The correct thing is Igbo.. Ibo is the western spelling of it. This kind of thing appears all the time. In igbo, and hausa especially.

It depends on who you interacting with.
If you interacting with the westerners, better say yiibo, if you say igbo they might mistook it for indian hemp.


Generally, igbo is the right word.
