Although thousands of the Efik race have over the years graduated in various fields of learning, the graduation ceremony coming up this month, will be quite spectacular as the eight students will be the first to have read the language in the university.

This was the place where, according to local Cross River histories, an Efik leader and his entire retinue were captured by British ships; the information contained in the Cuban chants documents their final destination in Havana.
This information gave rational to the seemingly fabulous story of a complex secret society being recreated under conditions of slavery; it was possible because the leaders and their intimate circle were brought into the context of Havana, a cosmopolitan city with a large free fl population, among which were already many Cross River people.
The fact that both Efik Ekpe members and Cuban Abakua members recognize themselves in the other’s language and ritual practice suggests the importance of ancestral memory and tradition in creating local ethnic identities that resist alienation by maintaining social cohesiveness.
