TheSonOfMark:


Ikpa, Ibibio ke afo wed ado idogo Efuk. There are differences in their semantics and pronunciations.

Queenybliss:
indeed "efik EDI mbakara" em proud 2 b a dauta of d soil

It actually should be spelt as 'Efuk' going by the pronunciations.

The distinguishing markers between Efik and Ibibio are diminishing daily and significantly over the years. What we speak now is what I call "Efibibio".

TheSonOfMark:


At least they not use unsuspecting people for rituals like your tribe.

hardbody:


Ufan, se nwetde oro edi ata iko efik. Mekeme ndidomo ukeme ndi wet ibibio, edi ndighe perfect. (I am sure you get my drift), LOL

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.

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.

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:



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.

I have a girlfriend from akwa ibom, but my parents have totally disagreed our union because she hails from a state known for witchcraft. Hence, I ask everyone that are all indigenes of akwa ibom n calabar witches?

TheSonOfMark:


You are of the Ibibio extraction?

'Lucy' is 3.2 million years old and the oldest known human.

Homo sapiens are said to be 195,000 years old.

Your Bible is a book of fairy tales not historical fact.

mmsen:


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.

ezeagu:


They were 'liberal' before Europeans, in fact the Europeans that influenced them, the Victorians, were not liberal at all.
