Do you know my Hobby?
I like Educating ignorant people.

1. Ijaws don't control anything, I mean anything.
The local government where you can find them is Ese Odo local government, still surrounded by Yoruba towns and the name self is Yoruba. Ijaws don't own a local government, kindly note that.

2. Do you even know Lagos? Lagos Benin people are talking about is Lagos island not Lagos state, kindly educate your ignorant mind.
A lot of towns and cities on Lagos mainland were formerly In Ogun state before they joined them to Lagos Island. (Its like you guys don't do history over there)

3. Benin People cannot even tell us Oba originated from them. They should give me the lexicon of Oba in Benin language cheesy

4. Go to ijebu ode and tell them They're from Sudan and are not Yoruba cheesy It's just like saying Port novo is not a Yoruba town because it's in Benin Republic cheesy

5. Anyone, can change his Oba to Emir if he wishes so stop masturbating on whatever you don't know, do u even know the road to ilorin talkless of knowing those who reside there Or ain't you aware when Olu of Iwo said he wanna change his Oba to Emir?


6. And who told you Kaaba has been conquered or so? Alayee shut up Abeq.

7. My having a convo with Original Igbos from SE not the tap in Igbos that shares a state with Yoruba tribe in delta. cheesy

8. If you ask me, I think you should worry about your brothers who refuses to be identified as Igbos, Abi Wetin concern me cheesy

Check all yoruba towns irrespective of Their location, they still wanna be with their knits, goan sort yourself and stop dreaming of Yorubas, we ain't the cause of you guys misfortune grin

The title Oba belongs to only one throne: Omo n'Oba n'Edo your Yoruba people copied it.

Ikengawo:
Onitsha, a town in Anambra state has 9 communities in which Igala has 2 (Ogbodu and Obigboru), Benin has 4 and Igbo has 3. Igala was said to be the first people in Onitsha as they had been camping (having fishing tents) by the side of the river Niger doing their fishing before the crossing of Benin people to the area. The Igala were the one who helped the Benin Prince and his people to cross the river Niger by carrying the Benin people in their (Igala) fishing boats and canoes to the side now called Onitsha, thus Igala were the host while the Benin were strangers at that time.
Though the Igala people were there before the Benin people, they built their houses at the river side while the Benin prince and his people who moved to the dry land formed the head of the area, thus the Benin people became the ruling class as Obi of Onitsha till this day. But Igala and Igbo play their roles too. Igala have a role to play in the traditional council. The Igala people are in charge of the design of the royal clothes/regalia as well as burial of any transited Obi of Onitsha. Remember that the burial of such a person requires many spiritual activities. I will tell you one. The masquerade which performs the last icholo (rite) is an Igala masquerade called Egwu-Afia. Just like in Kogi Igala Okwulat (feast of the ancestors) where a song Ebule kpolama kegwu alo, and women as well as non-initiated males leave the location, the Onitsha Egwu-Afia masquerade speaks and signs in Igala language, and the final song which concludes the burial activities is Ononojo nalo kibawawa nalo.. (meaning strangers, leave let it remain us, the indigenes..), and now none indigenes would have to move from the burial site, oral history revealed. The mother of one late Obi of Onitsha (Obi Eze Aroli) was Igala, and her name was Enubi (meaning the supporter or one to lean on. The male version in Kogi is Enebi/Eneubi).
And before I forget, this Egwu-Afia is still part of the burial rites of anyone who dies in this 2 Igala communities- Ogbodu and Obigboru till date, and was used for one important figure who was one of the fighters for the independent of Nigeria from that side during his burial, reliable sources told me. Egwu-Afia is exclusively of Igala, and any community is found till tomorrow in Nigeria is indigenous Igala people, as the masquerade is only found among the oma Egwu-Afia clan (Note: Not all Igalas are Oma Egwu-Afia clans but all Oma Egwu-Afia clans are Igalas).
God bless the throne of Obi of Onitsha, God bless Ogbogu and Obigboru people, God bless entire Igala people.
