A brief walk into the lives of one of African ancient people

According to history, the ancestors of the Oron people had occupied their present location in present day Akwa Ibom state even before 2370BC. And from that time till now, the Oron people have retained their dialect Language, Oro, which was originated by them and not borrowed elsewhere.
