The Oron Nation (Akpakip Oro) was a sovereign and egalitarian society from c. 1200 to its forced incorporation into Nigeria in 1914. The Oron people share a strong ancestral lineage with the Efik people in the Cross River State. Some other related indigenous groups include the Uruan, Ibeno and Andoni people (the Obolo), both in the Akwa Ibom State and in the Rivers State, along with the Balondo-ba-Konja.[lower-alpha 1] The Oron people are a major ethnic group still present in Akwa Ibom.
