Igala are Yorubas...Opaluwa

Igala owns the land in onitsha and Anambra Both North and Central....by extension the land belongs to Yoruba
Opaluwa a pure Igala name. Please do more travels and stop displaying this.

NB: Opaluwa is not Opeoluwa.

I have really tried to know who the igalas are to no avail. Are they Igbo offspring? How come they own so much land from koton karfe to lokoja to enugu? Are they traditional worshippers, Christians or Islamist's? Or are simply a confused ppl who worship whatever is convenient?

Some names go just confuse for this world; Mathew Alhaji.

I guess this is the case of "Paul" pogba who is a devout Muslim that has even fulfilled the Holy pilgrimage. In fact his brothers are named Florentin and Mathias Pogba and they are equally Muslims. Matthias is one of the disciples in the Bible and Paul is an apostle.

Shey wàhálà no too much like this?

Concerning the names.

I know this family, am from the Lineage of this Attah Rulership, when the time came for taking over of this throne, the Sultan of Sokokota made a decree that unless you are a muslim you can not become the attah, that is when these Opaluwa's sons began to change fron Christian to Muslims in order to qualify for the seat. Its so sad how the north leaders are the one controlling how we do our things in the Igala Kingdom

How or when did Sultan make that decree, or, was it coded? names, dates etc
I want to understand the events leading to it, or was Igala under Caliphate at any point?

The Attah designate started his early education at St Boniface Primary School, Idah in 1975 and proceeded to St Peter’s College, Idah where he obtained his West African School Certificate (WASC), in 1980.

He started his primary school in 1975 and Obtained WASC in 1980. Meaning primary and sec sch, took him just 5 years! No be magic be that?
