What of Etukudo small udo (third son)?

As in J S Etukudo whose wonderful Bookkeeping I studied in the East


OP what of these ones

Iquo
Inyang
Obot
Ekong
Arit?

First of all @OP all the names u started above are all Ibibio names and None is Efik, so correct yourself
secondly
Iquo - Song
Inyang _ River
Obot - Mountain
Ekong - War
Arit? Dunno Efik version of Harriet i guess

Thirdly there is a wide difference between ibibio and Efik, Ibibio is Akwaibom ooo,
Efik is Calabar,Cross river.

Just so you know the difference, someone will mention oh Imaobong dat calabar girl, Imaobong is Akwaibom.

i rest my case
