Ngwa Tribe
The Ngwa tribe is the largest tribe in South-eastern Nigeria. It is believed that the word “Ngwa” is coined from the word “Ngwa Ngwa” which means quickly.

The Ngwas can be found in an area that shares boundaries with Owerri and Mbaise on the on the west, Ikot-Ekpene and Abak on the east, Ukwa on the south and Umuahia on the north. These tribe is settled in an area in old Aba. They have a population of about a million people and occupy an area of 2,300km square. The people of Ngwa are majorly farmers. A very few women from this tribe take part in Akwete cloth weaving.



It is believed that the Ngwa people are cannibals. Although a lot of people are yet to drop such belief, there are no proofs. The Ngwa people feed on “Akpu” (processed cassava) and Ukazi soup. They are predominantly Christians and dress like other Igbo tribes. The women tie two wrappers on blouses while the men tie wrappers and put on regular shirts.

Ohafia Tribe
Ohafia is local government area in Abia state, it is also one of the tribes in this state. The Ohafia people were known to be mighty warriors in pre-colonial days. Their history is one identity that they seem to be very proud of. Up till today, they still have the warrior’s cap and young men from this tribe still wear it around.

People in Ohafia speak Igbo. They are predominantly farmers and Christians. Their mode of dressing is not so different from that of other Igbo tribes. Their men tie wrappers under a traditionally made top. This attire is incomplete without a cap. Ohafia women tie two wrappers on a blouse.

In the past, Ohafia men were known to be mercenaries of war. However, in more recent times, they farm and trade. Also, processed Cassava and soup is known to be the major food of people from this region.

Abiriba Tribe
Abiriba is one of the tribes in Abia state. It is located in Ohafia local government area. Just like Ohafia tribe, people from Abiriba were known to be warriors in ancient times. Upon arriving in the area which they now occupy, the war skills of this tribe facilitated their settlement.

The Abiribas bear some similarities to some non-Igbo tribes in Cross Rivers state. Myth has it that they migrated from somewhere in Cross Rivers and then settled in Abia.

People from Abiriba have plantain porridge as a staple and dress like other Igbo tribes. Their men put on shirts on wrappers, while the women wear two wrappers over a blouse.

They are mostly farmers. Also Christianity is the dominant religion of this tribe.

Aro Tribe
The Aros are a tribe that can be found in modern day Arochukwu Local government area. They are a people of mixed origin, dialect and culture. They bear a lot of similarities with a non-Igbo tribe called Ibibio. Although they speak Igbo language, their dialect is a little difficult to understand by the average Igbo. The Aros have a very rich cultural heritage. They are known for their Ekpe society, a cult group which was very dominant in pre-independence Aro.

Present day Aros are predominantly Christians and farmers. They are known for wearing George and feed on processed cassava and soup that is very rich in fish and assorted bush meats.

Ohuhu Tribe
Ohuhu is a tribe located in present day Umuahia North LGA. It is believed that the people of Ohuhu did not migrate from anywhere. Supporting this claim are the presence of abandoned settlements. However, there is another claim that states that people of Ohuhu migrated from different parts of Imo such as Nekede and Obowo.

The people of Ohuhu do not possess a very rich cultural heritage, they are predominantly traders and Christians. This tribe is not different from other Igbo tribes in its mode of dressing as well as its food.

Mbaise is geopolitical amalgamation of five originally independent clans namely; Abgaja, Ahiara, Ekwereazu, Ezinihitte and Oke-Uvuru, located between latitude 5 to 60 North and Longitude 7 to 7.50 East and covering a mass area of about 500 square kilometers.Mbaise culture is rich in music and Igbo dance. Music is played on the wood xylophone, hand piano, long short and slit drums, pots, gongs, bamboo horn and calabash. There are dances for childbirth, marriage, funerals, communal labor, and other social occasions.

Mbaise is my tribe and we are more cultured than Any tribe in the region.

Many don't know this some people believe that all the people from southeast are igbos .

Wow I never heard this before and yet these people want to break out from Nigeria how do they want to solve the issue of ethnicity tension among them.

I Also heard that igala people also in Anambra and Enugu. For example the present governor of Anambra is a igala man.

So which of this tribe eating human flesh. So igbo are not even majority in Nigeria ijaw or edo should do the needful. They accused fulani conquered hausa and subjugated them.

Igbo are the original landgrabbler in Nigeria do you know why ipob terrorist formed? is because of our oilwell in imo state .

Point of correction, there's nothing as tribes in South East. What we have are clans that makes up Igbo tribe or Igbo nations in geopolitical South East area.

The list of the clans but not all are:

NRI
Ngwa
Abriber
Nnsuka
Abakaliki
Owerri
Mbaise
Obi-aruku
And many more.

In each of this clans, had more than 20 to 50 towns, and more than 3 to 10 local government.

For example entire Anambra state and beyond are under NRI clans except Onitsha which migrates from Obi-aruku clans to NRI clans.

Obosi lands belongs to NRI clans, while Obosi is one that welcome Onitsha Aloni and gave him a large space to live.

Ogbaru, Ndoni and his brothers belong to Obi-aruku clans, today Ogbaru is in Anambra state while Ndoni is in Rivers state.

Any Igbo can claim not to be an Igbo but Original Igbo's custodians keepers know your clans.

unfortunately I do not understand this post of yours because you made zero sense.
People from most part of Arochukwu LGA ,Ikwuano and Ohafia LGA (Abriba,Nkporo,Ohafia) share the same ancestral history and bear ibibio|Efik name and also use same names for things like plate, plantain etc.

You would have have just captioned your post "villages in Abia state".
