IGARRA not to be mistaken for IGALA, although out close relatives is a tribe in Akoko-edo local government of Edo state.
We are the only tribe in Edo state whose language has no resemblance to the other tribes in Edo state lyk benin,esan etc. We are basically the odd balls. The "tribe" closest to us who we understand is the Ebira tribe locally close by in Kogi. Infact we shud b in Kogi state.
I want my fellow tribes men/women to identify with our brothers/sisters in Ebira more cos we are one. Our language is a dialet of Ebira, our culture is the same etc. The reason y many dont lyk identifyin with Ebira is due to religion. We are mainly christian(over 70percent) and they are mostly muslims.
We shud get past that and stop dividing ourselves and unite wit our pips in kogi,nassarawa,benue,sokoto cos united ψє stand. If we unite we will easily b in the top 5 most populous tribes in the country.
LONG LIVE IGARRA PEOPLE,LONG LIVE THE IGBIRRA NATION.

What is spoken in Igarra is known as Etuno and it is not a dialect of Ebira. Igarra is a dialect of the Oshuku Language. It is a misnomer to think or assume that Igarra is a subset of Ebira just because of the higher population of Ebira people. This is very fallacious. In certain parts of Benue, Taraba and particularly in a town called Okuku in Cross River State, the language spoken is very similar to Etuno Language and these peoples of these other states mentioned are not and have never been described as Ebiras. The word Ebira is applicable to only those in Kogi State. This recent attempt to impose it as the generic name as against the correct Oshuku appellation is politically motivated and championed by the Kogi State dwellers just to seek greater political relevance at the center. Igarra is not an Ebira town. In fact the Ebiras who live in Igarra do form Ebira Unions meaning they themselves acknowledge that they are not in Ebiraland.
In addition, there is an Ebira Quarters in Igarra where Ebiras live separately just as they have them in other towns like Auchi, Ososo, etc. If they were same people as Igarrans, they wouldn't have isolated themselves to live in a separate part of the town.
