The direct or literal translation of the concept ‘Eba Ebot’ means ‘goat’s breast’, that is, goat’s udder. Its allegorical nuance is derived from an Ibibio proverb that is often retorted by the Ibibio natives as follows: ‘nkọ etuak eba ebot, nkọ awọ mmọng’ (if a goat’s udder is not ‘pushed’, ‘pressurised’ or ‘forced’, it cannot on its own volition releases milk). Even though the concept is loosely translated in this context to give a direct and equivalent English meaning, the nuanced relevance of the allegory of Eba Ebot suggests that until a certain degree of force or pressure is applied to an ‘Eba Ebot’, ‘breast milk’ cannot be obtainable. Perhaps to get milk from a goat’s udder, it must be forced or pressurised.
