In the late sixteenth century, among the Efik people of Creek Town, the birth of twins was feared.
Twins were seen as an abomination — a sign of disorder, misfortune, and communal ruin.
Mothers were cast out.
Children were abandoned.
But this time, the twins were born into the house of a king.
When tradition demanded their removal, two princes chose exile instead.
This decision — quiet, defiant, and deeply human — would give rise to Duke Town, one of the most powerful Efik city-states on the Cross River.
Episode 1 of Efik Stories explores superstition, power, migration, and the origins of political rivalry that would echo for generations.
Efik Stories is a cinematic oral history project documenting Efik history through narration, imagery, and archival imagination.
