The Ibibio people (Pronunciation: /ɪbɪˈbiːəʊ/) are a coastal people in Southern Nigeria.[5] They are mostly found in Akwa Ibom, Cross River State and the Eastern part of Abia State.[6] They are related to the Efik people.[7] During the colonial period in Nigeria, the Ibibio Union asked for recognition by the British as a sovereign nation.[8]
The Annang, Efik, Ekid, Oron and Ibeno share personal names, culture, and traditions with the Ibibio, and speak closely related varieties (dialects) of Ibibio which are more or less mutually intelligible.[9] The Ekpo and Ekpe societies are a significant part of the Ibibio political system.[10] They use a variety of masks to execute social control. Body art plays a major role in Ibibio art.
