Igbo

However, the Igbo mainly live in the southeastern part of Nigeria. They prefer the area east of the Niger where there are both rainforests and savannas.

Religion

The Igbo are very religious people. They worship a benevolent creator and several minor deities. There are also many divine secondary powers. The Igbo try to manipulate these deities to perform various services for them. For example, they ask for help when someone needs to be protected or call upon the deities for their own purposes.
The Igbo people mainly engage in agriculture. Rubber and oil palm plants are their main sources of income. However, they are also known as traders in many parts of the country.

Lifestyle

The traditional foods are cassava and yams as well as a lot of fish. The Igbo were educated to a greater extent than other ethnic groups in Nigeria through missionary schools and thus had the opportunity to receive better training. This enabled many Igbo to occupy good positions in various administrative posts. They also fill other demanding positions.
