Efiks enslaved and sold mostly Ibibios ,some present day Central Cross river, and Igbos from the hinterland who were captured by Arochukwu and sold to Efiks to be sold to the European Merchants. Some Efiks at the bottom of society were also sold by elite Efiks . Efik culture was dominant and more influential. whether most of the slaves were Efiks or not, Efik culture and methods survived in the Americas. I think a good example would be the fact that the English culture survived and thrived in North America even though the English were fewer in number. For example,you would be hard pressed to find a pure English descendant American founder . Most white Americans today are actually German,Dutch ,Irish,Scottish,Italian descendants who adopted English names to fit in , as oppose to the original English whose culture was Dominant though had smaller population. Donald Trump , George Bush, John Kennedy,Hulk Hogan are not English blood like George Washington , Bill Clinton,Abraham Lincoln, or Andrew Jackson. And in the Akwacross area today you can see the same pattern played out as Ibibio and annang adopted original Efik names and methods .names such as Bassey , Essien, Ekanem,Edet, Inyang, Etim, Edem,Ansa,Ekeng,, etc. They were not allowed to adopt some elite Anglo Efik names such as Ironbar, Duke,Henshaw, Hogan,Yellow-duke,Archibong, Effiom, etc. Those names were maintained in small circles and traced to lineage. Don't know if you are right, but sounds interesting 4 Likes 2 Shares |

jjhnja44es:Your hypothesis is utter rubbish. The ibibio nation is a larger group that assimilates the Efik sub group. the ibibio language contains many sub dialect of efik, anang, Oro, eastern obolo, ekid and ibibio. don't make it look as if efik was a dominant culture in old Nigeria. efik was only known because calabar was a capital City then and a port town. as for the names u mentioned as borrowed from efik names, be sure to know that those are typical ibibio names with objective meanings. don't say what u don't know. Akwa cross people are related socio-culturally. 12 Likes |

jjhnja44es:Laughing at your stupidity in the English language saying ibibio means slave in efik language. now I know am talking to a calabar drunk. Anyway ibibio is a dominant group in the always cross setting and more developed but then I don't want to argue with a imp like u. obviously u want something to masturbate to ur unfortunate life. So let me bare it out to u. Calabar is an old receding city filled with crimes and fading tourist sites. Akwa Ibom state on the contrary is moving at a fast pace to become an industrial and commercial hub in West Africa as a whole. wat we have in akwa Ibom state will take ur grammar blowing dunce of a governor 50 years to put in CRS. as for ur blab of saying akwa Ibomites are going to cross river for jobs, I laugh at ur stupidity in French. nobody goes to an old receding city like cross river for jobs except to drink and fvck ashawos and leave immediately. Most cross riverians are running away from that desert land filled with empitiness and criminality in number down here to uyo for better economic prospects. No wonder Calabar people looted the whole town to the last pen during the EndSars protest cos of mass starvation and hunger in the city. I'm sure u're one of those touts. Olodo. 10 Likes |

jjhnja44es: You are a jackass! Ibibios have always dominated the AkwaCross region and beyond. Ibibios dominate what is today Akwa Ibom State, Cross River State and parts of Abia State (Arochukwu). The Ekpe Society is headquartered in Ibiono Ibom LGA, Akwa Ibom State. The Ibibios even dominate Cross River, and the civil service too. You dare not hold positions in Akwa Ibom State as an Efik person but Akwa Ibom decides what becomes of the Efiks and Cross River as a whole. When the 76 oil wells were ceded from Cross Rivers to Akwa Ibom State in 2009, no Efik or Cross Riverian could muzzle it back. In the grand scheme of things, you all have always played second fiddle to the Ibibios. In politics, education, social strata, economics and in the diaspora. Lugard resided in Akwa Ibom, and administrated and Amalgamated Nigeria from there. The Efiks attempt to try to rub shoulders with the Ibibios quickly led to the disintegration of the old Cross River State and spilt to form Akwa Ibom State. Today, the Ibibios are better than Uyo as they always have. The Efiks were renamed Duke and Henshaw by the Europeans because you were slaves. Just like they enslaved most of the Ijaws, washing away their history and names too. Writing alternative facts wouldn't change the history. 5 Likes 1 Share |

powerhouse3: Daka kpong unam ikod ado. Th halfwît thinks he can peddle falsehoods without being challenged when some of us have documented records of these things. Some of us still know the slave houses then, who owned them and where they were raided from. The same Efiks who teamed up with the Oros to fight the Ibibios when the old Cross River State was created and still were overwhelmed? The Efiks were mostly captured as slaves and sold within Opobo Division, much of which is in present day Akwa Ibom State. Dude wants me to show him pictures and records. Featherbrained 'shitorian' he sure is. 7 Likes 1 Share |

DissTroy:see ,let's not go the way of my state is better ,instead let's school op on real undiluted history.. What we have as Ekpe society was a cult for big men then ....which leads to inventory of the popular Nsibidi....the Italian have ceaser cypher... Now Nsibidi was for elite,thier mode of writing ,for people not to decipher , say I want to sell a slave and I gave him a note to give to the buyer without the slave finding out the content of the note .. low ba3....will continue later 5 Likes |
