Abstract

Igboland, also known as Southeastern Nigeria and some parts of South Nigeria, is the homeland of the Igbo people. It is a cultural and common linguistic region in southern Nigeria. Geographically, it is divided by the lower Niger River into two unequal sections – an eastern and a western section. The states captured in this area includes: Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, and minor parts of Delta, Benue and Rivers states. The Igbo culture and traditions are filled with many colourful ceremonies that distinguish them from the other tribes in Nigeria. Igba Nkwu Nwanyi is one of the many colourful traditions of the Igbo people, and its intricacies vary from one area to another.
