The History of The Igbo People


One of Nigeria’s three main ethnic groups is the Igbo. In South-East Nigeria, the Igbo people amount to about 80-81 million.

Ebonyi, Abia, Anambra, Delta, Rivers, minor portions of Benue, Rivers, and Delta are the states of Igbo people.

Other African nations with a sizable Igbo population include Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Cameroon, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Geographically speaking, the Niger River divides the Igbo land into two parts: the Eastern and the Western.

Of the two sides, the Eastern portion is the largest. Regarding ethnicity, the Igbo people belong to the same group as the Edo, Igala, Ijaw, Efik, Ibibio, Idoma, Krio, Ogoni, and Annang.

History of the Igbo people:

The Origin For the past five decades, ethnohistorians, anthropologists, botanists, archaeologists, and linguists have studied the Igbo people’s origins. In opposition to the findings of international studies.

Many schools of thought, theories, and debates have been helpful but inconclusive. As a result, there are various narratives or points of view regarding the origin of the Igbo people.

On one hand, one of the schools of thought claims that Eri is a supernatural being, sent to bring civilization to the Igbos, making him an ancestor of the Igbo people.

On the other hand, Eri, one of the sons of Gad traveled from Isreal to the far East. Because of this, the Igbos came to the conclusion that their culture is related to that of the Jews.

As previously stated, we can confidently say that the Igbo are an old and advanced ethnic group.

History of the Igbo people: Pre-colonial life The political structure of the Igbo people differs significantly from that of pre-colonial West Africa.

The latter runs a hierarchical society, while the former runs a heterarchical society, except for Onitsha, which Obi and Arochukwu ruled, and Nri, which had Priests known as Eze. The assembly person bestows titles upon well-respected individuals in the community.

These individuals only carry out duties assigned to them by the assembly; they do not make laws. The Igbo community settles conflicts without a legal system but by swearing an oath to a god.

An accused person becomes guilty after swearing and the curse manifests at the pre-determined moment. The punishment can take the form of banishment or slavery to the gods.

How na? If you check online you will find the account numbers of where the funds were domiciled.

Even Alex Otti the then MD of Diamond bank confirmed it. Obiano was reckless in his spending so trying to play down the figures was just to cover his reckless spending.

But he wasn't wise enough because that made Peter Obi team to publish the account numbers and challenged him to an open debate and that was the end of the matter

Okay

Anybody downgfading Obi has not been to Anambra the time before him and anyone praising Tinubu did not live in Lagos the period when he was govervor. I have houses in both states and have lived through both periods, i can tell you who is the better candidate based on the resources they had at their disposal.

Obi did wonders in education sector, today Anambra is leading state in education sector

Stop your lies, your sources showing 2012 and 2013 meanwhile, APC as a party was not formed then. See BAT and Shetima on the paper only attests to your lies. What do you gain in all this nonsense?

Is that Uzodinma beside him?

Atiku is the solution for Nigerians

I still fail to see what exactly Obi has done or did has a governor that is different from what other known politicians have done seperately besides not accepting severance package. It is always about building roads to inflate the cost and claiming to purchase things over and over again...I think we need innovative ideas and a real champion. I unfortunately don't see that amongst the candidates in this election. If debates or town hall amounted to anything, I think Kola Abiola seems to understand better how to change the narrative of the nation even though it might be hard to trust him. But he seems to have better ideas... my views and opinion but I think we just need to do away with these generation of professional liars...till now Obi still hasn't explained why $2m was paid to a contractor in cash. Tinubu can't explain the businesses he can run successfully without public funds and Atiku can't explain how and where he has made his money...

If its other governors achievements that is been posted and making news and headlines obituaries will be shouting is it not what they were elected to do, now its their Ipob grand master we no hear word again, does it even make any sense when a governor is said to have donated money for infrastructures in his own state like the money is from his main account its suppose to be peter obi renewed or rebuild not donate, all those billions were all lies if obi did all those things he would have mentioned it himself in his so-called interviews, obi did trash during his tenure zombidiots should go and rest with the paper editing propaganda and pic shopping soludo wrote his articles out of biase before he became governor of Anambra state, he analysis every state and every sectors and he could have mentioned things done by obi if actually obi did much better for Anambra
