The gentrification of Ekpe: Unveiling the sacred code of our ancestors

There was a time when Ekpe was not just a society, it was a spiritual portal, a divine system of governance, and a sacred custodian of justice, discipline, and wisdom in Ibibio cosmology.

It stretched beyond the Ibibio into the souls of the Efik, Oron, and Uruan peoples. Ekpe was not merely a cult or fraternity, it was a spiritual technology encoded in ritual, symbolism, and cosmic law.

But today, we watch as the Western world attempts to gentrify what they once demonized. They travel across oceans, mask their curiosity in the name of “research” and “documentation,” yet what they truly seek is the secret that powers Ekpe. If it was evil, why are they restless for its essence? If it was darkness, why do they thirst for its hidden light?

The answer is simple, they know the truth. Ekpe is power. Ekpe was order before colonial law. Ekpe was initiation into divine consciousness long before theology schools were erected on our soil. Ekpe was protection, truth, ancestral memory, and the gatekeeper of our communal soul.

In our ancient culture, to be initiated into Ekpe was to be trusted with the metaphysical codes of justice and leadership. It was an honor, not a curse. It was sacred, not satanic. It was mystical, not demonic. The Europeans called it primitive because they feared it. They called it evil because they could not understand or control it. And now, centuries later, they’re coming back for what they once discarded, because they now realize that what we had was never backward, it was divine.

So why do we remain asleep? Why do we still apologize for our roots while others try to study and steal them in silence?

It is time to awaken.

Our ancestors were not evil, they were encoded with sacred wisdom. Their spiritual systems were not demonic, they were demonized. What was labeled “fetish” was simply what could not be colonized.

Let me be clear: I do not offer free professional work. No payment, no booking. But for those who are truly ready to reclaim the divine codes of our ancestry, I invite you to awaken, learn, and be restored.
