The culture and traditions of the Igbo Society

INDIIGBO (IBGO)The history of the Igbos who are also called the "INGIIBGO" is dated back to thousands of years ago in the human history. According to my research, the traditional homeland of the lgbo people lies in the south-eastern region of Nigeria. The Igbos are a self-helping race who strongly believe in making themselves what they wish to be.They are rich in culture and tradition.Their dishes are pounded yam and okro soup and bitter leave. Although the Igbos has generally very similar cultures, they also show some local variations in cultures and customs. Based on these variations the Igbo- land can be divided into five main subgroups namely:

  a) The Northern Igbo - Igbo-Ukwu, Onitsha, Enugu, Nri-Awka; b) The Western Igbo - Ogwashi-Ukwu, Asaba, Agbor;
c) The Southern Igbo - Umuahia, Ngwa, Owerrinta;
d) The Eastern Igbo - Afikpo, Arochukwu-Ohiafia, Bende and
e) The North-Eastern Igbo - Ogu-Ukwu, Abakaliki

 According to my research on” igboguide.org,”Igboland was conquered by the better military equipped British missionaries and she came under British colonial rule.
