South East Nigeria’s culture is largely defined by the Igbo people, who are known for their rich traditions, vibrant art, diverse cuisine, and strong community ties. Key aspects include the Omenani (traditional religion) centered on ancestors and a supreme deity, a title system like Nze na Ozo for accomplished individuals, and communal celebrations like the New Yam Festival (Erie Ji). The culture features unique music with instruments like the udu and ekwe, distinctive visual arts, and dishes based on staple crops such as yam and cassava.
