About DBpedia

Ekpe, also known as Mgbe/Egbo (Ekoi language: leopard; derived from the Ibibio term for the same), is a West African secret society in Nigeria and Cameroon flourishing chiefly among the Efiks. It is also found among a number of other ethnic groups, including the Bahumono of the Cross River State, the Ibibio, the Uruan and the Oron of Akwa Ibom State, Arochukwu and some other parts of Abia State, as well as in the diaspora, such as in Cuba and Brazil. The society is still active at the beginning of the 21st century, now playing more of a ceremonial role.

The society is still active at the beginning of the 21st century, now playing more of a ceremonial role. There are two distinct but related societies. The primary society is located in the Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Arochukwu areas of Nigeria, and the secondary society consists of members from the Southern and Eastern Igbo groups of the same country. (en) Epê (em iorubá: Ekpe), também conhecido como Ebô (em iorubá: Egbo , lit. "Leão"), é uma sociedade secreta faz sucesso principalmente entre os efiques do estado Rio Cross e os , e partes dos ibibios do estado Acua Ibom, Nigéria, bem como os nigerianos efiques/ibibios/orons na diáspora, como em Cuba. A sociedade ainda é ativa no início do século XXI, alegadamente só desempenhando um papel cerimonial. Existem duas sociedades distintas, mas relacionadas, a principal nas áreas de Rio Cross e Acua Ibom, e as secundárias nas áreas entre os ibos, no sul do Ngwa e . Os membros da Epê inventaram Nsibidi, um símbolo. Epê não é a mesma coisa que Epô (Ekpo), ou Econgue (Ekong), que se encontram em outras sociedades, na bacia hidrográfica do rio Cross, em especial nos estados de Acuá Ibom e Rio Cross, os anangues não praticam Epê.
