thread_title: Ibibio or Igbo???

message: The "Origin" section on Ibibio was copied from a web source that does not have any further citations nor identify the author.  With all due respect, both versions are poorly written.
The use of the word Ibibio depends upon context.  "Ibibio" can refer to a trading language or to a larger cultural group that includes the Efics, Annangs as well as Ibibio of Oron/Uyo.  Tracing the origins of the Ibibio, without clearly defining context is confusing.
The Jukun relationship to the Ibibio seems misplaced.  The manilla was wide spread in West Africa. The smaller form used in the slave trade, was inspired by copper and iron bracelets that fit on the ankle, arm or waist.  These were used as signs of wealth. These larger forms were made from African ores.  However, the "modern", smaller manila was made/used by Portuguese and Dutch in trade in Calabar in about 1500.  The British were manufacturing variations of the manilla for the slave trade in the 1800s. These spread to the interior. If there was a form of money found among the Ibibio that came from the Jukun, it could have been the cowry. Initially the cowry came across the Sahara and someone could claim the Jukun were involved in passing them along to the Ibibio.
I say the oral traditions define the origins from 7000 B.C. to 1400 A.D.

message: It is rather appalling that this aspect of ibibio history was mischievously expunged from the ibibio narrative. This wicked practice was rife in ibibioland before it was abolished by Mary slessor. There was a Grove in ikot antem ediene ikono where this practice was carried out in days of yore.

message: The population is listed as 10 million in the infobox, but the source given only supports 3.9 million. Given the lack of precise census data in Nigeria, there should be a reliable source if we are going to list the population as 10 million. 100.15.128.40 (talk) 02:42, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

message: The population figures in the info box contrast with each other with 2 websites being used. Due to the lack of precise census data in Nigeria, I believe that the website with more precise data should be used, being joshuaproject.net DashAdventure (talk) 18:27, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
