Ichi is a town in Anambra State, Nigeria. It is located about 15 miles south of Onitsha and has a population of about 958,000. Geographically, falls within the tropical rainforest region of the world. And as such, it suffers from soil leaching and soil erosion. In spite of these factors, which have reduced the soil to a porous sandy terrain, her citizens have survived this harshness through subsistence type of agriculture and trading. Prior to this period, an elaborate network of trade routes emerged over the centuries linking them to the coastal region, the riverine Igbos, and the entire Igbo mainland (Oru na Igbo)
