With the following words, Fada Jọn Ụkaegbu begins his introduction of Igbology.

quote:
Original and renowned world civilizations like Egyptology are associated with river deltas and basins. Just as Egyptology deals with the Egyptian Civilization and Heritage, and owes much to the Nile delta, so does Igbology focus on the Niger Delta Civilization and Heritage. In other words, Igbo civilization is a gift of the Niger in the sense that Egypt is said to be a gift of the Nile. As the earliest and oldest world civilizations developed around river basins and deltas, so did there develop a vibrant and dynamic cultural heritage and civilization around the Niger Delta.

Igbology promises to be a fascinating area of scholarly activity.
