Nigeria is potentially far richer than China. I wish we can actually have round pillars in round pegs politically in this country, we are the ones that will be rejecting their visa application. But because we have refused to grow and also for bad leadership, this is the hard and ugly price to pay.
Your nigeria is not one country. For different nations caged inside the zoo to reach their potentials, the zoo must must be dismantled. Biafra as a country on it's own will use her leverage as a well to do country to get China and other countries of the world to respect her citizens.

Good news is just make sure that you stay away from any 5G mast for the moment until after installations and all will be good with you because the radiation effects on your health is only during the installations. After their installations and switch on of the 5G, all will be well and normal businesses will return. Installation process is the problem time.

THE BOND BETWEEN THE IGALA AND IGBO ETHNIC NATIONALITIES OF NIGERIA - SOME HISTORICAL FACTS.


Posted by OKAKACHI.COM 7q6a – Jul 29, 2011; 12:05am Options.

Igala are an ethnic group of Nigeria situated east of the river Niger and Benue confluence and astride the Niger in Lokoja. Their religious practice is broadly Christianity and Islam, with, of course, some sketches of African religion, all of which do not in any way affect their interpersonal relationship as it is common to see in a family in Igalaland where either the Father is a Muslim and Mother a Christian or Parents are Muslims and Children are Christians or vice-versa, yet all relate amicably well in all ramifications.

The Igala population is estimated at about 4million and overflow to outside their home base to regions like Anambra, Delta, Edo and Enugu States, with strong traditional base, and now in ABIA State of Nigeria as partners for progress. The Igala language is part of the Eastern Kwa sub group or the West Benue-Congo subgroup of the Niger-Congo language family where the Igbo also belong, depending on the school of thought of the observer. The traditional Igala society is largely agrarian, although fishing is also a mainstay of the people especially the Igalas of the riverine Idah area. The Igala are identified by the old oral tradition of Western Igbo as descendants of Igbo migrants who migrated westward during the expansion of the proto-Igbo peoples at the beginning of the 1st millennium.

The central geographical location of the Igala people has exposed them to a wide variety of linguistic as well as cultural influences from other ethnic groups in the country. Notable among these are the Bini, the Igbo, the Hausa, their closest sisters-Idoma and the Yoruba ethnic groups. They are ruled by a father figure called the Attah. The word Attah means 'Father' and the full title of the ruler is 'Attah Igala', meaning, the Father of Igala. Among the most revered Attahs of the Igala kingdom are Attah Ayegba Oma Idoko and Atta Ameh Oboni.

According to oral tradition, Attah Ayegba Oma Idoko offered his most beloved daughter, Inikpi to ensure that the Igalas win a war of liberation from the Jukuns' dominance while Attah Ameh Oboni was known to be very brave and resolute and revered for his stiff resistance of the British and his struggles to uphold some ancient traditions of the Igalas. When he got wind of a plan to depose and exile him by the British, he committed suicide by hanging himself to forestall the plan; for this and other numerous exploits recorded in his time, he is regarded by most Igalas as the last real traditional Attah Igala. The present Atta is His Royal Highness, Atta Aliyu Ocheja Obaje, a well read, intelligent and well respected Father. The Igala word for King is Onu, one of which has gathered us here today to honour some deserving people, the Onu Igala Abia state, his highness, Alhaji Usman Mohammed.

To divorce the Igala influence from the modern Igbo cultural evolution would be a travesty of history. The evidence of the cross cultural mix appears to be genuine. According to several sources, Igbo people evolved over a long period of 4000 BC to 500 AD in Igbo land through waves of migrations. Oral accounts stated that her northern neighbours migrated into her heartland in search of fertile land and rich marine life. The majority of which were the Igalas. The Igalas settled amongst the locals east of the Niger, altering the historiography of many towns in today's Anambra state and parts of the present Oshimmili Local Government in Delta state.

For instance in Anambra state, there are traces of Igala history in some communities of the Local Government councils of the state such as - Ayamelum, Ihiala, Oyi, Awka North/South, Aniocha, Dunukofia, Onitsha North/South, Ogbaru, Anambra East/West and Njikoka. The migration did not only affect the area known today as Anambra state, a sizeable portion of Enugu state's communities have Igala ancestry as well. Thus, it would be right to call it a reverse migration, occurring about eight hundred years after which Eri was reported to have founded the modern Igbo nation with its set of unique religious doctrine. It was also a period one of his sons, Onoja, was said to have departed northwards and founded the Igala land.

Eri's children were listed as Nri-Ifikuanim Menri, Agulu, ONOJA, Ogbodudu, Onogu and his only daughter, Iguedo. Together and respectively, his off-springs were instrumental to founding the towns of Aguleri, Igbariam, Ogbunike, Nando, Nri, Enugu-Ukwu, Nteje, Enugu-Agidi, and so many other settlements in the East and West of the Niger. From the foregoing and other numerous historical facts, it is indeed difficult to draw a line between the Igbo and Igala history.

