The source equates its village group of Bende with the Ibibio Mbente.
Its two communities are the village group of Bende, and Ukpom, also noted as an Ibibio name.
With Ibere and Obero, Bende is classed among the original Enyong Ibibio communities taken over by Igbo incomers from the west; some local groups of this kind remember no migration tradition, keeping instead that of the Ibibio villages with which they merged.
