@@davepryde5982 Yes it's a traditional dance of the Ejagham people in Nigeria. Same tribe exists in Cameroon so I'm not surprised you have the same cultural dance. Just goes to show how similar we are.

I'm half Efik and proud of my mums heritage

Yes my mom is a manyu woman from Cameroon and she dances the moni nkim every weekend. I'm proud of our African heritage.

[@jennylove3168]

That's the Ejagam Cameroon. That's my origin too but here is Ejagam Nigeria. It's same culture same language

[@kevinemmanuel8525]

Your Right same brother, same Family,same food, tradition and linguistics, As Southwest cameroon use to be part of Nigeria present day cross river and akwa Ibom. When Southwest cameroon join french cameroon it split family of ethnic groups Ibibio, Efik, Ejagham, Igbos between Nigeria and Cameroon. Now it's understandable why Anglophone cameroonian say they are west African 🌍 Instead of Central Africans

[@gtail942]

This are the Ejaghams of Nigeria different from the Manyu in Cameroon.

[@anicettakor8568]

Some of you still confused and didn’t want to learn , the Manyu people of Cameroon are a break out people who migrated from the Efik people and came to settle across the River in cameroon 🇨🇲. So the cultures are the same and the language is the same .so when i see u fighting over who has the dance it tells me most of u dont know history.
