ABSTRACT

This study had examined a history of Igbuzor people, Igbuzor cultural heritage, the socio-economic and political organization and the emergence of colonial rule in Igbuzor and the effect of colonial rule on Igbuzor society. Ibusa, originally known as Ibuzor, is a town on the first mountain plain west on the River Niger from Asaba. It consists of ten large united villages, with their boundaries sometimes not very distinct due to their closeness and mutual understanding of the indigenes. The Igbo people are known for their segmentary or acephalous way of life, having no centralized states and operating without kings. They are predominantly farmers and traders, with a common basic culture in their language and political system based on decentralization of power and delegation of authority. The Igbo people have a rich history of trade, blacksmithing, and cloth making, with yam being the king of all crops. They exchange their farm produce in internal and external market structures, and engage in various activities for leisure and business. Religion is another significant aspect of Igbo society, with the belief in a Supreme being called Chukwu and Alusi.
