While it's not an official language of Nigeria, it is the third most spoken language in the country, with a large number of speakers concentrated in the southeastern region.
There are also Igbo speakers in other countries, including:
* Cameroon: A small number of Igbo speakers live in the southeastern part of Cameroon, bordering Nigeria.
* Equatorial Guinea: A few Igbo speakers are found in the island of Bioko.
* Gabon: There are a small number of Igbo speakers in the coastal areas of Gabon.
* Other Diaspora communities: Igbo is also spoken in diaspora communities around the world, particularly in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and other countries where Nigerians have migrated.
However, it's important to note that the number of speakers outside of Nigeria is significantly smaller compared to the number of speakers within the country.
