One outstanding feature about the Ibo speaking people of Nigeria is their love for one another and their level of
cooperation particularly in business matters.
The typical Igbo man has one of two choices after leaving primary school. They choose to go to high school or choose
to learn a trade.
However, he does this without complaining because of the reward he expects after the period of apprenticeship. What
is the reward?
After five years or more of faithful service in the business of the master, he is ready to start out on his own. The
customary thing is that the master will split a part of his business for the young man. Typically, he will . . .
generally set him up to run his own business
In summary, the Igbo man who chooses business at the expense of a higher education graduates prepared to be self-employed.
He does not go searching for jobs because his training has taught him how to be his own boss.
In view of the tough labour market in Nigeria, many Ibo speaking youths are turning to trading as opposed to education.
The authorities in the east are worried about the development and are churning out incentives to encourage young
people to return to formal schools.
There are two categories of Ibo speaking people - the core Igbos in the east and the Ibos in the Niger delta area.
The Igbos in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria are mostly in Delta state in areas like Agbor, Asaba, Oshimili, Ndokwa, and Oguashi.
My wife is from the Oguashi area of Delta state and speaks Ibo pretty well even though she was born and bred in Lagos
Nigeria.
That is another thing you should love the Igbo people for . . . they love their language and speak it with passion
just like the Yorubas of the western part of Nigeria.
Know something about the Igbo people you will like to share? Do you know their history? Or their culture? Or any
