I coming from the Yoruba tribe and living in Lagos, have so much love the Igbo culture, lived and have them as friends , a friend of mine here from Jamaica always referred to himself as “Jam Igbo” he believe that if he was from Nigeria, he will be from the Igbo Community. The Igbo is a strong community here and back home and also known as hard working people, not all is positive but I believe we all have our negative side as people and as a community. Although most studies on Ndigbo claim that before the British colonial enterprise, Igbo societies existed as fragmented Village Republics. However, by the mid-nineteenth century, Ndigbo had developed a strong sense of national identity and there is also some evidence of ancient Igbo Empires. Two of such Empires identified by B. O. N. Eluwa, one-time Secretary General of Igbo Federal Union, were the Ado-Na-Idu and Nri Empires.
