I always say that Ibos, also call Igbos, are wonderful and enterprising people. They are a unique race and I love them.

Yorubas practiced polygamy in the olden days and they still do that nowadays.

Hausas practiced polygamy in the olden days and they still do that nowadays.

I believe in the olden days, Igbos too, practiced polygamy. One good example is the book “Things Fall Apart.” Okwonkwo is a polygamist.

Since most Igbos have embraced Christianity, majority of them are now monogamous. At least, those who’re living in Lagos.

But what about those living in Rural areas of the east (even in towns)? Do they still practice polygamy?

Are there any Igbos in these modern times, who still practice polygamy?

I would appreciate accurate answers.
