The Hebrew Israelite Origins of Efik Tribe

The Efik aboriginals who are recorded to have migrated from Palestine (Israel), following the Roman conquest in 63 B.C. and the resulting revolts against the conquest in the first and the second centuries A.D., drifted through Egypt. The Efik people felt disenchanted by the harsh treatment of the Israelites by the Egyptians of the time and moved out to establish on their own. From Nubia, the movement reached ancient Ethiopia which at some point in time became a world power. The birth, death, and resurrection of Christ ushered in a new world view and religion called Christianity and the Ethiopians and Egyptians both went that way. At a point in time another religion, Islam was born out of Arabia, a religion which sought to take things by force. It swept through Egypt and conquered it, with lots of death on its toll. When the Ethiopians (the Falashas) heard of the intention of the Muslims to invade Ethiopia, majority of their ancestors pulled out and thus begun the famous migration story of the Efik people. These migrations took them through Sudan to Lake Chad where the group became fragmented and went into different regions 27. The peoples now called Oron and Uruan went into Cameroun. Some went into Ghana while others went into Congo and Equitorial Guinea. Another group entered present-day Nigeria through Adamawa plains where a few settled in the Igbo country of the Aros in a village called Ututu. Here they told their hosts, when asked, that they were Hebrews. By the Igbo reference to the Falasha fragment among them as Hebrew Ututu, the name Eburutu was derived as we have it today (Efik Eburutu). Disagreement with the Aros, led to further migration, finding residency in various settlements in the territory presently known as Akwa-Ibom state until they reached their present location in Calabar. Discover the rich history of slave trading in the region as well as several Hebrew names borne by the Efik people including names like Duke, Ephraim, Inyan etc. which can be found in the scriptures. #AwakeOIsrael REF: http://efikeburutu.org/about%20us.html https://www.efikusa.org/efik-history https://www.biblestudytools.com/lexic... https://www.blueletterbible.org/ Music: Evang.
