For those of us that are yet to distinguish between the Efiks in cross river(Calabar) and the Ibibios (akwaibomites), here is another chance for you...

The Efiks are minute in terms of population but varse and influential in the affairs of cross river state.
Outside the boarder line of the state, you will count one efik(Calabar)man in every fifty Ibibios(akwaibomites) you see in other states.
You can hardly tell if an efik man is poor or not because of thier life style. They are contented whether they have little or not.

One of the odd things about them is that they don't believe in working too hard or enslaving themselves for another man to make ends meet. There is this adage in them that says" Efik edi mbakara". meaning, "Efiks are white people". Not that I dislike the later but, the former have a clean sheet. You will hardly find them in black books. Anybody from any state can commit crime though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
For the Ibibios (akwaibomites), no doubt are hard working sets of people. You will find them in all spheres of life.

Some of them have made great impact in life. They are prepared to do anything for money. Akwaibomites even find it difficult to withdraw from Calabar, despite the fact that akwaibom state boasts of infrastructural facilities and even more developed than cross river state.

most of the feloneus[color=#006600][/color] crimes, ranging from kidnapping, arm robbery, burglary, or house boy stole from master is being perpetrated by akwaibomites. The records are there in the police stations. police officers or some civilians will even attest to that.

One of the main reasons the Efiks(Calabar) disassociated themselves from the ibibios(akwaibomites) is because of thier criminal nature and when caught, they claim to come from Calabar.

The good thing is that, Nigerians are beginning to know the difference between these two.

ok

This is a stupid topic.

Do you know that calabar's former name was called AKWA AKPA before it was changed by one white man? Meaning they're the same people.

Do you know that the efiks do not have the population to fill in their civil service when Gershom basset becomes governor and are going to employ the Ibibios to fill in those vacancies.

What is stopping the efiks from having their own children.

Do you know that northern cross River have colonized the Efiks as we speak? How the efiks is going to break free from that slavery is a story for another day.

OP stop your hate and start working towards reconciliation with Ibibios.


An old man who worked in calabar told me that in the 1970's the efiks had been singing ibibio people should go home, now that they've gone. Have you noticed who is getting it better.
