Akwa Ibom
Akwa Ibom
Our land of promise
In you
We found our fulfilment.
Our precious land
That flows with milk and honey
In the abundant deposits of black-gold
Is the heritage of your soil rewarded.
23rd day of September 1987 was your birth
Even before that day, you were alive
In the heart of the people that you endeared
With the hospitality that you enthrone.
The land where the swing of hips is your glory
Your dialects a pride in the mouth of your own
How your delicacies are a delight in celebrations
Your land, I am proud to be a descendant.
Land of the earliest intellectuals
In abundance
You have produced pacesetters
That your land and beyond celebrates.
AkwaAbasi Ibom
Home to the Ibibio’s
Home to the Annang’s
Home to the Ukpabang’s…
Home to all who bear your root
For in peaceful co-existence, you reign.
