delpee: The entire Anambra is IGALA ancestral State, half of Enugu is also Igala. Most of those wealthy people you see as Igbo are actually Igala. The IGALA in Anambra and Enugu are actually richer than the Igbo who live in those areas The reason why the Igala embrace Igbo language is that, Igbo language is the language of trade in that Region. Just like Hausa is that language of trade in the North. Which forced other minorities in that region to speak Hausa. 1 Like

[please, I will really like if you can refer me to a book detailing this. Especially where the Okun people of Kogi comes in. uote author=scholes0 post=115820956] Pls stick to what you know, or calm down and stop gettting your panties in a bunch. I said Igala sounds like heavily modified archaic Yoruba, I never said it is the archaic Yoruba, maybe you have comprehension issues..... If you have any contrary opinions, express it. It is an established fact that the NW Yoruba dialects (Your Oyo, Egba, Ibarapa and co) are the newest and latest evolving Yoruba dialects while the eastern dialects ( your Ekiti, Ufe, Ijebu, Owo, Ondo, Okun of Kogi and co) are the most archaic and stable... That is why an Igala, Ekiti, Ondo, Itsekiri, Ijesha person will instantly interpret the title of Teni's popular single "Uyo Meyo" without breaking sweat, but your average Lagosian or Ibadan Yoruba will still be asking if that is even Yoruba language. That is why the vocabulary of Igala is closer to that of the eastern dialects but with heavy mutations due to contact with Idoma and Igbo. Igala and Olukumi do not belong to the same time period. All linguists agree that Igala and the modern Yoruba dialects split off from a previous common proto language... so I don't know how any well informed person will be comparing the chronology of Olukumi vis-a-vis Yoruba with that of Igala, which shares a much more antiquated level of relationship. Ps: Who told you there is nothing like Olokunrin in Yoruba. Stop overreaching yourself please.... or better still, just stick to your dialect and stay there. And even if that was the case, where exactly are the exaggerations? because apart from that one example out of all those I have listed up there you haven't pointed to any other one. Check a map please, Yoruba are not more southerly than Igala per se.... it is Nigeria's confusing political geography that makes people think along the lines of ;"Igala are North, Yoruba is South" Or have you forgotten there are Yorubas in the same "Northern" kogi state with the Igalas? Geographically, Yorubaland extend both more in the Northerly and more in the Southerly directions than the reach of Igalas.... Which means that even within Yorubas, you will actually find Yoruba groups more northerly and more southerly than Igala geographically..... So you can see your hypothesis is already faulty.[/quote] 2 Likes |

But when we talk about Igbos history here and how we are related to the Isrealites just to educate our people some of your tribalistic mods would keep deleting the thread. The kind of inequality going here is not good. A Muslim thread would be set up, while trying to comment "You will be forced to proclaim you are a Muslim."

I believe there is a strong relationship between Igala, Yoruba & Itsekiri. I remember I went to one joint in Warri owned by an Itsekiri woman. She was talking to her staff and I could understand what she was say if I listened carefully. That was my first time of hearing Itsekiri spoken and my conclusion was this is nothing more than a Yoruba dialect. 1 Like |

samonak: These similarities are because they've been neighbours for centuries and have mixed and borrowed from one another. Lexically, Igala is still closer to Yoruba by far than to Idoma. The closeness between Igala and Yoruba are so much so that experts believe they both separated from a common language stock. 3 Likes |

scholes0: Also about your map. I think the yoruboid group extended a lot up to seria loene because I do chat with a lady years ago from there and she told me her hubby lineage is from western part of nigeria but I think those are the lost group. Also, it is well know in ghana that the Ga people of Accra (the teshie, nungua, circle area) are yorubas and they don’t decline that likewise some fractions in Togo and Benin. Again, I guess those are lost groups. 1 Like |

AlphaTaikun: This is madness. I'm from Aguleri and am very sure that you have never gone beyond Ondo State towards the east but you want to tell the history of the people you know nothing about. You gather knowledge from online publications of people that know nothing about the Igbos. The guy told OP that Igala is more closer to the East than the West and even after taking a look at the below map of your making, you still do not believe that, but went even further to tell stories of how traditional Igbo words were now gotten from the Yorubas, through the Igalas. You actually believe the language of the Igalas, which is a very small ethnic group (compared to the Igbos) influenced the entire Igbo but wouldn't consider is being the vice-versa?. You simply loath the Igbos, but if you're a historian, focus on your tribe and the wack story of how your ancestors fell from the sky. 1 Like

RedboneSmith: Neighbours correct.This due to Ecological factor in linguistic analysis. Interwoven with the Yorubas of the NorthEast Flank ? Correct. Okun people factoring. Interwoven with the North Central Yorubas ? Came to be during Oranmiyan's and team's espionage across Niger River. Oranmiyan and group went as far as close to Songhai Empire(oral history with evidence of Yoruba Fabrics, beads, found in Mauritania and beyond) before returning due to his inability to penetrate Songhai Empire. Therefore he returns back to extract some Tapa/Nupe who became loyalist to him in reestablishment of Katunga and later Eyoe who were of Nupe admixture. Finally, the people who were of Igala are admixture of Tapa, Jukun,Idoma, Ibos(Ìgbò) etc Yoruba. Pointing to language separation 5000 years ago is pointing to the Biblical information on Tower of Babel . And this is false because there is no Igala as a man in Ifá but animal in all ramification. The ifa as esoteric divination system has absolute information on the people who claims historical alliance and same variation of language identified as Yorùbá people. In ileife, there is no household that Igala can lay claim to as ancestral household unless,the one that begun during the return of Oranmiyan back to ileife after the demise of obálùfọ̀n ogbógbodirin and his son Obálùfọ̀n Aláyémórè around early 1200AD. And the Igala, will be fused under Eredumi household who is under Obadio of Ogun household. This was when Prince Orànmìyàn returned and Obálùfọ̀n Aláayémórè abdicated the throne for him to establish ẹfọn Alàayé . Even in iléifẹ, there is what is called strangers quarters.Kindly verify my assertion through visit to ileife. You see, the hypothesis being stated online is quite different from reality on ground. Finally , there were oral account in ifa where the world begun in the ancient "iléifẹ" (vast household) or "ilẹ̀ifẹ" (vast endless land) and there are three world that have existed. The present world is the third. #Fact.com 1 Like 1 Share |

samonak:Names I agree, but for words, Igala has closer affinity with yoruba than idoma. I am not idoma but I lived with Idomas long enough to know. But then maybe Igalas on the border in Ankpa and Olamaboro share words with idoma but as you push deeper into Igala land from Ofu to idah (which is where I come from) they are scarcely similar words shared between igala and idoma. In fact when Igalas from Ankpa and Ogugu speak, I hardly understand what they say. 1 Like |

shortIGBOman: Interesting! I'm surprised actually. I've been to Anambra and Enugu before and assumed they're full Igbo states. Thanks for enlightening me. Our inlaws from Anambra claim Igbo ancestry with a traditional title attached to the family (Chief). Probably a mixed or acquired heritage based on your analysis. 1 Like 1 Share |
