Please note that Akwa Ibom and Calabar are not south-east but south-south!

This is a typical face of Efik-Ibibio man. God bless my region and Nigeria in general.

That's more of an Ibibio face.

Nice but what is the difference between them??

Like I've heard people classifying Efik/Ibibio as one and I've also heard Efik/Urhobo as one too.

Do they speak the same language or....
EFIKS CAN BE FOUND MAINLY IN CALABAR,

IBIBIOS ARE FROM AKWA IBOM, BUT U CAN STILL FIND LARGE NUMBERS OF THEM IN CALABAR, IF U CAN SPEAK IBIBIO U CAN AS WELL UNDERSTAND EFIK. THE LANGUAGE ARE SO SIMILAR BUT WITH SMALL ADJUSTMENT.

MAYBE BECAUSE AKWA IBOM AND CROSS RIVER STATE WERE ONE BEFORE STATE CREATION.

Observing ethnic and racial facial variations is an interest of mine plus I've been around Efik and Ibibio people long enough to tell the difference wink

Everyone claiming to be of Jewish origin

Do people even read history at all grin

Trying to claim as factual something that is a myth

Africans and inferiority complex.
All indigenous African tribes originated from Africa,
there is plenty of DNA evidence to support this.

The middle east origin like most biblical stories
are pure jewish myths.

Do you know there are 250 stories in the 7 continents about a flood very similar to Noah's biblical account.

There even accounts about how languages originated very similar to the Babel accounts.

Its uncanny.

No myths here. The bible truly is the Word of God.

Don't let anyone deceive you, always ask questions!

There could even be a million flood stories, it is the same
thing as asking people whether rain has ever fallen on their
roof or if they have ever seen the sun, the answer is obvious.

Languages develop from isolated group of people, any other
story is just massaging the jewish myth-writers' ego.

Humans have been in existence for thousands of years
before the jews learned how to write!
Africa has its own history but the obsession with anything
foreign is making us distort our history just to fit in with the jewish
supremacy bulshit.

If I took a good look at you, I would guess so. Your complexion being dark with a (seemingly) cool undertone, more prevalent among Yorubas, rather than a warm undertone (Igbo/ Ibibio) might make my facial analysis a little tougher. But your mouth area is a giveaway.

Teetotaler:
Can they be found in Calabar only?
What of Akwa ibom?
Who are their closest neighbours?, the iron or Ibibio?
Do they share language similarities with any of their neighbours and lastly Can they really be found in the South East? If so which part of the South East?
and Lastly, did the Mod push this the FP, or is it automatic /paid advert?
Thanks in advance.
