This month we highlight the Great Invocation in IBIBIO.

Ibibio is the native language of the Ibibio people of southern Nigeria. It is the official language of Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria in the Cross River State region. It is a language of the Niger-Congo family. The name Ibibio is also used for Ibibio-Efik. The 60 Cross River languages are situated around the Cross river in south eastern Nigeria and westward towards the Niger Delta. The largest of  these languages is Ibibio, which with its written cousin, Efik, has some 3,500, 000 speakers.

Akam
Ke ibuot Unwana ke ekikere Abasi
Yak Unwana owok oduk ke ekikere ndito owo
Yk Unwana osukhore ke ison.

Ke ibjot Ima ke esit Abasi
Yak Ima owok ke esit ndito owo
Man Christ akpakan osukjore ke ererimbot.

Ke ufot emi edionode uduak Abasi
Yak udon akpakara nkpri uduak owo
Udon emi Etubom odionode onyon okponode.

Ke ufot emi nuin ikotde oruk ndito owo
Yak udon Ima you Unwana owut
Man akpakam  esiri usun emi idiok nkpo odunde.

Yak Unwana ye yelma ye Odudu afiak odori uduak ke ererimbot.
