Na we Ejagham cause this thing. This is the result of “see-finish.” When we fail to value what is ours, and then see others using the same things to prosper, we suddenly start crying.

Now, everybody is laying claim to the Bakor Monoliths, the origin of Ngbe/Ekpe, and Nsibidi. From the Ibibios to the Efiks, to the Igbos (Arochukwu)—even though the renowned Igbo writer Chinua Achebe himself acknowledged the Ejagham as the originators of Nsibidi!

They all chant and sing about Yangbe in their ceremonies, but let’s be clear: Ngbe is an Ejagham word meaning “Leopard.” And there is only one Yangbe stone in the world. Guess where it is? Ejagham land—and I have seen it with my own eyes.

I was speaking with an Efik friend, and he said, “When I yob Ngbe…”, referring to his initiation into Ngbe and I understood him immediately in my Nkem Ejagham language. By “yob Ngbe,” he meant to “join Ngbe.” It’s the same expression we use in my village when talking about joining an age grade: “yob ishek.”

So, this Ibibio woman (link below) needs to stop the insults already. Let me tell you why all our neighbors can trace their origins and wisdom back to Ejagham land: it’s because this is the birthplace of man and the origin of civilization.

Rather than trying to displace or insult the Ejagham, why not take the time to better understand us? By so doing, you will properly trace your roots to the same Ejagham land without causing damage 😂.

When we all recognize that we share the same roots, our redemption will no longer be far off. And believe me, when the rest of the world realizes this truth, they will fear.

But if we keep up this division and unnecessary insults, we’re only doing the oppressors’ work for them. Even my “see-finish” brethren will one day learn to better appreciate what they already have. Until then, it’s up to us to protect our heritage and show the world who we truly are.

The first Adam.

The first Adam.

Our people existed long before Adam.

Interesting read. Civilization may have startedfrom Ejagham where they tried building the tower of Babel and got struck with diverse languages that put confusion among them.

That's why every village there has their own almost distinct language. Confused, they develop pidgin English to help themselves communicate. This two is civilization

Ejagham land is indeed the birthplace of Civilization. The Babel story is just an allegory. We’ll discuss that later, but first let‘s talk about the name Ejagham, because there is where the mystery lies. The name Ejagham can be divided into two parts. The first part is “jag”, a word that is derived form Efik, Ibibio and Ejagham and means to ket go or separate (from a person). An Ejagham person. Will say “yag me ubo”. An Efik person will say “yak mi ubok”. Both expressions translate as “leave my hand“ in English. And by the way the “y” and “j” sounds are user interchangeably by the people in this region. Hence, pronunciation of words like junction can often be heard with the “j” sounding a “y” and vise versa.

Very importantly also (even though they claim the origin is unknown) the English word “jag” is borrowed from these African languages and means: to cut into uneven pieces. The second part “gam” is an old English word for “come”.

So there you have it… Ejagham is the place of the beginning… where the original families of the earth were separated and the point to which they will reunite.

Speaking of Babel, like I said, I see it as one of the many allegories in scripture. Frist, going by the Bible story, my people preexisted Babel and even Adam.
Historically, there are several references to such divisions, separation or scattering. Beginning from Sumer which Sumerian writings say was dispersed by the coming of the Elamites . Interestingly Elam translates as trouble in Ejagham. Can you now see what difference our understanding of Ejagham brings to contemporary history and even scriptures?

And as for the God of the Babel story who was afraid or intimidated by man’s growth and ascension and scattered the people… or the God of Eden who forbade knowledge and drove them out of the garden for acquiring same… what can I say? And scattering the people seems to be a favorite strategy of his. What is He afraid of? Or were the stories told to us correctly or were they misinterpreted (whether deliberately or ignorantly)?

Honestly, I am almost persuaded to believe everything you put up here until I have to disagree with you where you said the Ejagham preceded the tower of Babel. You really have a touch with history and would be great if supported to dig deep and refine such a fine brain.

God's never afraid of mankind. He knows when and where to strike him whenever he wants to play God or equate with him.

Our people know the Creator, not according to the religious books. According to your Bible, man is just about 6000 years on earth. So what happens to the more than 10 thousand year old pyramids of Egypt? The images of our people are on the pyramids. You will see our wisdom on display in ancient Kemet. And Kemet wasn’t even the earliest civilization. The sooner we agree that we were taught many lies, the quicker our recovery.
