THE PHENOMENUM OF INTER-GROUP RELATIONS BETWEEN THE ANNANG AND IGBO ETHNIC GROUPS FROM 1959 THROUGH 1970

Abstract

The study is an academic contribution towards inter-group relations which existed among the various peopling of present Nigeria before the coming of the British colonial rule; with Annang-Igbo as its focal point. This became necessary owing to the fact that attention have not been given to how these groups interacted in pre-colonial times, as well as to help further debunk the erroneous views given by Euro-centric scholars that African existed in isolation.  Through secondary and primary sources, the paper has given a historical illustration on how both groups interacted. Some of the major factors of contact for them were marriage, trade and commerce, warfare and diplomacy, language, migration, as well as trado-religious institutions. It is important to note that while they had a robustq1 relations, there were still reports of skirmishes among them however, wars were never endemic but another means for their continuous relationship.  In sum then, the Annang-Igbo inter-group relations in pre-colonial times, is one example of the numerous relationships that existed among the various peopling that make up what is today Nigeria.
