The digraph "gb" represents a single sound, an implosive "b" in Igbo speech as distinct from the explosive "b" of English. English speakers usually substitute their normal "b" pronouncing the name "Ee-bow", plural "Ee-bowz". The Igbo People. The Igbos live in the forest and meadowland immediately north of the Niger River Delta. Their numbers are estimated to be over seven millions, ranking them with the Yoruba and Hausa people of Nigeria as the most populous in Africa. Over one million Igbos live west of the Niger River where they have been historically influenced by the Kingdom of Benin. The majority of Igbos live east of the Niger, however. They occupy a territory known in 1965 as the Eastern Region of Nigeria, and in 1966 as the Eastern Provinces of Nigeria. In May 1967 the peoples of this area, mainly Igbo, declared themselves the independent Republic of Biafra, a declaration still being contested militarily by Nigeria at the time of this writing (July, 1968). Historically the Igbos never developed centralized kingdoms as in Benin or large urban centers as in Yoruba country. Before the British Colonial Government (1900) the highest Igbo political authority was the village group, numbering as large as 5,000. The Igbos consist of over 200 autonomous groups with significant variation in dialects, customs, and social institutions from place to place. . . .
