Igbo Nigerians like to do things the “Igbo way”. It’s like sometime way back Igbo people held a meeting and made a checklist for being Igbo. So asides the obvious tradition being upheld there is also a culture that comes with being Igbo. Here are 5 things every Igbo Nigerian has done, will do, or will keep doing.

1. Born with a name from this list.
