He is an Anambra man simple.

The news should have being that a man from a minority tribe in Anambra was appointed a commissioner.

While the Governor deserves an applause for this, I am not exactly sure how this qualifies as history.

Hopefully Edo State can do the same for the Minorities like the Ijaws in Gelegele,and Bayelsa the same for the Urhobo's from Bayelsa State too.

Even the tiny igala in anambra has been igbonised they speak Igbo there ....

Eri is said to be the original legendary cultural head of the Umu-eri groups of the Igbo people. (Igbo: Chukwu). It is possible Eri migrated from Israel Jewish land and established a community in the middle of Anambra river valley (at Eri-aka) in Aguleri where he married two wives. The first wife, Nneamakụ, bore him five children. The first was Agulu, the founder of Aguleri (The ancestral head of Eri Kingdom clans) (the Ezeora dynasty that has produced 34 kings till date in Enugwu Aguleri), the second was Menri, the founder of Umunri / Kingdom of Nri, followed by Onugu, the founder of Igbariam and Ogbodulu, the founder of Amanuke. The fifth one was a daughter called Iguedo, who is said to have borne the founders of Nteje, and Awkuzu, Ogbunike, Umuleri, Nando and Ogboli in Onitsha. As one of the children of Eri, Menri migrated from Aguleri, which was and still is, the ancestral temple of the entire Umu-Eri (Umu-Eri and Umu-Nri). His second wife Oboli begot Ọnọja, the only son who founded the Igala Kingdom in Kogi State.[1]

FACT: Igalas are the aborigines of Anambra - the Igbos are visitors.

Yyeske:
This shouldn't be news na, we've always been same Anambrarians and having no problem with each other. All the Igalas from Anambra I know speak Igbo very well and having Igbo first names, several are in the state's civil service with same right as Igbos there so no biggie.
Congratulations to the young man and please make our state proud just as our working governor is doing.
