The Igbo People

The Igbo, a people found in the Nigerian States of Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bayelsa, Benue, Cross river, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo, Enugu, Kogi and Rivers States are the most populated, intelligent, industrious, educated and travelled race in Nigeria and Africa. The Igbo people are also found in other nations with reasonable population in Equatorial Guinea, Haiti, Democratic Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, South America and other places where slavery has taken them to. They are well travelled specie of humans that it is hard not to see a country or city world over without an Igbo person undertaking one trade or another, marry and even engage in the development of the host city or nation. In some cases, their hosts misunderstand their easy integration into their society and their fast progression to envious heights and begin to hate and even launch attack on them. This is because not much is known about them hence, the need for this Forum. The world needs to know and understand this specie of humans that is rarely missed in every part of the Globe and take them as a race needed for greater Global peace and development.

This Forum’s mission therefore is to assemble all the educated Igbo sons and daughters of all fields of endeavor wherever they may be, to start thinking and living as the Igbo, to search for their Igbo brothers and sisters that Providence has made to belong to other nations of the world and connect with them; to start collecting, documenting, writing and publishing for Posterity, all they know or heard about Igbo thoughts and beliefs as it concerns Humanity and her world of Science, Religion, Politics, Education, Medicine, Economy, Social life, History, Law and Order, Culture and Civilization, Engineering, Business Relations, Comparative politics, Arts and Crafts, Strategy and Environment, Entertainment, Hospitality, Tourism, Music and Dance, Agriculture and Technology, Public Policy, Language, Philosophy, etc. She also intends to find out how Igbo/African culture could relate with other cultures of the world for greater world peace, security and development.
