I think the mix up has to do with the fact that for years the Super Eagles played their games in Calabar. At least NTA didn't claim "Uyo, Cross River".

Doesn't matter whether it's Uyo or Calabar, they are still two of the best cities in Nigeria.

NTA should be sold and the money should be used to buy Current affairs pamflet for the mumu directors and editors of NTA and the remaining change should be used to buy beer for the gods of Akwa Ibom

Its appalling that presenters of today dont do research before their presentation, small details like correct pronunciation of names and places , basic history of a place and culture ought to be covered.
All these copy and paste presenters of today ; listening to them reduces one's iq.
Mis~informants.

This is one of the problems with anambra man, they always feel that they are superior to others, even their fellow Igbo's. There will never be a united Igbo with anambra in it.

Akwa Ibom does not speak Calabar language. Calabar (Cross River State) speaks Efik while Akwa Ibom majorly speaks Ibibio. Yes, some part of Akwa Ibom does speak Efik but the major language is Ibibio.
On point.
Though the only part of Akwa ibom that speaks efik is the Uruan populace which the efik migrated from.

May be because of the believe that akwa ibom speaks calabar language,
There's nothing like Calabar language. Calabar people speaks Efik language while Akwa Ibom people speak Ibibio language. But because of the similarities between the two languages, people in other parts of the country always refer to Akwa Ibom language(Ibibio) as Calabar language and Akwa Ibom people as Calabar people. This is seriously annoying.

It is only the parts of Akwa Ibom that is close to Cross River that partially speaks Efik and that is normal and understandable.
Akwa Ibom also have many other languages that the entire Cross River doesn't understand, while Cross River also have some ethnic groups that speaks languages that no part of Akwa Ibom can understand.
They are two completely different states just like Delta and Anambra. People should take note of this.
