Look at you, did I said he was not a Christian?

Did you know the muslims were against him?

Please dont allow me to talk here.

Go and check properly all the so called moslem who where against him...they are all offspring of hausa/fulani people who migrated from bebeji kano state and elsewhere to come sell sponge and other goods in igala land....!!! They igalas with their foresight created an enclave for them...today if not told you would never believe they're are non igalas....we even have people of nupe,bassa, edo, ijaw, ebira and other extractions in igala land all well integrated amd speaks igala well but the sons of the soil know them all and their talk is always inconsequential when it comes to issues that bothers on the welfare of the true igala people....!! The other few moslem who opposes him are the few fanatics and paid agent of the fulani people that are in igala land....!! I hope you get the play now....!!!

Igala are Yorubas...Opaluwa

Igala owns the land in onitsha and Anambra Both North and Central....by extension the land belongs to Yoruba
Congrats to the new Attah of Igala and all
Igalas worldwide.

Yup! Lol... Opaluwa is clearly a Yoruba name, but the Oma Igala on NL
can tell us the real meaning of
"Opaluwa" in Igala language! grin

Igala language like Itsekiri is
Yoruboid (with about 55% similarity with Yoruba language).
A higher percentage similarity of over 60% would have automatically made Igala a full Yoruba dialect!


NOTE:
Egungun (meaning "bone," a spirit masquerade representation in Yoruba), is called Egwugwu in Igala.

Ewa in Yoruba, is Egwa in Igala for instance.

Omi (water) and Ogede
(banana/plantain) mean the same thing in Yoruba and Igala languages.

Infact Igalas are the original settlers
of Onitsha in Anambra with their quarters being one of the 8 quarters, and Igala boat people ferried the newer Edo migrants to
Onitsha over 400 years ago according to the current Obi of Onitsha Ado n'Idu, who confirmed this fact in a 2018 Ofala Day documentary that I saw. The Obi clearly said that he has Igala, Edo,
and Ibo ancestral roots.

I remember the Ooni of Ife was a special guest at the Ofala festival
of that year.


The core Igala are a mix of migrants
from the Wukari axis, Yoruba, Edo and to a lesser extent, some Ibo, according to an interview that the late Attah of Igala, HRH Michael Oboni.

Ifa divination is also consulted to
determine who would be a new
Attah of Igala according to Attah
Michael Oboni.

Last but not least:
ERI an Igala hunter/prince was the father of NRI and other children. There are many Igala-associated communities (Igala bloodlines) in Delta, Anambra, and Enugu States, such as Onitsha, Asaba, Nri, Nteje, Aguleri, Umuleri, Illah in Delta State [where Desmond Olusola Elliot's mother, Stephen Keshi, and Frank Olize of NTA Newsline fame hail from].

Hope this helps.

Yep. The most religious tolerant state in the country.

Same family different religions

And no beef

Remember it is surrounded by Niger, Kwara, Ekiti, Edo, Anambra, Enugu, Benue, Nassarawa and Abuja. It also connects upstream by water to Delta State.

Just as you know I'm a man who doesn't joke with keeping records, you have an explanation to make on why you have refused to pick my calls and why you decided not to return them when I called you on Monday 18th October 2021 at exactly 5:10pm .

If George isn't a Christian name but an English name, then one can also argue that Idris isn't a Muslim name, but an Arabic name. Religions don't own names (for the most part). Ethnic groups do. An Arab Christian can bear the name Idris. The name simply means "interpreter" and has no religious connotations at all.

Your call was more of a flash, it ended abruptly as i was about aswering and that was the only time you ever call. As to why i didn't returnyour call, you need no one to tell you that. Don't worry when we will meet again, our scores will be settled. cry cry cry
