Cross River State

Nigeria

Cross River State, Nigeria connects to 1040 places across 16 topics through 56 Bunkabop connections, with government and nature themes dominant. Co-connections run most heavily through Nigeria broadly, Calabar, and neighboring states. Calabar served as capital of the Oil Rivers Protectorate from 1884, and the region became a centre of anti-colonial resistance during the colonial-era Women's War. After independence in 1960, the area became part of the Eastern Region until 1967. The Efik language is widely spoken across Calabar Municipality and several surrounding local government areas.
