11 Secrets About The Igbos
That Can Be Of Benefits To Nigeria

Igbo, people living chiefly in southeastern Nigeria who speak Igbo, a language of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family.

The Igbo may be grouped into the following main cultural divisions: northern, southern, western, eastern or Cross River, and northeastern.

Before European colonization, the Igbo were not united as a single people but lived in autonomous local communities.

By the mid-20th century, however, a sense of ethnic identity was strongly developed, and the Igbo-dominated Eastern region of Nigeria tried to unilaterally secede from Nigeria in 1967 as the independent nation of Biafra.

By the turn of the 21st century, the Igbo numbered some 20 million.
