The history of the Igbo people is a complex subject, and it's challenging to pinpoint a definitive origin. The Igbo's roots are deep, and each subgroup within the Igbo community has its unique history. While some may claim a connection to the Jewish people, it's essential to recognize that the term "Igbo" didn't exist before the early 19th century.

The concept of the Igbo as a tribe, or ethnic group, began to take shape in the early 20th century. Before then, the term "Igbo" was not widely used, and people identified more with their specific subgroups and local affiliations. The formation of the Igbo as a cohesive ethnic identity evolved over time through cultural, linguistic, and historical commonalities among various Igbo-speaking communities.

The central Igbo language was established through collaborative efforts and standardization by linguists and language enthusiasts within the Igbo community in the early 20th century. It involved a process of linguistic development and consensus among various Igbo-speaking groups to create a unified form of the language.

The Igbo nation stands as one of the most robust and united nations in Africa, with our strength stemming from the richness of our diversity.
