Igbo
Medlemmer af igbofolket
Igbo (nogle gange Ndi Igbo) er en af de større etniske grupper i Afrika. Den tæller mellem 15–30 millioner mennesker. De fleste bor i det sydøstlige Nigeria, hvor det er en af de største etniske grupper, og er inddelt i mange undergrupper [1]. Igbo findes også i stort antal i Cameroun og Ækvatorialguinea. En mindre del af dem bor i andre afrikanske lande og i lande uden for Afrika, dels på grund af udvandring, dels som følge af slavehandel. Antallet i Afrika er ukendt. Igboerne taler igbo (igbo: Asụsụ Igbo), som omfatter hundredvis af dialekter og igboidsprog.
