The origin, history, worldview of the Igbo, one of the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria, is shrouded in mystery. Also, there is the controversy about who really are the Igbo, their institutions, political organisation, and relationships with their neighbours. The book not only unravels these mysteries, but also brings to focus contributions made by the Igbo, both at home and in the Diaspora, towards global peace and development. The book also chronicles the travails of the Igbo in Nigeria and recommends that the Igbo should stop lamenting their fate and start reconstructing and expanding their economy if they want to regain their lost glory.
