Congratulations for this work. We have a festival in Cameroon which celebrates the Ndop cloth of the grassfield people of Cameroon. We will also like to have Pr Ivor Miller with us one day.
There's a lot about Ngbe (Ngoe - Leopard), which the Nigerian Efiks, Ibibios, etc, call Ekpe, to know about. If you really want to know more, please go to Cameroon among the Oroko people (Balondo, Batanga, Ngolo, Balue, Bakundu, etc). Nsibidi comes directly from the Oroko term: njibidi or njibiri, meaning "aggressive". Ukara itself may have roots in the Oroko verb "kara", meaning "to surpass". The title Seseku derives from two Oroko words: sese (Lord) and ku (tortoise). Seseku means Wise Lord. The female wing of the Ekpe is called "Ebongo".
I am so proud of listening this. I do not belong to the Ejagham 🇨🇲 .but I am from Bamileke tribe. We do have almost the same traditional attire...thanks chiefs for these knowledge
You people kept talking about Cameroon but the man told you about where he encountered it. I am Arochukwu and this is our prestige society. You have to be of a certain age to be thought the insibili in Arochukwu. Meanwhile Ekpe can be be initiated to a new born if the father is of a noblemen
@@munaike3622 No, I am an Igbo person but Nsibidi is an Ejagham ideogram not Igbo. Ejagham people, ibibio, Efik etc formed alliance with the Igbo dominated Aro Confederacy. Nsibidi was used as a means of Communication during the invasion of the Confederacy by the British. Ejagham, Ibibio, Efik ect were part of the old Kwarafara Confederacy before the invasion of the Fulani Jihad of 1804.
U want to claim what does not belong to you. U think nsibidi are only inscriptions you don't know that nsibidi is more than what you stole from the Efik Ejagham people.
This looks like a form of Sem priest of Seshat from ancient Egypt. The Freemasons also use habits from here. I think both these organizations, the Scottish rite and Ekpe, come from the same ancient secret society. Their members do the same things for the societies in which they live; Maat justice, irrigation, sanitation, healthcare, ect. The Palm Tree, the rooster (symbolic light among Scottish rite) number 7, horseshoe/chittom, the color blue/indigo are some of the things that lead me to this conclusion. Also, the usage of Knowledge is Power was used by FreeMason Sir Francis Bacon and Freemason Thomas Jefferson. You men of clothe should join together.
The freemasons all learnt from us about the secret society.From my childhood days the were very active in my town and village.Till this day you cant were the cloth unless you are initiated.
if Nsibidi was invented by ejagham, why is the name ukara and ekpe, ibibio in origin? the best way to control a story is to lead it, the false representation of ekpe society which has its origin in the ibibio people is hid for a reason, the controllers of our history cannot hide who the ibibio people really are, the most ancient ethnic black people in the world, they have done so for 8,000 years but it will no longer be hid for they know who they are...
Listen eyen ibibio don't use this media to spread false information Ekpe is never and has never been Ibibio fraternity. Ekpe is an Efik word and Ukara is does not mean rule. The Ukara cloth which is used by Ekpe members is made in Arochuku which a place Iboland we're the Efik stayed. The Ibibio of Akwa Ibom have Ekpo, get your facts right.
@@edaneo11 ,you called arochukwu ibom land where'as until 1901 .. arochukwu,abre iba and ngwa was ibibio land......Efik stay in arochukwu,stay in itu,even uraun...but they don't want to admit..... ibibio no shake
false history, he starts the history with the igbos, when the very words ekpe, ukara are ibibio words, which means lion and rule, how is an albino(anybody with straight hair) teaching and lecturing a history that is owned by ibibios who are the most ancient black people in the world and giving it a false history that the origins of ekpe is from igbos, a different ethnic people living in nigeria, this is terrible
Ekpe Efik Iboku is NOT an Ibibio Fraternity, neither is Otukog-ntan Ekpe of the Qua's nor that of the Efut's of Calabar. Efiks have a history and House system, which every Efik son or woman comes from. Efik Edi Mbakara.
Shut up, Igbo, Ibibios, and Efik are one. Ibibio mean small Igbo, They were called also Kwa Iboe which is Ibo or Igbo. Visit Abiriba and Arochukwu to Cure your ignorance.. Just shut up!
@@scotpauli1 Who is this ignorant fool, Efik, Igbo and Ibibio are NOT one, Efik during their migration had settled in Arowchuku and Uruan which are Efik enclaves the Aro's are Uruan people are Efik's kith and kin not Ibibio and Igbo people but those particular people. My Great, Great, Great ancestor was one of those who lead the Efiks in their sojourn. I don't blame you with a name like Scot Poli, you cannot educate me I bloody know mine ancestry. Do adulterate my history over the www.
Ekpe is an Efik word meaning leopard, lion, Ukara is cloth worn by Ekpe initiates, mostly title holder the Ibibio's DO NOT have Ekpe but "Ekpo Ibibio" no one should start distorting history hereally, Never heard of Ibibio being scientific black people. What is being said here is the culture of the a Efiks, Qua, Efut, Aro's, Ejagaham tribes the only people who have Ekpe in the present day Akwa Ibom are Uruan (Efik Enclave), Oron, Ibibio, a typical Ibibio man from Uyo does not have Ekpe. Am sick and tired of people posting false information over the medium. th-cam.com/video/C05VdjHQaAs/w-d-xo.html

Really interesting blessing.....I'd like to know more about our Cameroon relatives. Kara means to rule in Ibibio language of Nigeria.
Nsibidi is Igbo and Efik, as the influence of the Aro confederacy was strong towards Efik clans
New words i like it
@@ngozio.9347 Nsibidi is from ejagham 🇳🇬.
@@cynthiatanah9572 some Igbo clans and Ibibio/Efik people use it as well 🇳🇬.

Ekpe drums were used to summon people to go to churches and school in my community.
What is the contact for the Maryland chapter?
Wow I would love to be initialed in Ekpe USA Lodge!
Very powerful speech.
Who is the man speaking at 59:00? He just described the war of 1812!!!!
The Nigeria people's buy ekpe from isangele a village almost 20km from ikang
Proudly Ejagham
Nsibidi is an Ejagham invention
Read the last book by Chinua Achebe" There was a nation"
It originated in Igbo land

@@BESTGLOBALTVnsibidi originated from Igbo land.
Ekpe did not started in Nigeria it started in one small village in Cameroon call isangele
There was no Cameron or Nigeria when Ekpe started
Yea...the IBIBIO migrated from there..but we call it usak edet...you in Cameron call it isangele
Insightful and deep though somehow shallow. Ekpe remains Ekpe with it's mysterious secret...open but secret.
Interesting.

The white guy has done his research and knows what his talking about, think his not an initiate though.
He said he was initiated in 2005 and that's why he was very reticent in describing certain features
@@SoulsSojourn You can be an initiate but not an adept and for a white man he will not be shown everything...people think they know.
