Diasporan Igbos-by Wikipedia by zuchyblink(op): 9:25am On Aug 22, 2015
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.

Correct, everywhere in Nigeria and abroad, it's Igbo, ibo, eboe, and more Igbo.

Igbos deserve a nation to take care of themselves...
