Every season awaits our maidens

For the pride of womanhood

Shall unveil her true colour

Colour of her swinging hips

Colour of her moving hands

Colour of her moving lips…

Yes… colours that tells her story

Of whom she is and where she comes from.

Mboppo dance shall unveiled her colours

So shall Ndok Ufok Ebe add hers

Asian Ubo Ikpa shall be there

So shall Asian Mbre Iban 

These, Akwa Abasi Ibom shall rejoice.

Mboppo dance shall unveiled her colours

On Udua Mboppo day she shall come to town

Her confined freedom she must celebrate

That the men folks would take a look

For a life partner they would choose.

Ndok Ufok Ebe shall add hers,

For once in a year she would choose her date

In folk songs of dance and complain

She would alert the entire community

The plight of maltreatment by her husband.

Asian Ubo Ikpa shall be there,

So shall Asian Mbre Iban 

In combined colour of songs and dancing

They would share in united of purpose

A word in songs they came to remind

We are beautiful and eligible

Let the unmarried young men take a look.

Dance of our maidens, guided in our cultures,

Colour of our dance, displayed in it richness

Our maidens has found their unique voice

To tell our heritage in the pride of their displays

Just the way it is.
