Am Lmfao!! the beat is Ibibio the costume and what the are trying to copy is Ekombi which is Efik culture, talk about coping someone else's tradition and trying hard to own. You don't use "itokrok" in Ekombi if this is what they are trying to copy
Firstly, this is not ibibio dance, except it's from Oron. The Oro people speak Oro, ibibio and Efik, also a part of Itu people of Akwa Ibom state speak Efik due to intermarriage and their proximity to Ikot Offiong. Hence there's bound to be intermingling of Culture, tradition and language. Secondly, it is this division in Nigeria that will not allow us be great. Have we forgotten that Cross River State and Akwa Ibom State use to be one and the same state? Until the now people of Akwa Ibom State were given their own state. If our language, food and names are similar what do you think the culture and dance will look like?
@@GreenhilltalesSorry, Oro people speak Oro and Efik, not Ibibio. Actually, there are people who were originally Efik who are now part of Akwa Ibom State. I'll not go further.
The migration of ibibio from place to place show the have many cultures to display, the ibibio reside at usak edet before their present days they efik claim, so my dear to u all what give them level was The British we were governor's many ibibio that claim efik too is because the eat from the land and many their family did not let them know, because of benefits so my is wrong for efik to compare it self with ibom people.
I couldn't understand your incoherent rants. Ibibio might be whatever they are today because of oil and gas deposit, but you can't compare them to the decent Efik people.
@@Kingsley494 Ibibio people hava always been househelps to the Efiks and other sections of Nigeria. Out of the magnanimous nature of the Efiks, the good ones among the Ibibios were in some cases adopted and have never been discriminated against. Since the creation of Akwa Ibom State, a typical Ibibio person sees himself as Ibibio when something goes well, but whenever something goes wrong he describes himself as "CALABAR MAN." That's the true nature of an Ibibio person. That's why the saying goes, " WHEN YOU SEE A WET IBIBIO MAN, DO NOT PROVIDE HIM FIRE TO WARM HIMSELF, BECAUSE WHEN HIS WET BODY IS DRIED, HE WILL KILL HIS HELPER." With all your acclaimed endowments, you can't do without the Efiks you are insulting and betraying. Ordinarily when did Ibibio start knowing about their history? That never happened until they start concocting some disjointed lies after the creation of Akwa Ibom State. Although I couldn't read the rantings of the major commenter, I still managed to understand his ignorance. Of course his assertion is based on some lies told him by some old folks who want to save their faces for not being able to trace their natural roots. To tell you the truth, Ibibio natural boundary end in Uyo. Any place from ITAM is an Efik natural land to ITU and OKU IBOKU. In case you wonder how. The name ITAM is an Efik man's name, NOT Ibibio's. The name ITU is derived from the water mammal (known in English language as WHALE), which was common in Itu River. I hope you understand that the natural trade of the Efiks is fishing. The reason they will always abandon the mainland for strangers and decide to stay near the riverine areas for proximity to their fishing business. But Ibibio man is has been a peasant farmer. In the case of OKU IBOKU. I will help to school you that the name OKU is and Efik name referring to the CHIEF PRIEST of their ancestral gods, while IBOKU is the title of the Efiks. EFIK IBOKU. Up till now the majority of Efiks after migrating from Oku Iboku, ITAM and ITU to their present permanent abode, they are still known as IBOKU UTAN, which is the present Calabar town and IBOKU ESIT EDIK, made up of those in Western Calabar up to Obot Itu and Eniong. Does it not surprise that the Efiks of Eniong extraction pass through Itu town and beach to get to their hometown? The reason being that that hitherto that territory belonged to the Efiks before the Efiks migrated and the territory illegally occupied by the Ibibio's for want of land space in their natural farmland environments. Even after the creation of Akwa Ibom State, Ibibio people in their usual nature crossed over the CALABAR-ITU Bridge to claim some parts of Odukpani local government, but we're resisted by both the locals and the federal military government. I know if it were during this kind of corrupt civilian rule, they could have had their way, the same way they did to Atabong, Ewang and the rest of Bakassi environment. If not that Akpabuyo was very far from Akwa Ibom State, Ibibio people who were hired as farmworkers could have laid claim to that Efik farming community as their territory. I never thought someone would have them audacity to wake me up to do this today. I can tell you more and more about Ibibio ungrateful and fraudulent character that have made them to still look outwards for help even when God has blessed them with natural and human resources. GOODBYE 👋
Once upon a time were you guys not brothers and sisters? Sharing language, food, names and culture and tradition? Just because geography has placed a land mark called state you join it to segregate and divide. The ibibio are more similar to you than the Atams of northern Cross River whom you share your state with, yet you discriminate against them. To other parts of Nigeria you both are the same yet that's not how you see it. It is this division and segregation that cannot allow Nigeria be great.
@imohjames why even bother explaining, someone that dropped a comment that makes my brain ache is obviously ignorant and unexposed, no level of explanation can change that. 😂
Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰 people love all ur smile 😁 nice steps sending love 💕💕💕💕
Proudly akwa ibom Ibibio. Oro. Anaang
Nice
Sound like Haitian 🇭🇹 folklore music.
Thank you.
Majority of Haiti people were moved from this part of Nigeria. It’s fact and documented.
That was entertaining
This is cross River not Akwa Ibom
Beautiful Damsels displaying their talents goodlooking n nice to watch I love it.
this is not akw Ibom cultural dance
Really? Mr Igbo man, let me explained something to you...
When it's come to cultural dance, efik n Ibibio become one.
You go explain tire, no evidence.

This is Efik people culture from Cross River State Nigeria. Akwa ibom state is culture thief.
