pardon me, my comments below actually meant for part 2 of the interview with dr. miller

very important to document our culture. more importantly, extremely important to continue to hand down all of these things from generation to generation as has so far been successfully done. dr miller said something very poignant...that our young ones seem to be uninterested (im paraphrasing here). please we must not let our cultures/traditions disappear!!!

All the Efik people in Cuba are not from Calabar town. Calabar is a town and so the mistake is Obvious. People in Cuba who tend to call themselves Calabaly are really saying KALABARI and not Calabar. The Ekpe society group are obviously Efik people. CALABAR is not the name of a tribe but a town .

@Killayut Yep you're right! So you've been to Cuba? Wow! I'm planning to go next year with my daughter,and can't wait! Viewing your comments on the 'other video', you and I are from the same school of thought.That of our culture/ethnicity being overlooked/hijacked by some other tribes,where people of African decent in the diaspora are concerned.It infuriates me,and I'm sure you too,when our obvious cultures in the diaspora are being claimed by other tribes,and the owners dismissed

PEACE!.

Fascinating and important work. His book is an amazing body of research. I like this video although the host seems distracted. Also, I know that Dr. Miller is American so - why the foreign accent? I've noticed that this is a trend among American scholars/performers of African based culture. It's as though speaking like that gives them a sense of authenticity. Maybe it's unconsciously done. I don't know, and I'm certainly not trying to hate. I guess, for me people are more authentic and worthy o

@bacheche7 'Accent???' Didn't you hear him say he lived in CUBA for many years? When in Rome..... Also I think it's rather cool!

[Killayut]

@vixxy02 The Efik culture is obvious in Cuba. I know that cos I have been there to see.
