Which stupid Lokoja is part of Igala kingdom?

Lokoja belongs Oworo, Nupe, Egbira and Some Igala people.

Hope the fake Maigeri of Lokoja whose parents are still in their ancestral village in Katsina can now park his Luggage to his desert and bandits infested village.
How can a Fulani sits in Lokoja's throne when the Yorubas, Egbira, igala or even edos are on ground?

I use to think Lokoja is owned by the bassa

Watching and listening keenly.

Fake news

10 billion who will pay it. Court should stop misleading people.

Ecstacy21:
So surprising. Igala now owns lokoja.
Kotonkarfe, i understand, have the same forefathers with igala but that of lokoja, i don't understand.
With this development, will lokoja and kotonkarfe be referred as kogi east senatorial district or still retain its west' senatorial district??

<b>Court Judgment on status of Lokoja and Ajaokuta: Yoruba World Congress' pronouncement</b>

A purported Court Judgment declaring Lokoja and Ajaokuta as part of the Igala Kingdom. refers.. The Yoruba World Congress, the umbrella body of Yoruba Groups world wide, would like to state as follows:

While we have great admiration for the Igala Kingdom, and HRM, the Attah Igala and that institution, we declare the claims in the judgement as a distortion of very clear history, especially as regards to Lokoja, which is a great ancestral domain of the Oworo People of Lokoja Local Government Area of Kogi State.



The People of Oworo have already made that very clear. Until the creation of Kogi State when the Igala trooped to Kogi enmasse from Benue State how many Igala lived in Lokoja or Ajaokuta for the previous 100 years?

What Igala cultural artefacts did Oworo and Ajaokuta People find? From which Igala ancestors did they beg for land before they dwelt there?

When does coming to trade at an existing market confer ownership of the market to the trader?

The Igala as a People made their marks in history during the Kwararafa era, and also their impact in some part of Eastern Nigeria.are very clear but the Igala affiliation with the western side of the Niger River did not happen until modern times.

The recent "Judgment" appropriating Lokoja and Ajaokuta to that Kingdom is a "strange fire on the altar' and therefore unacceptable to the Yoruba Nation of which the Oworo People are an integral part.

For far too long, we, the Yoruba in the South West have neglected our brothers and sisters, the Okun in Kogi State and the Ilorin, Igbomina, Ibolo and the Jebba axis of Kwara State who were excised through a conspiracy between the British colonial power and the Fulani Emirates of the core North. That has happened partly because of the distortion caused by the said British, in collaboration with the Fulani Jihadists invaders.

In light of this jugdement, it is incumbent on YWC to officially bring in the Yoruba Traditional Leaders led by His Imperial Majesty, The Ooni of Ife and His Imperial Majesty, Iku Baba Yeye, The Alafin of Oyo. We will not stop at that, we shall also deploy the best legal luminaries of the Yoruba extraction to the struggle to rescue our people from this expansionist ploy.

Now is the right time to signal the determination of the Yoruba to begin a process of writing the true history of the Nigerian Ethnic Nationalities, as opposed the pseudo-colonislist and jihadist interpretation as handed over to us by the British, who were driven by commercial/economic goals.

In order to protect their economic interests, the British imposed a hegemonist arrangement called the Almalgamation Treaty of 1914. It is instructive to note that this treaty was due for renewal in 2014.

We, the Yoruba Nation stand firm on the belief that the various ethnic nationalities in Nigeria reserve the right to self determination to agree to arrangements that suit their national aspirations.

The judgement of the High Court that Lokoja and Ajaokuta in Kogi State are part of the Igala Kingdom against all genuine historical facts, highlights the urgent need for discussions by all parts of Nigeria to agree on where they want to be instead of what is imposed on them.

This Statement serves notice that the Yoruba Nation will strenuously stand to defend her People who dwell on YORUBA LAND from Oworo in Kogi State eastwards to Jebba and Baruba all the way to the Benin Republic border and southwest to the Atlantic Ocean. We urge all the Oworo People to stay calm but to resolutely defend their God given land against this attempted piracy[b]Court Judgment on status of Lokoja and Ajaokuta: Yoruba World Congress' pronouncement

1. Not all oworo people identify as yoruba
2. Not all lokoja area belongs to oworo, their land stops at felele
3. The judgement is lopsided because egbira people also have claim to ajaokuta
4. The yoruba kings have little influence outside southwest, kwara state is an example
5. Igala language and culture shares similarities with the yorubas

u are a noise maker bro..
Oworo owns lokoja and the chairman lokoja local government council of chiefs is the maigari of lokoja an Hausa man from kastina....even in felele oworo people are still minority.

Emmydann:
u are a noise maker bro..
Oworo owns lokoja and the chairman lokoja local government council of chiefs is the maigari of lokoja an Hausa man from kastina....even in felele oworo people are still minority.

Oworo does not own the whole of lokoja, their land stops at felele but they need to speak up else their land will be taken from them.

Igala does not own lokoja also infact it is because lokoja is the capital we have a lot of igala there. We have hausa, nupes that are indigenous to lokoja

Oworos are not minority in felele. Felele has the highest yoruba settlement in lokoja.
