All these people, Ime is Ibibio and Ibibio is not igbo.

Ime means Patience,

We are Ibibio, we share culture and language with just the calabar people of cross rive of the efik extraction.. We barely share culture or traditions wit igbo.
We are neighbors with igbo, but brothers with the Efik.
Lets not always subsume ibibio, efik, oron, annang under igbo, its an insult to us..

And udoka is efik your brothers

The guy is saying the truth. I am from akwa ibom. Udoh means second boy in the family they usually follow Akpan. Akwa ibomites add suffixes to that Udoh to suit them. My brother bears Udoete meaning the second father. That Udoka means the second son of his mother.

Mumu Shut the f uck up. There are Igbo communities in akwaibom. You have Ohaobu Ndoki for example. Udoka is an Igbo word whether you agree or not.
Udoka means second son of his mother. Akwa ibomites add suffixes to that word Udoh meaning second son. There is Udosen, Udoete, udofia, udodoh

Dude there are indigenous igbos in Akwa Ibom i do not need to lie and no one is claiming anything. You are leaving the ones in the north who are claiming everything and blaming an igbo man that just wants his business

It’s not that type of claim I am talking about. You people always claim to have indigenes where you have none. Hausa’s don’t claim that. Instead other tribes claim to be Hausa. You don’t force people to be you brov shocked shocked

Stop talking from your arse. He is Igbo.

Udoka is purely an Igbo name.

Bro go sleep.
Sheybe it’s the same way Ifeanyi Adeleke, Nyesom Wike, Julius Agwu etc are Igbo names. Oga does it mean they’re Igbos?

Now go and sin no more.

Congratulations to him and hope he wins the finals but Stephen Curry's Golden State Warriors is something else...

Nigerians are fund of claiming anything/anybody that is successful outside the shores of the country

Failure is indeed an Orphan...!!

Even his sister Mfon had been both captain and official of D’Tigress…
They are PROUD NIGERIANS, and one wonders why some of you want to be ‘ashamed’ on their behalf!

There's nothing like indigenous Igbos in Akwa Ibom. We call them settlers. They own no claim to any of the ancestral heritage of the Akwa Ibom territories they squat in. So, stop this nonsense. Do they have their own laws and government that is recognized by the State? Let this your "Indigenous" rubbish end there. Post your sign post anywhere in Akwa Ibom, like you do all over the South East, and tell me what happens after.

This is the PRIMORDIAL Nigerian mentality in a nutshell (Ife-Modakeke, Zango-Kataf, Jos, etc.)…
You could live and inter-marry together for centuries, and yet some people will regard you as less-than.

What a PRIMITIVE country and people…
Land does NOT germinate human beings, and EVERYONE moved from somewhere at some point. SMH

The NBA Finals starts June 2, as Golden State Warriors welcome the Eastern Champions, Boston Celtics.

The Udokas hail from Etinan LGA of Akwa Ibom State.

Partner, Nia Long reacts;
Akwa Ibom people are exceptionally excelling in their chosen field of endeavours outside this motherfukin country.
