Teacher: Now, you must not say, “I ain’t goin’.” You should say, “I am not going, he is not going; we are not going; they are not going.”
Student: Wow! Ain’t nobody goin’ then?

In strict Efik/Ibibio, we don't have such spelling as some people do in Udoh instead of Udo. How is it pronounced. Uko has to do with bravery and an outstanding performer.

Hot - ofiop in efik, ufiop in ibibio and Afiop in Annang.
Cold - adenghe
Cool and warm ain't really got their own word in our dialect yet so we'll just use the English vocabulary of it.

umoh is somehow more of Annang which is the version of Imoh owo - rich person.
Umoh owo is rich person in Annang.

Effiong is a name after 1 of Efik old market days.(I think Fiongaran or something like that) The female version is Affiong. Same as
Etim and Atim, Edet and Arit, Asuquo and Iquo, etc., the are all names from Efik market days and so the are Efik names, Bassey is also an Efik name which can mean something more detail in Efik, but it's also like Abasi=God. Ebong can means Shout. Never heard of Oduobuk, although Mbuk means News.

Sometimes I wonder if I really can. But then I think to myself, maybe I can't. But if I could, that would be good. Maybe it's all a lie? shocked

Please remove the Efik from the topic. Someone requested earlier and was ignored. 99% of the things here have nothing to do with the Efiks
