The history of Igbo land has drawn the attention of several scholars, both professional and nonprofessional historians. One noticed characteristic of the works of these scholars is that they are yet to agree on a generally accepted origin of the Igbo people, unlike the Hausa and the Yoruba, where most scholars agree that their founders migrated from outside Africa. While scholars continue on their search for a generally accepted Igbo origin, most of the works on Onitsha, a prominent community in Igbo land hold a very popular view that its founders migrated from Benin, in modern Edo State of Nigeria. It is against this backdrop that Ikechukwu Aduba’s book: History of Igboland and a Re-appraisal of the Origin of Onicha Ado N’idu is an uncommon piece of work made up of seven chapters. The author through diverse data collected made insightful exposition of the history, migration, socio-economic and political development of the Igbo and Onitsha from the earliest times to 2014.
