Oron Fish Market, Through-Pass To Camaroun, Gabon (DOCUMENTARY)

Oron is a coastal city and Local Government Area (LGA) in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. It is home to the Maritime Academy of Nigeria and the Oron Museum.

Oron is a coastal trade center for yams, cassava, fish, palm oil, and kernels. Natural resources found in the area include oil, gas, and iron.

Oron is most popular for its famous Oron Crayfish and other seafood like fish, prawns, crabs, periwinkles, and many others which you can get at affordable prices.

ENigeria Newspaper reports that the beach market or fish market in Oron only opens on Sundays and Wednesdays where traders transact on seafood and other food produce transported to other parts of the country.
The Oron people (or Örö people) are a multi-ethnic tribal grouping that makes up the Akpakip Oro or Oron Nation.

The Oron people (Örö) are located primarily in southern Nigeria in the riverine area of Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State as well as in Cameroon.

The Central Oron River Bank has a popular jetty where boats are boarded to Calabar, Cameroun, and Garbon.
Oron remains the easiest place to travel through to Calabar from Akwa Ibom via executive passenger ferries operated by Sea Express for as low as N6,500.

You can also travel via smaller speed boats for as low as N4,000, but it is not often advisable. The journey however would take about 45-50 minutes via the sea.

Oron people are industrious and hospitable. Their main occupations are fishing, farming, trading, and crafts creations, among others. The culture of the Oron people is to a greater extent, the same as that of Ibibio and Annang ethnic groups of Akwa Ibom State.

The most important secret societies of the Oron people are the ‘Ekung’, ‘Ekpe’, ‘Nka’, ‘Inam’, ‘Abang’, ‘Ukpok’, and ‘lban Isong’. WATCH FULL DOCUMENTARY OF ORON BELOW (start from 21:06)
