The Nri Kingdom in the Awka area was founded in about 900 AD in North Central Igboland.
The Nsukka-Awka-Orlu axis is said to be the oldest area of Igbo settlement and therefore,
homeland of the Igbo people. This ancient kingdom is still considered the cradle of Igbo culture.

The Yoruba were organized in patrilineal groups that occupied village communities and subsisted on agriculture.
From about the 8th century adjacent village compounds, called Ilé, coalesced into numerous territorial city-states
in which clan loyalties became subordinate to dynastic chieftains. The earliest known of these city states formed at
Ilé-Ifẹ̀ and Ijebuland. The latter city was fortified by a wall and ditch known today as Sungbo's Eredo around 800 AD.
Urbanization was accompanied by high levels of artistic achievement,
particularly in terracotta and ivory sculpture and in the sophisticated metal casting produced at Ilé-Ifẹ̀.
