Eclectic: EVENT...UDUAK & KINGSLEY TIE THE KNOT

Kingsley & Uduak
Every moment is an experience.-Jake Roberts

So was the trip to Etinan Local Government Area, an experience indeed, a visit to the land of a people off the Ibibio speaking stock. Etinan is located within the south-south (formerly known as south eastern part) of Nigeria and constitutes one of the Local Government Areas in the oil rich Akwa Ibom State.

Known for its agricultural and arts craft products, the area forms one of the most peaceful locations in the West African State of Nigeria. Etinan people are dynamic, intelligent with a deep cultural heritage expressed through craft, arts, music and dances. Well accepted, Etinan is the brain basket of the State; mainly Christians and generally peaceful.

This is a belt of tall trees with dense undergrowth of shorter species dominated by climbing plants. The dominant species of the climbing plants is the lianas which are clustered and entangled in nature, making accessibility and exploitation of big trees very difficult. The prolonged rainy season, resulting in high annual rainfall above 2000mm in this area, ensures adequate supply of water and promotes perennial tree growth. This luxuriant vegetation belt stretches from the western border of Nigeria

Etinan is known for its arts craft products, the area forms one of the most peaceful locations in the West African State of Nigeria, with a private sector driven hospitality, e.g. hotels, clubs and gardens.

Large deposits of mineral resources such as clay, glass, sand and sharp sand. Agricultural resources include palm produce, cassava and yam. Now you can imagine the fun the Eclectic Crew had during the trip to this pleasant place.

Let us believe the pictures will convey the mood at the traditional marriage of a daughter of the land former Miss Uduak Nkanga who was traditionally joined in matrimony to Mr. Kingsley Ekong both graduates of the highly esteemed University Of Uyo. The marriage rites was witnessed by renowned personalities which included the executive Chairman of Itu Local Government Area, Hon. Michael Etim, Mr. Aniekan Ekah of Wetinhappen.com, Mr.Nelson Nseabasi-another industrious publicist, Mr. Kelly Okure, Mr. Uduak Umoren, Mr. Ekerette Gibson, Mrs. Rebecca Ekwueme and other persons.
