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

Where they conquered by Sokoto Caliphate?

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 of the Igalas are Muslims, some are Christians, while very few are traditional worshipers

Liar the last Attah ( MICHEAL OBONI ) was a Christain. And besides Igala was never under the influence of any calliphate.

On paper you're right, in reality you're wrong.

Most of the so called Igala muslims and christians still practice ATR.
Being a christian/muslim is more like a tag/label for the average Igala person.

n.b I'm Igala

Kogi state government approved it not appoint him. The Igala Kings maker go through the right process and nominated the right person for the throne and submitted the Name to kogi state ministry of chieftaincy affair for approval. Government doesn't have the right to nominate who becomes the Attah of Igala kingdom. Thank you.

But the former one who died was a Christian and even built a church in the Palace I learnt so all these sultan talk doesn't hold water amd all nonsense....the caliphate was defeated by the igalas and does not and never bow to sokoto....what you should be saying is it was always hard for a non moslem.to make headway in North then which is the offshoot of the islamizatuon agenda people are shouting now...hence the need to borrow Islamic names and also pretend to practice Islam....for all I know the igala people are pure animist and still hold onto their culture and traditional believes...nothing like moslem or Christian there...its all for show and pretending to confirm with what everybody is doing....!!! Go and check, the attah stool is never I repeat never a subject to any fuurcking caliphate order....that order is limited to the Emirates alone.....!!! And which the attah stool is never one and would never be....!!! Educate yourself guy and I'm not even a kogi person....!!!
