Talk:Efik people

Untitled

I added a context tag because even after reading the articles Annang and Ibibio, it is still not clear what Efik is. —Brim 00:28, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Egyptian Jews ?!?

he Efik are related to the Annang, the Ibibio, Oron, Eket and Ikom people by common ancestors. Their ancestors were Egyptian Jews from mixed marriage of Israelites and Egyptians who migrated from Egypts through Ethiopia and Sudan into their land in Nigeria via Ghana and Cameroon. Anothers say their land was the original Garden of Eden (see African Jews, and Calabar Kingdom)

This quote is pretty hard to believe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.26.53 (talk) 01:41, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Picture questioned

I am not at all sure that the current (23 Sept. 2008) picture of Shirley Bassey is an appropriate illustration of an article on the Efik. --Bejnar (talk) 17:23, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Photo -> Wax model -> Shirley Bassey -> Father -> Efik descent -> Efik - could that be more tenuous?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.182.51 (talk) 16:01, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Duke Town

On 27 July, 2013, IP editor 68.143.166.10 added: This was also where the Duke made his residence on his first official visit to the area, hence the name "Duke Town". with a citation to Lenox, K.D. (2013). Duke-Town, Old Calabar. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any book entitled Duke-Town, Old Calabar nor any by Lenox, K.D. Nor did I find a journal article so entitled. It is unclear to whom the Duke refers. Also, this bit of information, if verifiable, belongs in the Akwa Akpa article and not here. For those reasons, I have removed the addition. --Bejnar (talk) 14:22, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

The need for a page on Efik religion

It is necessary that a page on Efịk religion be formed. This is not affiliated with Efịk mythology. Mythology and Religion are various topics and if both topics in certain cultures are followed, one will discover a distinction between both mythology and religion. Efịk mythology revolves around the myths of the Efịk while Efịk religion focuses on the traditional religion of the Efịk people. --osamudiame (talk) 16:42, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

It is definitely necessary that Efik religion page be formed and created.The Efik religion is not similar to it's mythology as there are differences in the two.

The Efik religions is focused totally on the daily religious life of an Efik man and how it's being practice towards thier God(s) meanwhile the Efik mythology is associated with the traditional belief and myth that associates with the creation of man and the myth that follows the origin of God.
