Brief History of the Igbo people : The word “Igbo” (in some cases people erroneously use “Ibo”) refers to Igbo people of Nigeria, an ethic group, their origin, their culture, their heritage and their language.

Post-Colonization:

The arrival of the British in the 1870s and increased encounters between the Igbo and other Nigerians led to a deepening sense of a distinct Igbo ethnic identity. The Igbo also proved remarkably decisive and enthusiastic in their embrace of Christianity and Western education. Under British colonial rule, the diversity within each of Nigeria’s major ethnic groups slowly decreased and distinctions between the Igbo and other large ethnic groups, such as the Hausa and the Yoruba became sharper. The novel “Things Fall Apart by Igbo author Chinua Achebe”, is a fictional account of the clash between the new influences of the British and the traditional life of the Igbo.

Igbo Language :

Igbo people, are one of the three largest ethnic groups in Nigeria, the other two are Yoruba and Hausa. Because of the geographical location, the Igbo people were among the first Nigerians to make contact with the European Missionaries that came into Nigeria by ship, and thus, from the south. This location also made Ndigbo vulnerable to the severe impact of the slave trade. The Igbo people adopted, or rather accepted, western Christianity and education, which the missionaries brought along with them. As a result, Igbo people are mostly Christians (a small percentage of the population practice traditional religion)., and among the most educated in Nigeria (western education).
