The Aro people or Aros of
West Africa, is an ethnic group who originated in
Arochukwu. A mix of
Akpa,
Ibibio, and
Igbo groups, they speak a quite different dialect. They are mostly found in
Nigeria and scattered throughout 300 settlements but can be found from the
Niger Delta area to present-day
Gabon. Most Aro settlements in Nigeria are in the Niger Delta and throughout lands bordering the
Benue. The Aros today are mostly classified as
Cross River Igbos due to their culture and the language they speak. Their god, Ibini Ukpabi, was a key factor in Aro migration and intermarriage during slave trade.
