I disagree with u on the education aspect. Western educattion reached Lagos long before 1895. At least CMS Grammar School would have been like 40 years old before Hope Waddel College was established. Check the dates.i 5 Likes |

Babybeeboi are you not the yemen guy who hates, kill and hang Nigerians? How come you know about efik? The last time I checked Efik is a language spoken in cross-river, and cross-river is a state in Nigeria. You can lie for Africa sha.....Smh. #ProudlyAkwa-Ibomite# |

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 brideThis is also practised in Okrika Kingdom |

Re: 5 Facts You Should Know About The Efik People by mmsen: 5:06pm On May 06, 2015 |
aim5: Those 'English' surnames came about because the English were too lazy to pronounce Efik names properly and also English was the language of trade - so 'Nsa' became Henshaw. |
Re: 5 Facts You Should Know About The Efik People by Nobody: 5:07pm On May 06, 2015 |
aim5: Definitely not Ijaws. The Ijaws of old were timid and generally avoided the white men and vice versa. Another group that dealt largely with the whites was the Itsekiris. |
