Abia State is
inhabited by the lgbo. The lgbo language is spoken throughout the State;
Abia State is richly endowed culturally. This is evident in the people's
mode of dressing, dancing, arts and crafts, as well as festivals and the
widely known lgbo traditional hospitality. The traditional apparel for
the men is an over-flowing jumper or long-sleeve shirt worn over a
"George" wrapper tied around the waist and flowing down to the ankles.
This dress is complemented with a cap and a walking stick for support
and defence. For the women, the traditional wear is a blouse over an
"Abada" or "George", around the waist. This outfit goes with a headgear,
bearings and necklace.
