www.vanguardngr.com/2012/07/communal-clash-enugu-closes-schools/ Well,it would appear that Ette is not really an Igalla town, but a sort of multi ethnic town, with Igbo,Idoma and Igalla elements. A melting point of 3 cultures, that's big for a small town. |

Apparently, the Igalla elements of the town, want the town to be in Kogi, to sort of give them greater power in the town,seeing as there are more Igallas in Kogi. A move that would render the Igbo and Idoma elements as minorities. And it would appear that this battle is not recent, but have been on for decades now. |

Lordlexyy: Etteh is my community. Boundary wise, the community is situated in Enugu state. In terms of culture, it has very little in connection with the Idomas and not the Igalas. The language spoken are predominantly Idoma. Igbo language comes second for areas that are regarded as igbos. Igala language is meanly spoken by some few who believe they are Igalas. To be honest, the Etteh community ideologically believes they are Igbos and has very little in connection to both the Igalas and the Idomas. You find most of the people there speaking the three languages fluently and intermix very well. This whole crisis of identity wouldn't have surfaced in the first place if the not for some of the Igbos and their culture of segregation where others are regarded more Igbos than the others. The same people will say Enugu or Ebonyi is not pure Igbo but 'wawa', some Enugu will say Etteh is not pure Igbo but a mixture of two. If Etteh was long embrace and made to feel among by the Igbos, none of this cultural conflict would have surface. Those minority group wanting to joint Kogi are doing so because they felt they majority are more recognised and therefore benefit more by the Enugu gov't. Inspite of the upheaval, i believe the brotherliness and oneness of Etteh is beyond culture, language or tribe. PROUDLY ETTEH. I see, i guess this would be the reason i do get this feeling that you are not really Igbo,when i read your posts. Eventually you would have to chose to be Igbo, Idoma, or Igalla. There is no siting on the fence,you are either Igbo or you are not,it's as simple as that. 3 Likes |

I can see u are also benefiting from the Enugu setting. How can you say those wanting to join Kogi are the minority. sincerely want have you benefited from Enugu can you even be bold enough to say you are Enugu when you go outside that is your school or work place.

Unfortunately bro, ethnicity matters and ranks ahead of Christianity( a foreign religion) and Nigeria( a colonial anomaly). We are Africans, ethnicity matters, it could even be the deciding factor on whether you live or die in certain situations. *grins* |

How can you say those wanting to join Kogi are the minority. sincerely want have you benefited from Enugu can you even be bold enough to say you are Enugu when you go outside that is your school or work place. How can you people allow greed take over your hearts.You are confuse. First, i personally benefit nothing from either of the two states. Secondly, you don't decide where you belong. Geographically, we are in Enugu state, we didn't choose to. Thirdly, you don't choose who is more Igbo or Igala. They people can decide which side they want to belong base on natural inclination or sense of belonging. They have have lived and thrive successfully for many years independently without the government. So, if you think all of this is to attract attention from the Enugu gov't, you must be mistaken here. Needlessly to say that, it's the same Enugu gov't right from Jim who have been lobbying to see that we remain as one in Enugu state. |

ekolina: FYI. Igbos are not part of Ette community. Not long ago, you made it appear like Igallas are the only group in ette, but i remembered reading an article some years ago about an Idoma community in Enugu, so i did a little digging and found out that Etteh is actually an Idoma dominant community with Igbos and Igallas as minorities.

Chill bro, when it comes to ethnic issues, no one is ever neutral, not even amongst the whites, so you can stop trying to sell the detribalized ish, as no one is buying it, not even Jesus was detribalized. Matt 15:21-28, you can't be more spiritual than Jesus. Not long ago, you easily accepted as the truth,a false and image tarnishing story about Ndiigbo that an Edo friend sold to you, you didn't even take time to research and find out if it were the truth, you couldn't care, because you simply are not Igbo. I doubt if you would have accepted that story if it were Idoma image that was on the line. 4 Likes |
