adamskutty: Mr man, i repeat, i am not an igbo guy, rather i am from Plateau state, i am d op of this thread. i happened to have lived in d south for so many years and even Kogi too. First of all, i can see that u are an igala muslim, one with hausa ancestry for that matter. But have u ever been to the southern parts of Igala land like Omala, Olamaboro & Ibaji? many of the igalas from this axis have no difference with igbos. Many of them speak igbo as a second language. Most of d igalas i have come acrosa are from the southern axis, and if u dare tell any of them that they are more related to hausas than igbos, they can give u a very dirty slap. Igala land does not share boundary with yoruba land or Hausa land, but it does with Igbo land,, so how can u now claim thatt igalas are closer to hausas than igbos? check igala history here on wikipedia and show me where hausa fulani links come in http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attah_of_Igala 3 Likes |

dablazor: I really want to believe that urself ad Adamskutty are igala muslims, hence u both will because of islam claim that u are more related with hausas & yorubas, but read this...... ANAMBRA IS THE ANCESTRAL HOME OF IGALAS By C. XRYDZ-EYUTCHAE It was Professor Anta Diop of Senegal who observed that ethnic groups often do not realize the extent to which they share kinship with the language, culture, traditions and historical socio-political structures, evolved by communities they have come to view as rivals. Indeed ethnic groups tend to see themselves as self-enclosed communities. But as an example are the Luluas of Kenya aware of their kingship with the Luluas of Senegal?By the same token how many of us in Nigeria are aware that Anambra State is the ancestral home of theIgalas, Ngwas, Jukuns and Binis? Yet it remains historically true that Anambra State is the birth place of the founding fathers of Bendel, Imo and Benue States. Hence in language classification these separated people speak a common language which forms part of Kwa group of West African languages. From Archeological discoveries at Ugwuele near Okigwe dating their existence to some ages follows that the Igbos were descendants of the first men of earth now traced to the Oduvai Gorge in East Africa. Inhistorical literature, the Igbos, originally known as Iduus had their territorial distribution covering South west of the African continent later converging at the whole of the low lying land mass North and South of the Niger and Benue river confluence, down the Niger and Anambra River basins right down to the Niger Delta and westward to River Okpara beyond Lagos as shown in Rev. Johnson’s map in his history of the Yorubas. Later the low land dwellers were characterized as the Olu and the highlanders as the Igbo.TraditionWaves of migratrants led by Eri settled at Anambra River basin, establishing the ancient Iduu Ime KINGDOM at Aguleri. Historical traditions relate that his progenitors included Agulu and Menri (from who were descended the Nri), Igbo, Igala, Oba (whose descendants were the Binis) Enuike and a daughter, Ulu-uwa.Igbo, an itinerant missionary acquired large Iduu followers who became known as Igbo people thus losing their Iduu identity just as followers of Christ arecalled Christians whether they came from Rome, London or Bonn. Eris other descendant Menri established a priestly kingdom at Nri known for purification ceremonies andcoronation of tributary of Iduu Ime kingdom. Hence, the Eze Nri Obalike (Nri kings (1989-1935) in the first decade of the 20th century told the Government Anthropologist, Northcote Thomas, that the area subject to him was Iduu. On the same matter Lawton wrote:“A marked feature of this (Nri) tribe is its hostility to the European, natural enough, when it is remembered that prior to the British, the Obalike was Eze Nri and crowned the kings of Benin and presided over all the religious observation of surrounding peoples”.It was the tradition that coronation titles were usually conferred on tributary kings by the ancestral Iduu Ime kingdom which also assigned to each a General as head of the palace guards. Hence in honour of their ancestor, Atta the ruler of Igala was titled Atta of Igala. The founders of Benin were the descendants of Oba Eri whose habitation was UgwuOgodo where exists today, the Ogodo spring in Umuleri, near Aguleri. Hence the Binis in modem times still trace their ancestry of “Igodo” a corruption of Ogodo, an Igbo word for elevated place. Hence the first king of Benin, Iweka (anglicized to Eweka) was titled Oba in honour of their ancestor, Oba Eri. Eweka is English spelling of Iweka just as the letter E in England is pronounced I, This name Iweka an Igbo name in full means Iweka n’uno. It reflected the internal feud at the time the-would-be king was born. His second name was Edoziuno, Edo for short, meaning peace maker, thus was derived Edo Kingdom.The name Benin itself was a corruption of the Igbo words. 