Countries and Their Cultures: Ibibio

Curated by ACT

The name "Ibibio" identifies the largest subdivision of people living in southeastern Nigeria, in Akwa Ibom State, and it is generally accepted and used for both ethnic and linguistic descriptions. Like their Igbo neighbors, the Ibibio are primarily rain-forest cultivators of yams, taro, and cassava. They engage in subsistence agriculture. Wealth comes from the export of palm-oil products, distributive trading among themselves, and town wage labor. Well known for their skill in wood carving and weaving.
