The Igbo have no common traditional story of their origins. Historians have proposed two major theories of Igbo origins. One claims the existence of a core area, or "nuclear Igboland." The other claims that the Igbo are descended from waves of immigrants from the north and the west who arrived in the fourteenth or fifteenth century. Three of these are the Nri, Nzam, and Anam.

European contact with the Igbo began with the arrival of the Portuguese in the mid-fifteenth century. At first the Europeans confined themselves to slave trade on the Niger Coast. At this point, the main item of commerce provided by the Igbo was slaves, many of whom were sent to the New World. After the abolition of the slave trade in 1807, British companies pushed beyond the coastal areas and aggressively pursued control of the interior. The Protectorate of Southern Nigeria, created in 1900, included Igboland. Until 1960, Nigeria remained a British colony, and the Igbo were British subjects. On October 1, 1960, Nigeria became an independent nation structured as a federation of states.

Just this morning alone you guys have created over 10 threads on igbo/biafra , are you people this obsessed?
oladeebo from Bini Empire! evil impersonators everywhere why are you not proud of your Yoruba background?
It surprises me that there are only two people on Nairaland (the igbos and the we south south) nobody is now Yoruba, even small urhobo now have more population on Nairaland than the Yorubas .
You people will kill yourselves on top biafra matter ooooo, channel your energy on your well-being and that of your loved ones and let Biafrans worry about their success or failure. I hope am not trying to take away oxygen from you because it seems you guys can't live without igbo obsession.
