Histories about Achi
The archive links no published history to Achi yet. Its neighbours’ histories are not shown here, because a link to another community is not a history of this one.
Named in other records
Histories that mention Achi
These are published records whose own words name Achi. A mention is not a history of Achi, which is why they are listed here rather than with the histories about it.
Read as: Achi. Counted where the name is written with a capital, because a lower-case occurrence of a name that is also an ordinary word is the word.

The group is counted in the northern section of the eastern uplands, the old settlement area focused at or near Nsukka, whose northern part the Igala overran and altered culturally and which developed an elaborate political structure with a graded title system and village headship under an Eze. Forde & Jones record no towns, no migration tradition and no relationship with neighbouring groups for Achi.
