I have never read or come across any information that suggests that the Aro Confederacy (limited to southeast Nigeria in most convenitional history books) had any influence in Cameroon or Equatorial Guinea. I believe this needs to be removed.


[edit] It was said to they had 300 communities in Nigeria, Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea

It is cited in a deleted source. Some Igbos were great travellers though and it could be assumed that the Aro business had little present in Cameroon and perhaps Equatorial Guinea (Igbo is a common language there) during pre-Colonial times. Some Aro historians also say so.
