I believe Celestine Ukwu is from Ndokwa in Delta State and not Enugu; he said so in his song "Uso Ndu"; Victor Uwaifo is Ika (which is also in Delta); Morocco Maduka is from Awka; and Eddie Okwedy is from somewhere in Aniocha or Oshimili (Delta). I know that there were also musicians from Imo, Rivers, Abia, and Enugu in this time period but what I believe is that (aside from Mike Ejeagha, the Oriental brothers, the Peacocks, and a few others), most of the prominent musicians were Anambra/Delta based. Nowadays it obviously isn't so. |

Akwa Ibom ethnic groups seem to be more aggressive than their counterparts in Cross River. In the olden days, the Annang (in Ikot Ekpene and Abak) were said to be dangerous because they supposedly killed and ate foreigners, whereas the Efik were generally more hospitable and accommodating. It's also represented in their cultures: the Efik enjoy the peaceful and graceful Ekpe, whereas their rougher Ibibio and Annang cousins craft fearful masks and dance to the thundering tune of the Ekpo. Man, I love the Cross River region... 1 Like |
