As a Igala tribe in an Igbo dominated state, it is very difficult because Anambra state government has made it compulsory for all the school to speak igbo(ibo) language through out which sometime makes it difficult for Igala young ones to speak Igala.


This MUST be addressed. This is actually an act of genocide

Every three, four years, you'll come out here to spew trash. I know that there's official state news broadcast in Igala language in Anambra state. Despite that native Igala speakers are about 1.5% of Anambra population. This is a privilege native Igbo communities of Kogi don't enjoy. Nor native Igbo communities of Benue state numbering over three hundred villages.

Discuss your grievances with your kinsman Dr Chukwuemeka Omaremi of the Labour Party. Or equally your traditional ruler Igwe Alokwu. You can also discuss with Chief Emmanuel Aniwetalu of Nzam. I am sure they will be suprise with your baseless accusation. And your ever penchant to whip up useless emotions.

IGALA:THE PLIGHT OF IGALA PEOPLE IN ANAMBRA STATE BY VICTOR O EKELE.

lgala is an ethnic group In Nigeria with over ten million population as of now. The home of the Igala people is situated east of the river Niger and Benue confluence and astride the Niger.

The Igala people shares boundaries with the Igbo's(ibo) people at the south, Idoma at the east, Benis people at the west and Ebira people at the north.


The Igala people are found in Kogi state with 55 percent of kogi state population and also found in Anambra state, Enugu state, Edo state and Delta state.


The Igala people which are found in the Anambra west are mostly Mmiata Anam, Umuoba-Abegbu Anam, Umuenwelum Anam, Oroma-Etiti,Umueze Anam, Umudora Anam, Umuikwu Anam, Inoma-Akator, Nzam, Igbedor and Iyiora Anam all from the family of Ogbe the descendants of General Ajida, a notable warrior of Idah origin(Idah is traditional headquarters of Igala kingdom) Ajida is the father of field marshal Ogbe who was married to Iyida.


The family of ogbe and other Anambra west villages. Anam, Anako, and Akpanam people have recently neglected their real tribe Igala which was the language they were speaking originally as their mother tongue before the Nigeria civil war.


As a Igala tribe in an Igbo state, it is very difficult because Anambra state government has made it compulsory for all the school to speak igbo(ibo) language through out which sometime makes it difficult for Igala young ones to speak Igala.


Igala people in Anambra west are making a lot of mistakes now because some of them are giving Igbo's names to their children rather than Igala names. They know that they are Igala people but the Anambra west generations of youths does not really knows who there are rather they thinks they are igbo because most of them bears Igbo names.


The history of Nzam are traces back to descendants of General Ajida, a notable warrior of Idah origin who came to the town. Ajida is the father of field marshal Ogbe who was married to Iyida. He was the first settler of the present place Ogbe area of Anambra west.

In my interview with a man called chinedu Idoko an indigene of the land. I asked him about himself and his tribes and also his names.
This was his replies, "my names is chinedu Idoko, I am an Igala man, but I bears igbo names while my father names Idoko Atama an Igala names. I was given the names after the Nigeria civil war in in 1971."

Speaking further to chinedu:
Why are you people in this Generation doesn't want to give Igala names to your children again? "I don't know maybe it is because we are living in Anambra an Igbo state. But we still speak our Igala language as our mother tongue".

Most youths in Anambra who are bearing Igbo names and some times are not living in Anambra west will thinks that there are igbos not knowing there are Igala people.
Their land has lack development and government neglection. The only roads that links their town is not something we might talks about because it is not good.

They are the least undeveloped area in Anambra state lacking many facilities after my research.

Nzam people must know their origin and try to preserve their origins before it dies off.

An advice to Ogbe family of Anambra west. Stop given your children Igbo names and teach your children how to speak Igala.

Do you know that the king of Nzam originally was called Ide of Nzam. Which means the Guardian of Nzam people. Ide means Guardian in igala not igwe now they are calling them.

No Umu Nri person has ever been a governor in Anambra also.

This issue has to be addressed. I am not pleased that this fact was not highlighted in your trash above

Seems you are mad.

Igbos comprise 99.5% of Anambra State and you are talking rubbish. We can add your tiny portion to Kogi State (I think they said half-a-village at the tip of Anambra North) by Constitutional amendment if you want.


See these mumu people that can never challenge muslims, perpetually ruled by them unchallenged.


It's high time we start flogging all of you. Rubbish post. God punish you & Bless/make saint of me and 4000 other Igbo men.

Stop sounding uneducated. Where is the genocide against Igalas anywhere? A highly intolerant people. If not for God, Only Igala rule Kogi State. They ignore Kogi Central dominated by the Egbiras and Kogi West dominated by the Okun. But today, there is serious agitation for power to shift to Kogi West.

Very barbaric and backward people. I mean Igala people. Go to their region, juju and very outdated people everywhere!

Mention any notable Igala Man in the whole Nigeria. Ayingba is a very local place, LOKOJA is a little more than one street city. One flyover in the whole state. A very very backward people full of themselves.

Even in that Kogi State, Igala people are so backward that you begin to wonder. Very proud, very poor and empty people. Smelly everywhere. Infact, I know that the Egbiras and Okun are tired of them.

Imagine an Igala Man coming and accusing Anambra people. Just imagine. Oh. If we hand over Anambra State to you can you do anything there? You want to return Anambra to your backward state of Kogi.

Mischievous post.
Since the creation of Anambra state (both old and new) an Nnewi person has never been elected governor except the three months Virgy Etiaba interregnum.
Imagine a whole Nnewi people that are the heartbeat of Anambra, and yet they somehow get sidelined for governorship positions in Anambra state.
And they don't complain, at least not yet.
Even Nnewi roads are being ignored despite the fact that Nnewi generates billions of Naira for Anambra state coffers, while roads in Igala part of Anambra state has been getting government attention from Peter Obi's government to Obiano and now to Soludo.
You people creating this type of post should fear God, but I support that the OP is likely from South west.
