The Igbo people of Eastern Nigeria are an enterprising ethnic group, and are noted for their rich culture and traditions, high business acumen and industrious savvy. In Nigeria they dominate the commercial hub running upwards of thirty five percent (35%) of small business enterprise in the country. It is common to get invited to an igbo traditional marriage (Igbankwu) and certainly worth witnessing one. www.igboguide.org/HT-chapter11.htm 9 Likes 3 Shares

Then, the bride’s father fills a wooden cup (Iko) with palm wine and passes it on to the girl while the groom finds a place between the guests. It is the custom for her to look for her husband while being distracted by the invitees. 13 Likes 3 Shares
