About
The Igbo people predominantly inhabit southeastern Nigeria, including states such as Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, and Ebonyi. The Igbo are known for their entrepreneurial spirit, republican social structure, and rich artistic traditions including uli (body and wall painting). Igbo culture emphasizes individual achievement, age-grade systems, and the concept of "igwebuike" (strength in unity). The region was the site of the Biafran War (1967-1970).
