culture and methods survived in the Americas.

I think a good example would be the fact that the English culture survived and thrived in North America even though the English were fewer in number. For example,you would be hard pressed to find a pure English descendant American founder . Most white Americans today are actually German,Dutch ,Irish,Scottish,Italian descendants who adopted English names to fit in , as oppose to the original English whose culture was Dominant though had smaller population. Donald Trump , George Bush, John Kennedy,Hulk Hogan are not English blood like George Washington , Bill Clinton,Abraham Lincoln, or Andrew Jackson.
And in the Akwacross area today you can see the same pattern played out as Ibibio and annang adopted original Efik names and methods .names such as Bassey , Essien, Ekanem,Edet, Inyang, Etim, Edem,Ansa,Ekeng,, etc. They were not allowed to adopt some elite Anglo Efik names such as Ironbar, Duke,Henshaw, Hogan,Yellow-duke,Archibong, Effiom, etc. Those names were maintained in small circles and traced to lineage.


Don't know if you are right, but sounds interesting

He’s right
