GreyLaw: This one is a d00fus Doesn't even understand the concept of pre-colonial states Igalas were organized and structured. The Igbo states were very decentralized making them easy to conquer. It also helps that Eri is from Igala, so they used religion as a tool to rule over Northern Igbos 1 Like |

gwafaeziokwu: This was exactly the same thing the Brit's did to king jaja of opobo. The man was too powerful for the Brit's, he was controlling Trade coming to the Atlantic Ocean part of Rivers (note that the Niger deltans were first to relate with the Europeans as far back as 1500 within entire Nigerian. And the Europeans then we're the Portuguese not even the Brit's, and they were strictly coming for business) even in my igbo language what we call a fair person is onyeocha potoki, meaning white Portuguese. But the Brit's came differently with evil and greed, this was during the reign of Queen Victoria. King jaja was controlling every Trade coming from the Atlantic part of Rivers. He was too much for the Brit's. They cunningly invited into a ship on the ocean for deal, and arrested him on the boat in the name of Her Majesty Queen Victoria and from there shipped him to West Indies were the poor man later died and was buried. So the Brit's were very cunning, and our igbo people then knew there ways and seriously gave them serious trouble. They couldn't deal with the strong head of igbo man. The north was already under direct rule under the sokoto caliphate including the igalas this guy claims conquered igbos. But in southern Nigeria, the igbo man gave the British serious problem.That's why they so much stood against them even during the civil war. We were really a big problem to them. |

kayfra:Lol @ half Yorubas. Oyos defeat of dahomey was a period consisting few decades. The infamous Ouidah port (the port through which majority of Yoruba slaves were sold off) was founded and controlled by the Fon throughout two centuries. The Fon rather dealt with the Yorubas so much. The Fons have no any roots with the Yorubas. The closest association you have with them is that you guys use the syllable 'gbe' often in your speeches and together you're called the 'the speakers'. |

GreyLaw:Don't mind the crazy OP. He's mischievous and his reference is totally. I took my time to investigate all he posted here and I confirmed his mischief. The piece he posted was written by an Igala man named Michael Achille Umameh and the guy clear wrote that the work is still in progress and anyone can comment or bring suggestions to enhance his work. His references never had the popular Chinua Achebe like the criminal will want us to believe. It was another Achebe that was referenced. The only credible reference he submitted which actually commented on the Igbo/Igala relationship emphasized that it was an equal relationship. That was the one by J.S Boston. The book of N.W Thomas whose pix he was posting all around never discussed anything of such. The man's work was as early as 1913 which was very detailed and it dwelt in the northern fringes of Anambra. He never stated any Igala domination there. Rather, he stated that Awka blacksmiths and Nri priests go as far as Idah to conduct what concerns them on their own free will. The OP is a scam and should be disregarded. In the course of my studies, I stumbled on the work of another European explorer named Joseph Hawkins who visited Igboland in the year 1796. He mentioned a war between the Ebo and Galla in which the Galla were defeated. He wrote a lot of good things about the Igbos. Even others who reviewed his work had eulogies for Igbos. 2 Likes |

kayfra: Can you stop dreaming. This fanaticism to get Igbos on you people's side is already getting scary. Who are you to rewrite history by checking outdated or revised history books for the Igbos. Igbos were never from Igalas, there's been acculturation yes, but the real lineage are from the Jews. Which one be Igala biko nu? 1 Like |

celeiyke: My dear, very true. And if they colonized as they claim, then we wouldn't have been having a language called Igbo, we would have been a scattered nation, there wouldn't even be Igbo as they claim. History isn't fully written there's a reason the great Benin Empire avoided the full south east as they claim, or the Igala empire avoided to conquer the full south east. My conclusion is the south east was and still is powerful in that period, so they couldn't touch the region that's why they avoided it and sought for other places like Yoruba states and the likes. In South east there's been no recorded wars with the Bini or Igala, but they won't comprehend. 1 Like |

You wey dey claim nonsense,just know that the average igala man is not very successful man compared to the igbos .one person in anambra or enugu can feed entire igala village for one year. |

kayfra: So almighty Igalas abandoned their powerful empire then got assimilated into the once subjugated Igbos? Talk about the kings and princes rejecting and abandoning their royalty and kingdoms to become slaves. They traded their superior culture and technologies to become Igbos? Does that make sense to you? |
