Many people think that they know about ndi igbo but the truth is that there are a lot of misinformation. Igbos are very unique and it has lead to a quest being launched by an european to investigate how they came to be. See http://www.phoenixvoyage.org/blog/afrikan-quest

But meanwhile, here are some facts you dont know:
1. Ndi Igbo do not eat human flesh.
This got to be one of the most outrageous assumptions people have about ndi igbo. All people from Igbo land eat what other humans eat like animal meat, vegetable or food, not human flesh. Come on, they are not cannibals

2. Not every Igbo wants to secede from Nigeria.
Yes, there are those that still want to remain in Nigeria. Stop saying every igbo wants Biafra.

3. Igbos don't play with yams.
Yes, you heard that one right ! That's why they have new yam festival every year. Infact in igboland of ancient, yam barns is a way to know a rich or vibrant man in the society.

4. Igbo people are not disrespectful.
Igbo believe in respecting hardwood and authority,but don't play with them or their emotions, they wont take it.

5. Igbo people do not perform money rituals.
Oh yes, this is another superstition belief other tribes have about igbos. Nollywood have portrayed and now everyone believes it. But i reality its not as you think it.

6. All the Igbo do not prefer business to education.
Contrary to popular belief, nit every igbo will dump education or academics for business. There are igbos that will never do business instead will opt to be grounded in academics. You can testify that there are many igbo professors, writers, teachers and academicians in nigeria.