'llo obi inu', meaning a place of bitter mindedness, again reflecting the quarrelsomeness of the people at that time over kingship disputes. To the first Benin king was assigned General Ado from Iduu Ime as head of his palace guards. According to the tradition of the people, Egbunike, the founding father of the Ogbunikes has three brothers, Awkuzu, Umuleriand Nando and a sister, Nwonicha. General Ado who was assigned to the Oba of Benin, married Nwonicha and the marriage resulted in such progenies as Onitsha Ado, Ado Ekiti etc. Background The Marriage formed the basis of the link between Ogbunike and Onitsha, thus giving the historical background to the Igbo adage which says: “Afuzi Onicha, Ogbunike ewelu,” meaning in the absence of Onitsha, Ogbunike takes its turn. When therefore Eze Chima, a descendant of General Ado in his flight with others, first from Benin, then from Agbor, named his son Onitsha, in honour of their maternal ancestors, and established Onitsha Ugbo and Onitsha Olona and the entire Umu Ezechima being referred to as Onitsha Ado, the origin of nomenclature cannot therefore be inserious doubt. The Igalas who are descendants of Atta Eri had their ancestral home in Aguleri in the area of Ama Atta (Atta-in-the-fields). Igala was said to be the father of Ikem and was reputed to have such descendants as Omor, Omasi and Umuneke. The Ikems had sometimes settled in Umukete Agukeri, whose descendants were supposed to be the Ikem of Nando, Ikems in Nsukka, Ikems in Onitsha and other areas.It is relevant to note that in a preliminary statement onthe excavation made in Aguleri by the Department of History and Archaeology, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Dr. F.N. Anozie said that the excavation took place at a site known as “Okpuno Igala”; and that is known to everybody including school children in Aguleri as a deserted Igala settlement. He said, there were sites with walls, one deserted and the other still inhabited by a group of Aguleri people, who during theauthor’s filed work in the area said they had blood relations with the Igalas. At the approach is the Ama Atta which seemed to have once been a village square. Almost at the centre of the enclosure is a mound known as “Ukpo eze” (kings throne” and North–East of the mound is the Owelle Atta (toilet area) and Ajo Agu Atta (cemetery).The present Umukete people in Aguleri who claim blood relationship with the Igala people have their village walled, and traces of the wall could still be seen today. When an elderly man from this group was asked by excavators from the University the relationship between them and the Igalas, he said that the father of Igala and Igbo were sons of the same parents and that whenever anybody from Umukete went to Idah he normally would go to greet the Atta or the King. The greeting usually went as follows: “Ata abikibo bie takata bie Igala” which translates the lgbo saying that “Igbo is senior to Atta and Atta begot lgala.This is also reflected in the lgbo saying that: lgbo mulu Atta, mana Atta mulu lgala.” This oneness of lgbo and lgala is also reflected in lgbo adage which says “Alusi lgbo jebe mbana, obulu, alusi obodo lgala”which interprets that the spirits of lgbo-land in transit constitutes the spirit of lgalaland. Those who still doubt the common ancestry of lgbo and lgala could refresh their memory with this popular lgbo adage which says, “ Egbusia lgbo nine, lgbo afodukwa na lgala”, meaning even if all lgbos are wiped out of existence, the lgbos still remain in lgalaland. As with lgala, so is ldoma, who still have remnants of ancestors of ldoma community in Aguleri. |

Eddyken: Mr Man, Southern Kaduna is very much part of the middlebelt. Many ppl usually make the mistake to think that middlebelt is just north central alone, but no, the wider definition of the middlebelt encompasses most of the other northern minority groups outside north- central, including Southern Kaduna, Taraba, parts of Adamawa e.t.c. During any gathering of middlebelt groups, southern kaduna is always present. we have had national middlebelt leaders from Southern Kaduna. middlebelt is not just north-central alone, it is a human geographical definition of the vast stretch of minority groups of central Nigerian region and not just a geo-polittical zone. pls get that. 1 Like |

adamskutty: U have made a very great mistake by saying this. Igalas cannot be dominantly muslims, no way! Unless it is not the igala land or igalas i know. I have been to all the 9 LGAs of Kogi state where igalas are found and the only LGA i can agree where igala muslims outnumber igala christians is in Ankpa LGA (ur LGA as u say), probably this is why u say igala muslims are more. In Ibaji LGA, u hardly find an igala muslim, igalas here are 95% christian, have u ever been to Ibaji? Most other igala LGAs, are either 50/50 or the christians are slightly more, is it in Idah, Ofu, Omala, Olamaboro, Dekina, igala muslims cannot be more than the christians. 2 Likes |
