This is the photo of an IGBO man in 1900 who is a weaver (IGBOS were masters of weaving and cloth making) and the write up is the description of the IGBOS made by the British colonialists.

A british man known as H. H. Johnston would on the 12th of November 1888, describe the IGBOS to the Royal Geographical Society of Britain and this was what he said : (For Those who doubt , let them research about it )

“The Ibos are exceedingly industrious people.
They weave grass-cloth, and display a very marked esthetic taste in the designing of their implements and textile fabrics, and in the interior decoration of their houses, in all of which, and in their social arrangements, they are greatly superior to the degraded coast tribes, who seem to have lost their ancient culture, and have not yet become thoroughly imbued with European civilisation.

They are clever smiths, and make a good many implements from the iron which they smelt themselves from the soil, in their primitive forges. The Ibos I look upon as the promising tribe of the delta, It is they, at present, who create the trade; Ijos and Kwos-their neighbours on the south and westward towards benin are but middlemen, non-producers. The Ibos are industrious agriculturists, and have fine herds of cattle, goats, and sheep, and quantities of fowls and ducks.”
