Ikot Ekpene 

[The Raffia City]

Ikot Ekpene,

Land of the Annangs,

Centre of raffia craft.

Ikot Ekpene,

Land of skilled craftsmen.

In beauty of slopes,

You surround yourself.

In richness of culture,

Your heritage is blessed.

Land of the Annang’s

The main centre of raffia craft

A town within the land of promise

Skilled craftsmen preserved your heritages.

In the extract of raffia palm frond,

The hands of your craftsmen

Have amazed the world.

Raffia belts, hats,

Raffia shoes, handbags…

Are the skilled hands of your craftsmen.

Ikot Ekpene! You are called by name

But by `Raffia City', your alias is known

In the tradition of your ancestors I greet.

Annang mma!

Annang mma!

Annang mma mma de-o.
