Amaigbo

Amaigbo is an Igbo town in the forested country east of the Niger. Many communities of the Isuama Igbo trace their origins to Amaigbo, whose name has been interpreted as the Igbo square. Its villages form part of a wider landscape of farms and neighbouring settlements, where kinship groups and local traditions shape community life. Yams hold a prominent place in the agricultural life and ceremonies of the region.

The later city of Aba also lies here.
