I'm Philip Akoda, a Calabar boy of Edo descent. I live in Ikeja, Lagos. I'm an author of several Efik literary works including Learn Efik series 1-2; A 21st Century Efik Pocket Dictionary and Groundwork of Eniong Abatim History (1670-2020). I also run an EdTech Startup that builds language learning products which promote African Languages and Cultures. Through my startup, I built the first Efik language dictionary app on the playstore and appstore. My mission on Wikipedia is to bring information on the Efik-centric topics. The Efik people have the richest historical database in subsaharan Africa. Therefore, I hope to use the hundreds of resources at my disposal to display more information about them.
