Attorney Mfon Ekpo Honored with Golden Quill Award at Second Annual Best Seller’s Summit and Awards Gala.

Kudos to Lawyer Mfon Ekpo who received the Golden Quill in the USA. Her name appears to be Calabar? Akwa-Ibom? It is very nice seeing fellow attorney and author (my next destination) making it happen. Extra icing on the cake that she is of the Kalabari (Calabar & Akwa-Ibom) tribe. I wish I could speak the Calabar language, although I do understand, to a large extent, Eket (the place where trouble makers like myself come from. :)) I got Y’oba on lock down so I don’t feel as bad. Welcome to the 21st century where an Igbo person only speaks Hausa and an Akwa-Ibomite only speaks Yoruba. LOL! Good look on Mfon Ekpo. Congrats!
