Geographically, they are located between latitude 5 to 7 degrees north and longitude 6 to 8 degrees east, occupying an area of about twenty thousand square kilometers. Today in present Nigeria, the Igbos occupy the States of Imo, Anambra, Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi, while yet a significant number are included in the Rivers and Delta States. Its population density is estimated to be around 750 to 1000 in a square kilometer, while they number totally about 40 million in a Nigeria of about 150 million inhabitants. Cf.
