Buying and selling is an essential part of the Igbo tradition. The Igbo market is not a “one price tag” says it all, it is a bargaining place. People beat the prices down until they get the right price. Igbos are generally known as farmers and craftsmen. They plant and reap their produce. Most of these produce or products end up in the market where they are sold at a reasonably bargained price.

Giving and asking for directions have become part of our daily lives. It’s either one is giving or asking for directions. Somebody can give or ask for directions when one gets lost, creating ideas, building crafts, or other aspects of life.

Among the Igbos, when someone is sick, it also literally affects his relatives. That is why it is said that sickness is not only a physical occurrence but also a social fact. Individuals who do not show concern for a sick friend or relative are usually seen as being bad. Sometimes relatives pull resources together to help a sick relative seek medical treatment. In the rural areas, where most people have limited access to hospitals, they rely heavily on traditional medicine for their health needs. Some people in the urban areas still consider traditional treatment as the first option when they are sick. It is not uncommon for people to combine the two systems of healing when they are sick. Others resort to religious sects for healing
