Igbo eller ibo (igbo: Ṇ́dị́ Ìgbò) är en av de större etniska grupperna i Afrika, och utgörs av ett tiotal miljoner människor. De flesta igbo bor i sydöstra Nigeria, där de är en av de största etniska grupperna, men samtidigt starkt fragmenterade i olika undergrupper. Igbo finns också i stort antal i Kamerun och Ekvatorialguinea. En mindre del av befolkningen bor i andra afrikanska länder samt i länder utanför Afrika, som följd av invandring och den transatlantiska slavhandeln. Deras exakta antal i Afrika är okänt. Deras språk är igbo (igbo: Ásụ̀sụ́ Ìgbò) som omfattar hundratals olika dialekter och igboidspråk.[9]

Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
