How to use this calendar
• In the Calendar, the big bold black numbers are the Igbo days
• Igbo month is 28 stable days whilst the Gregorian one shift from 28 to 31 days
• Whilst Igbo month ends on 28th day, the Western one continues until it clocks either 30 to 31 days.
• Igbo months and Western months only aligns every 112 years, the last was 2012.
• There is no evidence to suggest Igbo celebrate New Year day, this is a Western construct
• Igbo celebrates every month independently
• There is a festival on the 3rd Afo day welcoming the Aro Ofuu but note that this is not exactly the first Aro day.
• Igbo months circle between Afo and Nkwo which is when they are either starting or ending
• It is not year 2019 for the Igbo who have been in existence for much longer
• 4 days makes an Igbo IZU, 91 IZU is contained in Igbo year. 28 days makes up Onwa Igbo (month), 364 days
make up Igbo year. There are 13 months that make up ARO Igbo (Igbo year).
• Please note that December 31, 2019 ends on Tue Eke day as a result 1 January 2020 should naturally be Wed Orie
but according to igbocalendar.com 1 January 2020 is recorded as Afo instead of Orie day.
