Abstract:
Throughout human history the desire to move has been part of man. Migrants leave their homeland for a host community where they intend to find succor. The Igbo people are widely spread throughout Nigeria. A significant number of them migrated to the Western Niger Delta especially Warri. Warri is among the cities in Nigeria that played host to Igbo migrants. Works on migrant communities had not been done in Warri. This work is therefore directed to examine Igbo migration and settlement in Warri. The work examined factors that motivated Igbo migration to Warri and their socio-economic activities in the city. The relationship between the Igbo migrants and the indigenous people of Warri was characterized by peaceful coexistence.
