Akwa Ibom
Our land of promise
In you
We found our fulfillment.
Our land of promise
In you
We found our fulfillment.
Our precious land
That flows with milk and honey
In abundant deposit of black-gold
Is the heritage of your soil rewarded.
23rd day of September, 1987 was your birth
Even before that day, you were alive
In the heart of the people that you endeared
With the hospitalities that you enthrone.
Land where the swing of hips are your glory
Your dialects a pride in the mouth of your own
How your delicacies are a delight in celebration
Your land, I am proud to be a descendant.
Land of the earliest intellectuals
In abundance
You have produced pacesetters
That your land and beyond celebrates.
AkwaAbasi Ibom
Home to the Ibibio�s,
Home to the Annang�s,
Home to the Ukpabang�s�
Home to all who bears your root
For in peaceful co-existence you reign.
