title: Projecting Igbo population to the year 2000 and beyond.
abstract: "This study addresses the issues and the consequences of the growth of [the] Igbo population [of Nigeria] from the pre-colonial period to the year 2000 and beyond; it reveals that though the political crises of the Nigerian Civil War have reduced the tempo of the growth of the population, the high fertility rate observed in Igbo society will over time lead to a rapid recovery in the growth of the population."
