After the Nigerian-Biafran War, many Igbo
people emigrated out of the indigenous
Igbo homeland in southeastern Nigeria due
to an absence of federal presence, lack of
jobs, and poor infrastructure.[167] In recent
decades the Igbo region of Nigeria has
suffered from frequent environmental
damage mainly related to the oil industry.
[168] Igbo people have moved to both
Nigerian cities such as Lagos and Abuja, and
other countries such as Gabon,[169] Canada,
the United Kingdom and the United States.
Prominent Igbo communities outside Africa
include those of London in the United
Kingdom and Houston, Baltimore, Chicago,
Detroit, Seattle, Atlanta and Washington, D.C.
in the United States.[170][171][172][173]
About 21,000 Igbo people were recorded in
Ghana in 1969.[174] A small number (8,680)
in Bioko island in 2002.[175] Small numbers
live in Japan making up the majority of the
Nigerian immigrant population based in
Tokyo.[176][177] A large amount of the
African population of Guangdong, China, are
Igbo speaking and are business men in the
majority trading between factories in China
and southeastern Nigeria, particularly
Enugu.[178] Other Igbo immigrants are
found in the Americas (Igbo Canadian, Igbo
American, Igbo Jamaican) and elsewhere. |

Igbos have gone beyond the reach of other Nigerians in term of diaspora settlement. |
