Fulani are minority in every state, just less than 1.5 million people in Nigeria. The population of the smallest local government in Oyo state is bigger than all the whole Fulani people.

You are wrong. However, Ebonyi People are presently claiming they are not Igbo. If this happen, that means Igbo land will only be Abia and Imo States with half of Enugu State only.

The name is Ette ward 1 and 2

Nsukka lga has no boundary with kogi state, so how can they have igala

The Three LGAs that have boundary with kogi are uzo uwani , Igbo Eze south and igbo Eze North,. The kogites that live at the boundary area with each of these LGAs speak Igbo and that is why some igbos believe there are igbos in kogi state . Only Igbo Eze North have none Igbo speaking tribe within her border and they speak idoma but bounded with kogi/igala community call ogwugwu.
Igbo is not widely spoken in ogwugwu as other kogi tonws on the border because the idoma speaking Ette of Igbo Eze North lie between the kogi igalas and the igbos.

All the rich men in Anambra are Igala. Including Charles Soludo. Others are Igbo from Abia, Imo and some parts of Enugu. Who came to Anambra to hustle.

There are no Igbos in Enugu state. All of us are remnants of the lost people from Kwara state.

Enugu and Ebonyi have suffered in the region. grin
Even Umahi once spoke out about the discrimination and said they will never be part of Biafria. And of course IPOB once confirmed that Ebonyi people do not behave like Igbos.

My friend from Ekiti said same thing, he has ran to ebonyi to survive. He says they are discriminating against him because of his own dialect.