However, according to P.E. OKWOLI, a native Igalaman, and renowned historian, in the ancient times, new rulers from the Igbo communities of Igala ancestry must go to Igala to be taught kingship rituals and ceremonials. Although he mentioned that Igala and Umueri towns are related, Umueri needed not to go to Igala for any sort of tutelage. An exemption that might explain Nri-Ifikuanim and Agulu's seniority to their younger brother Onoja, the founder of Igala.

P.E. Okwoli stated inter-alia some binding revelations that "In Nsukka and the rest of Igbo land, there is a popular masquerade called Agabaidu, and this is a significant cultural point. In Nsukka, the word Agabidu is used to refer to an eminent man, while it is used to refer to a King in Igala. Also Asadu is the word for kingmaker among the Igbo, while it is called Achadu among the Igala. There are some other words which are signs of close cultural ties shared by both Igala and the Igbo. These include Atama, which means Chief Priest in both languages. Ajogwu means warrior among the Igala and the Igbo" Both the Igbo and Igala have four market days which are – EKE, ORIE, AFOR & NKWO in Igbo and EKE, EDE, AFOR & UKWO in Igala seriatim. What more can be more binding! Is it that we both eat OSIKAPA as rice, ABACHA as cassava, EGWA/AGWA as beans, store our clothing in AKPATI called box or that the names - Okolo, Oji, Okwoli, Akoh, Odiba, etc in Igala are called Okoro, Orji, Okoli, Akor and Odida in Igbo? What is more important is that we are today celebrating togetherness.

Long live Ndigbo, long live Igalas and long live Nigeria.
Thank you all for the attention and God bless us all!!!

Biafra: Afenifere backs Nnamdi Kanu, emphasise Nigeria’s inevitable breakup


The Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, on Wednesday raised an alarm that Nigeria may break-up in the nearest future.

Afenifere’s National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin who spoke with DAILY POST was reacting to claims by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, that Biafra will be achieved in his life-time.

Kanu, had in a broadcast on Radio Biafra said that Igbo presidency was not achievable because Biafra will be actualised during his life-time.

Reacting, Odumakin noted that Nigeria has gotten to the point where a breakup is “inevitable.”

According to Odumakin, Nigeria has gotten to the point where Yugoslavia, USSR got to before they eventually broke up.

He said: “If you read what Obasanjo recently said, he did make it clear to this country that if we don’t make use of the little window we have to restructure this country self-determination will become inevitable. Like I said the way power has been used in the last five years pushing many nationalities to that conclusion.

“It’s like we now being held with content in our various zones and communities by those who believe that self-determination should be so we are saying that they should utilize that little window to restructure this country back to true federalism so that we can instill confidence in the Nigerian project once again.

“Failure to restructure, the breakup of Nigeria is inevitable, yes we have reached that point that Yugoslavia, USSR, reached that is why we are screaming, shouting and when men like Obasanjo, Gowon start warning us about such consequences we must take it very seriously because a constitution that does not bend will break.”

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has always reiterated on Radio Biafra that the British know who we are (We are the light of Africa) hence the reason why they are refusing to let us go.



The Flag of Nigeria between 1914 and 1960 was a British blue ensign with a green Star of David surrounding a Tudor Crown (later changed to a St Edward's Crown in 1953)[1] with the white word "Nigeria" under it on a red disc. It was adopted by the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria following the amalgamation of the Southern Nigeria Protectorate and Northern Nigeria Protectorate.

History

The colonial flag of Nigeria was adopted in 1914 following the amalgamation of Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria. It was first suggested by the first Governor-General of Nigeria, Sir Frederick Lugard as a symbol of the unification of Nigeria and because of the Seal of Solomon which was associated with the native Igbo Jews.[2] The Star of David had already been in use in Nigeria during the British rule because of the Igbo Jews who were featured on coins of the British West African pound.[3] This was confirmed in the 1917 discovery of a bronze Star of David attributed to the Igbo Jews in Aguleri.[4] The crest on the flag was also used on the flag of the Governor-General of Nigeria.[5]


Flag of the Governor-General of Nigeria

The flag was not universally accepted. Some native Nigerians, including Fela Kuti, refused to salute the flag despite it being mandated in schools.[2] In 1956, some Nigerian Muslims burned the Nigerian blue ensign at Mecca, Saudi Arabia, because of the Jewish Star of David on it.[4][5] In 1959, prior to Nigerian Independence a competition to design a new flag was held with Taiwo Akinkunmi designing the new flag of Nigeria which replaced blue ensign in 1960.[6]
