WELL,i have two opinion about the topic..
1. the europeans with there american backers help destabilized north africa and the middle-east,which is why they must take in those refugees they bombed out of their houses in the first instance.
2. alot of those migrants are from relatively safe countries like nigeria and gambia,for those the lack of solid and good job and entrepreneur environment and corrupt government are to blame.

Have you ever visited Cross River State in Nigeria? If not, you should do so soon because the state is filled with diverse ethnic groups, beautiful places and amazing people. Today, we’ll be taking a trip down memory lane to understand one of the ethnic groups in this beautiful state, the Efiks. The Efiks are one of Nigeria’s most prevalent and interesting ethnic groups. The people predominantly occupy the south of Cross River State and speak Efik. But before they became the Efiks we know today, they had an origin, traditions and lifestyle – some extinguished but some maintained. Below are some historical facts about them:


ORIGIN: The Efiks are believed to be originally from Uduak Eset (Isangele) in Cameroon before they migrated to Nigeria as far back as 8,000 BC.


ECONOMY: Although their economy was originally based on fishing, they quickly developed into a major trading region, trading slaves and agricultural products like palm oil, cassava, yam etc. in exchange for European manufactured goods in the 17th to 19th
century.


LANGUAGE: Efik was one of the earliest Nigerian languages,with the original orthography devised in 1812, by King Eyo Nsa Honesty. In 1860, it was one of the first three Nigerian languages to be codified with its own orthography and grammar. In 1862, Efik language was the first Nigerian language used in translating the Holy Bible (New Testament) and in 1868, the translations of Old Testament was completed.


EDUCATION: The Efik and indeed the people of the Old Calabar Kingdom were the first to embrace western education in Nigeria, with the establishment of Hope Waddel Training Institute, Calabar in 1895 and the Methodist Boys High School, Oron in 1905.


TRADITION: The Efik had interesting traditions with one of them being the Fattening Room practice. Here, virgins were overfed, massaged and made to sleep for long periods to become the perfect, robust bride. A modified version is still practiced today. Men also belonged to the secret society, Ekpe which was named after a forest spirit. Members were the guardians of the peace and the messengers of the ancestors. Their activities included making laws and punishing offenders. The teachings of Calabar’s first Missionary School thankfully brought an end to the group’s additional activity of human sacrifice. Another tradition that was fortunately brought to an end was the belief that twins were a disgrace to Abasi (God). It was thought to be evil for a woman to give birth to twins, the twins were taken and left for dead in the forest.

Obeah is an Igbo word, Obia, it means sciences.

"Obeah (sometimes spelled Obi, Obea, or Obia),[1] is a term used in the West Indies to refer to folk magic, sorcery, and religious practices developed among West African slaves, specifically of Igbo origin."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obeah

Okra is an Igbo word, which means that Igbo speakers were probably most identified with it, besides that, the question was about linguistic evidence and okra is just one word along with Eboe Drum, Red bone, and so on.

"The origin of the word junkanoo is rather obscure. Douglas Chambers, professor of African studies at the University of Southern Mississippi, suggests a possible Igbo origin from the Igbo yam deity Njoku Ji referencing festivities in time for the new yam festival. Chambers also suggests a link with the Igbo okonko masking tradition of southern Igboland which feature horned maskers and other masked characters in similar style to jonkonnu masks. Many of the colonies Jonkonnu was prominent, Bahamas, Jamaica, Virginia, had a relatively high percentage of Igbo people among the enslaved African population. Similarities with the Yoruba Egungun festivals have also been made."
