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