Abstract
This study examined the hidden ethical elements of norms in Ibibio culture and its dayto- day manifestations within the periscope of ethical prerequisite. This study presents a socio-cultural description of Ibibio norms which are an integral part of the culture, social custom, rituals and beliefs governing social coexistence. It argues that though norm is a cultural production with emphasis on prohibitions, Ibibio norms dictates behavioral and/ or conversational re-orientation.
