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.

Word From The Team
We were born out of the zeal to get the young Igbo scholars together so as to start thinking like Igbo sons and daughters through paper publications, meetings and symposia.
