Ibom is an old word used by the Efik / Ibibio / Annang / Oron / Eket people of Nigeria meaning the ancient universe, the cradle earth, or the cradle, original or ancient community from which others sprang forth. The word Ibom symbolizes the ancestral, the origin, the cradle, the source and the ancient community or place or area from which other communities or people sprang forth or originated. Akwa Ibom State is one of the present two states created from the old Akwa Akpa kingdom, Cross River State being the sister state.

Akwa also spelled Aqua, meaning The Great One or The Essential One is believed to be the ancestor of the people of Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State. Kwa or Qua therefore means Essential One or Great One. It is of no coincidence that their ancient Kingdom was originally known as Akwa Akpa. The words Akwa, Aqua, Kwa, Qua are common names for places, rivers, etc., in both Akwa Ibom State and in Cross River State. Many have proposed that Cross River State should change its name to Akwa Akpa State.

There is a town in Arochukwu, Abia state in Southeastern Nigeria called Ibom. It was an Ibibio Town that the Arochukwu people claimed after the Aro-Ibibio Wars, which the Arochukwu won with the combined Igbo and Akpa/Efik armies. Ibom is also where the famous Ibit Akpabi corruptly called Ibini Ukpabi oracle is located, Ibibio owned that land for many centuries before AROCHUKWU migrated from Yakurr / AKAMKPA in Cross Rivers State. We are all one people before British government came and destroyed our land and changed the our names delete our original identify.

IBO is corruptly called Igbo migrated from Yakurr/AKAMKPA in Cross Rivers State, which is part of ancient Ibibio in ancient IBOM KINGDOM.

The word IBO has no meaning in their native language, it was caved out or coined from Ibibio word: IBOM to IBO-(M) during the British manipulation of dividing Nigeria into 3 major tribes/regions, namely: Hausa, Yoruba and IBO. In the real sense, Igbo is a part of IBIBIOS in ancient IBOM KINGDOM who sprang from USAK EDET in EKOI/EJAGHAM in Cross Rivers state over 7OOO BC.

1. IBIBIO means: doing something quick, or fast-fast, or short-short.

1. IBOM means: The cradle earth, beginning of the world or earth.

1. IBO/Igbo doesn’t mean anything in their native language because it was coined out of IBO(M).

1. Abia doesn’t mean anything in Igbo language, but it means: Priest in Ibibio language.

1. Aba doesn’t mean anything in Igbo language, but it means: Secured environment or fenced environment in Ibibio language
