Nsibidi also known as nsibiri or nchibiddi is a means of communication consisting of symbols or proto-writing developed in what is now far Southern Nigeria. They are classified as pictograms. It is a good example of an ancient means of communication that has withstood the test of time. This communication system is estimated to have been around from 400 to 1400 CE, as the earlier forms of the symbols appeared on excavated pottery, ceramic stools, and headrests from the Calabar, Arochukwu, and Ohafia regions.
Nsibidi is Notoriously used by the Ekpe leopard society a secret society that is found within the Cross River Region among the Ekoi, Efik, Igbo and other nearby people. 500 Nsibidi symbols have been recorded out of the thousands that are believed to exist. Many of the signs deal with love affairs; those that deal with warfare and the sacred are kept secret. The symbols that deal with warfare and the sacred were taught to secret groups in control of the arms of government, while the many other symbols that deal with love affairs and decorative were commonly known amongst the public, and were once taught at school to children.
Nsibidi is used to design the 'ukara ekpe' woven material which is usually dyed blue (but also green and red) and is covered in nsibidi symbols and motifs. Ukara ekpe cloths are woven in Abakaliki, and then they are designed by male nsibidi artists in the Igbo-speaking towns of Abiriba, Arochukwu and Ohafia to be worn by members of the Ekpe society. Symbols including lovers, metal rods, trees, feathers, hands in friendship war and work, masks etc. are dyed onto ukara cloths. The cloth is dyed by post-menopausal women in secret and young males in public. Ukara was a symbol of wealth and power only handled by titled men and post-menopausal women.
Nsibidi was and is still a means of transmitting Ekpe symbolism. Nsibidi was transported to Cuba and Haiti via the Atlantic slave trade, where it developed into the anaforuana and veve symbols. Nsibidi was the inspiration for the Wakanda writing system shown in the 2018 Marvel’s Universe film, The Black Panther. Other related popular communication systems include but are not limited to Adinkra {Ghana} and the Uli symbols.
