About A Journey to The Dark Era of Annang: An Ethnography of Mkpatak

The book you are staring at is a historical research on the people of Annang nation. Not many people have the understanding of how people started living in Mkpatak. Ephraim Isobara reveals how the present day Nigeria was inhabited. Intriguing questions were answered, such as who were the Stone and Iron Age ancestors of Annang? How did they live and what did they eat? Were the Annang ancestors Israelites from the lost Northern tribes? Did the Nri, the Akpa, the Benue tribe and some tribes of the Southern Cameroun that occupied the present day Ambazonia once lived together in Aro confederacy? How was the name Mkpatak derived? Did it originate from a deciduous creep plant that was used to decorate Masqurades? The author reveals captivating evidence of the existence of the plant called Mkpatat (Artemisia spp). And what led to the phonic change that gave birth to Mkpatak. The book sheds light on how Calabar become a British protectorate and how the chiefs of Duke Town accepted British protection in 1884. Old Calabar served as capital of the Oil Rivers Protectorate for a time and later became the Niger Coast Protectorate in 1893. Many fascinating history of the fall of Ikot Ekpene, the battle for Ukpong Innokon, a leader of Aro blood brotherhood? What led to the fall of Abak and how the entire valley between Ediene and Abak became a bloody battlefield? How the British capture Opobo? But that isn’t all? History is inexhaustible. In 1881, a bloody war broke out between the people of Opobo and the Annang people. The Annang formed alliance with the people of Ibeno and fought intensely. They had an encampment at a jungle which was later named Ikot Annang. They eventually spread to cover Ukam, Ique, Ibeno, Ikot Ebe Ekpo, Ikot Akpan Ishiet and Ikot Ankang.The book probed into the post independence Nigeria as advocacy for unitary system of government led to Kaduna Nzegwu’s coup. This did little to ease northern fears of southern domination. The Hausa’s viewed Ironsi’s reluctance to court-martial Major Nzegwu’s 1966 coup as Igbo agenda. This led to a reprisal coup in July. Gowon tried ending attacks against Igbo in the north; he was unable to affect a more lasting peace as tension had already escalated. His final attempt to resolve the conflict brought the country into a bloody civil war. Ikot Ekpene which was a major satellite town to Mkpatak came under heavy bombardment. Bomb blasts drove people from their homes to Ottoh market but they soon dispersed to Uyo and Ekpene Ujim as the battle intensified.
