Some Basic Facts About the Igbo Land Online Shopping Store
Markets
The Igbos had, as early as the 9th Century a sophisticated
society with surpluses of wealth supporting considerable Compare, Buy & Save for all
Netbuyer craft specialization, including a highly developed Bronze
Art and Copper Works.
The earliest evidence for the use of copper and its alloys
comes from Igbo Ukwu in Igboland.
By the late 20th century, the Igbos numbered more than
27 million people; there are more Igbos than there are
Canadians; there are more Igbos than there are people in
Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, and Luxembourg
combined.
Although the Igbos believed in the earth goddess and
other deities and spirits, they have always believed in a
creator God--Chukwu, Obasi, Chi, or Chineke. This means that the concept of monotheism was not
introduced by the Europeans as many people
wrongfully believe.
Traditionally, Igbo societies have been democratic and
therefore, democracy can neither be alien to the Igbos, nor
can it be considered a Western phenomenon.
In 1929, Igbo women protested, demonstrated, and
actually confronted British soldiers in Aba to show their
rejection of British colonial tax. Many hundreds of these
courageous women were mowed down by colonial
machine gun fire.
By 1906, most of the ancient empires and states of West
Africa had been subjected to colonial rule with the
exception of Igboland. The British fought the Igbos for
over two decades and never quite successfully conquered
them.
Although the indirect rule introduced by the British was
readily accepted in almost other parts of Nigeria, the Igbos
rejected this system for over two decades.
