Mbok let me tell you about my home
23rd sept.87'
My motherland was born
Her name is Akwa Ibom
'Akwa Ibom' represents satisfaction
'Akwa Ibom' not just a land of promise but fullfilment
An epitome of buoyancy
We're cursed with peace, happiness and love.
Uyai isong emana mmi
Akwa Ibom ayaya tutu
A statue of unity and pride
Annang mma! , Ibibio isongho! , Eked idediong oo
Phrases of awakening
Juxtaposition of people
Mma! Iyah!
I accept the call...
'Akwa Ibom' an assembly of a family
Sentences can't emphasize your greatness
Akwa Ibom my homland
Shall I compare thee to an olive tree?
Mme daka nda ye usobo mmi ke isin....
I represent a land of culture and heritage
Even in diaspora, I crave for you
Like a lover who can't control his heart on who to love,
I love 'Akwa Ibom'
