Those who come to you from the following [sic] clans: the Mossi, the Gurma, the Busa, the Yorko, the Kutukul, the Yoruba, the Tanbugbu, the Bobo are considered non-believers who still adhere to non-belief until now.... You are allowed to own all these without questioning. This is the ruling about these clans, and Allah, the Highest, knows and judges (please see Baba c1622: 137).

"What is also interesting about us is that we have all embraced different kinds of identities especially the ruling classes in Nigeria. The Yorubas for example call themselves what they are but the word ‘Yoruba’ is not a Yoruba word because actually, the Yorubas didn’t give themselves the name. The word was given to them by Ahmad Baba of Songhai and Ahmed Baba used the word “Yoruba” not even “The Yorubas" to describe the people who live in what is now modern day Oyo, Osun, Lagos & Kwara states but it simply meant people living in the south. In the same way that word “Hausa” is not a Hausa word and the Hausas didn’t give themselves the name. It was simply given by again the same Ahmad Baba who was living in Songhai and Songhai as you know is the modern day Niger. He just used the word to refer to the people who are living to the south of Niger. In the same way that we are very proud we know a people called the Igbo people, but Ibo is not an Ibo word. The word Igbo was used by the people of Onitsha who were largely monarchical and felt a sense of contempt for other uncultured people who lived around them. So, they used the word to describe others but now it’s been adopted and of course there are people who call themselves Igbo.” ~ Bishop Matthew Kukah Bishop Matthew

The word is Ndi Gbo
Igbo is just short form and not ibo

Ndi= People
Gbo= Ancient/old

Ndi gbo= Ancient people
ie: People who existed from time immemorial
This they told to foreigners who ask them who they were ("Anye bu Ndi gbo" )

Get your facts right
