Asan Ibibio
A bend from Ekom Iman Junction
There is a virgin land sprung with a virgin history
Here it was our forebears first set their foot upon
As they journey across from Usakedet in Cameroon.
Centuries have passed by
Yet our virgin land has not weathered away
But have become our virgin hope of birth
A rallying point for all the Ibibios.
Our sanctuary of strength
From here begins the spread of the Ibibio civilization
For in unity, our forebears found one voice
That voice that still preserved our values and heritage.
Arise, a descendant of the Ibibio race,
In hands let us join our Ifim Ibom Ibibio
Yes, our Supreme Council of Ibibio Traditional Rulers
That we shall build our treasure home – Asan Ibibio.
In our ancestral home – Ikot Oku Ikono
There, our Asan Ibibio would forever stand
A collection of our ancestral artefacts would be housed
And the needed information about our race will be there.
Come let us join hands
Come let us extend love
Come let us build our treasure Asan
Come let us cultivate, nurture and practice -
Ima, Mboho and Eduek
That our children yet unborn would tell our story.
