Religious Background

Igbo is one of the largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. The Igbo are also called the Ibo. About 27 million Igbo live mainly in southeastern Nigeria. They occupy Nigeria's highland plains, coastal areas, and tropical forests and valleys along the Niger River. Most Igbo make their living as farmers. Yams are their main crop. They also grow taro and cassava. The Igbo language has many dialects, reflecting a diverse and widespread population.

Igbo and Coronavirus 

Before the 1900s, the Igbo lacked a strong identity as a unified ethnic group. Some historians believe that the ancestors of the Igbo migrated to their present lands from regions farther north and west within the last few centuries. But archaeological evidence suggests that the Igbo have lived in their present area since prehistoric times.

The Igbo had religious groups and workers in specialized trades

Foreign aid and  remittances  (money sent home) from Jamaicans working abroad are helpful sources of national income. Tourism also provides much income for the nation.

Other crop products include bananas, citrus fruits, coconuts, coffee, and yams. Farmers raise beef cattle, chickens, goats, and hogs.

religious background;   Church and state   is a term that refers to the relations between churches and governments. The church-state relationship has been the subject of disagreements and conflicts throughout history. Today, the  separation of church and state  is a central principle of government in the United States and some other democracies. It seeks to protect religious freedom and to prevent discrimination or exclusion on the basis of religion. About three-fifths of the French people belong to the  Roman Catholic Church . Only a minority, however, regularly participate in religious worship; practice is greatest among the middle classes. The northwest (Brittany-Vendée), the east (Lorraine,  Vosges ,  Alsace ,  Jura ,  Lyonnais , and the northern Alps), the north (Flanders), the  Basque Country , and the region south of the  Massif Central  have a higher percentage of practicing Roman Catholics than the rest of the  country .
