Do you just love being stupid on a public forum?

You're the fool here

Let an Annang refute it, if it's a lie

You forget to Mention their Most Important Asset - The Women !!

TheGiftedOne:
Forget Ikot-Ekpene, Akwa Ibom as a whole is lovely.
From the beautiful landscape to their oil deposits.
From their variety of delicacies to their hospitality and tourism industry.
This state is bae.

The capital city boasts of the best stadium in the country, world class mall, main library e t.c.


My dream City to live in this declining country. I love AKIBM .

emapeteum:
IK was developed more than Uyo prio to the creation of the state in 1987 with Uyo made the state capital.TA place where local government administration was first experimenting in the west African subregion by the colionialist.

Yeah we know that

tyav7:
Looks beautiful. People there are really enjoying. I wish I live there.

You are welcome to live and invest here too

durasome:
i don't know if people do change that much,but with my experience there, ikweke afaha obonge will not change that much by now.I was there in the early 90s.Mehn you hear your teacher come and immediately she discovered you are not from there ,you hear stuffs like shaa una dy call us mmoghoo now you don come here,there is nothing you do to impress such teachers especially the female ones. Come to home front you see mature man with children leash dogs on you and derives joy on seeing the dogs after you. because of the level of illiteracy then in that place, your mates had no choice than communicate in their dialect and you will be forced to learn by force, then you will hear their parents scolding them for teaching you saying you have not taught them your own language, and now they can't gossip you again because you now know all their dialect.. There are some good people among them by the way,I remember my congregation Soul lovers Assembly, they where so hospitable.

Stop living in hate. From you post I discovered you are living in Akwa ibom. But you can't say something good about them. Then you will never progress in such vicinity. Do us a favor and tell us your state.

.bitter truth.

I think u are the bitter one. I have been reading ur comment and it is very obvious u are very jealous and bitter abt the great people of that state. I have stayed at Uyo and Eket before, while I have also visited Ikot Ekpene, Ibeno and oron several times. And I can boldly tell u that the people are one most hospitable in Nigeria. I do not know ur tribe but u seem like an insecure person who feels he is better than others even when it is so glaring that they are better than u. I am from one of the states in the south south and the development here is far better than that of my state.

100Caliber:
These are Calabar dancers ,not Ikot Ekpene. First pic is Calabar festival or parade in UK. You talk shit about Calabar but post Efik foods and cultures as Ikot ekpene & Akwa ibom. You envy and mimic Calabar Kingdom which has existed for 1000 years by using the phrase"Akwa abasi Ibom Kingdom" . Even your surname "Ekpe" is Efik name which your grand father stole to commit crime and do houseboy & gate man and then tell people he's from Calabar when caught, and tarnish the name of Calabar..
Did you know 70 percent of the kidnappings and robbery in Calabar and Cross river are by Akwa ibomites who fled Akwa ibom after the crackdown and enactment of death sentence on kidnappers in akwa ibom. Did you know that the scolombo boys causing havoc in Calabar are the abandoned witch children from Akwa ibom who took refuge in Calabar? That's why Akwa ibom is peaceful while exporting heir burden to other states.
When a serious CR governor arrives he'll deport those troublemakers and outsiders ,then Calabar will be peaceful and on track again.
Akwa ibom took Oil wells and now receives 5 times more allocation, even though Cross river is three times larger than Akwa ibom ,and yet thousands of Akwa ibomites living in cross river also benefit from the small allocation. you think it's easy to tolerate that? Try the reverse and tell me how Akwa ibom feels. There's still some private developments here and there going on in Calabar and Cross river,and there are plans for other projects , just not not making too much noise like the Akwa media propaganda. cc thundafire , Garfield , sonoyom , eteka1

You are such a hateful monger, what you don't know and will keep Eluding you is that the Okopusem people (if you know what that means) of both Cross River And Akwa Ibom are brothers form the same parents. hence its very easy for an okpusem person to live and thrive in either state, the culture, lifestyle,food, etc are very similar, some of you think that Efik people only exist in calabar, News flash- there are efiks in Uruan LGA in Akwa ibom, which is actually believed to be the ancestral Efik Homeland, there are Efiks In Itu LGA of Akwa ibom and also Efiks in Mbo LGA of Akwa Ibom ETC. This efiks are indigenous to this areas, Just like there are ibibios and Oron people who are indigenous to Cross river state south. Calabar South LGA has lots of Ibibios who are indigenous to that area.
There are very few Okopusem people in cross river state who don't have families and relations spanning both state and vice versa. The Southern Cross River people have more in common with the people of Akwa Ibom State than they have with the people of Northern and central cross river state of whom they share the state.

Stop the hate and learn your history if you are an Okopusem person, if you are Efik you very likely have an Ibibio blood running in your veins as we speak. but i think you are a northern cross riverian with hate in your heart towards Akwa ibom like your gov. who is hating on Hon. Justice Akon Ikpeme.
but whatever your hate , Akwa Ibom keeps Soaring, your hate cant stop us!
