Allstrasse:


Bros you wrote a lot of nonsense there. But then I could forgive your balderdash as this is symptomatic of the typical local American who does not see the world beyond the prism of the continental USA. You displayed a lot of ignorance there and this is actually a function of reading the wrong history.

For your unbiased education (and for the greater benefit of the entire readership here)I would like to point out just a few things;

The Ibibios are a full fledged ethnic group. They have their own distinct language.

Calabar is a geographical location. A contraption created and named during the colonial era. the location is originally occupied by three distinct ethnic nationalities; the Efiks, the Qua and the Efut. A little far off we have the Ekoi and then the Bekwarras and the Ejaghams. All these people speak distinct languages. There is a rather derogatory name (Atam) that is used uniformly for all groups from northern Cross River though and it has no bearing whatsoever.

The Annangs can trace their genealogy to the same source with the Ibibios but they have become a rather strong and homogeneous entity, likewise the Oro nation who populate the Oron, Urue Ofong, Mbo and Okobo among some other local government areas. They have their own distinct dialect. Please note that while the average Oron person can understand and probably speak Ibibio language but the Ibibio man may not necessarily understand the Oron dialect even when he listens hard enough.

If a Qua man speaks an Efik man cannot understand him.

These boundaries do exist but not in cast in stone many are wont to believe. And yet the distinctions are nonetheless very distinct. This is largely an atomistic society.

That the Ibibios are the 4th largest ethnic group has never been in doubt. I would like to add that with or without the addition/inclusion of the Efiks, Annangs, Orons etc, they would still pass for the 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria.


I was waiting for this. Thank you, don't mind that American born historian.

Culture / Combating Fire Outbreak by Vabasi(m): 12:15pm On Oct 30, 2019
With the current incessant fire outbreak especially in the East and other part of the country, I opine as follows:
• The Fire Service department should be equipped and always be on alert in case of any inferno.
• They should respond quickly and swing into action immediately a call is made to them in order to reduce the level of damage by the fire.
• Shopping complexes, Organizations, Agencies, Churches, Schools, Offices, etc., should possess fire extinguishers.
• Vehicles too, both private and public, should endeavour to have in their cars fire extinguishers.
• Call the services of Fire Service immediately in case of any outbreak and in a situation whereby your effort to put out fire proofs abortive.
• Appropriate measures should be put in place by government and individuals to help combat this mishap, as such reduce the rate of damages of properties and lost of life.
