diluminati:
oh you ignored the part OPC members went back and killed some igbos too

Dudu_Negro:
Ibos, as usual, ran to police and whined that Yorubas were getting ready to kill them off and to come out and stop the bloodshed. If you are true bravehearts, why did you run to go get police? Why not allow the whole thing to go down and see if thousands of you dont follow Ojukwu home.

Kobojunkie:
A Human being was mistakenly killed. A human being who was in church like the other thousands and didn't know those worshiping right there with him would in only a matter of minutes turn to club him to death so people like you can come online to poke fun with the story. Have a heart please!!

If your own children/siblings were to witness your murder by the same church people they have probably trusted for years, do you think they will turn to God to praise him for it?

alj harem:
thank you = Sonsongo

I hope I am right

Kobojunkie:
Well, I will say this. The number seems more plausible than Ohaneze's claim of evacuating more than 500,000. I mean to think such a lazy Organization has had the resources to do such but never thought to maybe invest it in massively improving life for at least 100,000 people who already live in one of the many eastern states.

amor4ce:
So Igala used to have a reputation for filth? When and where have the Yoruba ever claimed to be the parents of the Igala?

Let me tell you a story. The name Oduduwa in Igala means the Lord brought him. Oduduwa was discovered in some part of Igalaland (now in modern day Omala local govt) by Igala hunters who went hunting from Idah. These hunters captured oduduwa and brought him to the Attah of Igala. He (Oduduwa) was later released and resettled at Omala. Oduduwa was such a neat man that his environment became the neatest in the whole of Igala land. This place was later named Abejukolo-Ife (Ife means neat in Igala). According to the story, the gods rewarded his cleanliness by directing him to a new land which was more fertile and had a better vegetation than Abejukolo-Ife. His discovery of this new land was viewed as d reward for his cleanliness. The new land was named ILE-IFE (meaning gains/profit of neatness)

Igwe.:
Why should I open my opened eyes?
I will pretend I didn't find it irritating, therefore irrespective of what we think or how fishy the offer may seem, it's an intelligent move by the igalla peeps and should be upheld but it's left for the interested Igbos to embrace the offer which to me would be suicidal.

Btw, why didn't you quote me on the side I advised against it?

tpia@:
How did they arrive at this figure and also how were such a large number transported in a short period of time without anyone knowing.

Just asking is all.

Bandit C.:
I love the Igala people. My Grandmother and my mom both speak flawless Igala. Though my Grandmother is from Awka, she was born and raised among the Igalas. She regards the Igala homeland as her second home and in her later days, always dreamt of going back there to mingle with the people once again.

I would never regard the Igalas and Idomas as enemies, even if they were to put a knife to my throat. We have well enough history together to see ourselves as enemies. So to my fellow Igbos, when you speak ill and make jest of other people who are closely related to us Igbos, be careful what you say and be respectful because this is a public forum and through the words of our mouth, they make get a wrong impression on how we think about and perceive them.

An offer is made, which i believe is in earnest, but if your are not interested in it, politely reject it and do not ridicule the people based on what you believe their innermost intentions may be.

noiseless:
I'm sure our Igala brothers/sisters would count the number of those who applied emotions in their comments here due to some very unfortunate experiences in the past and on going in the nation,then compare the population of the igbo nation and they will see that those who see it as not so good idear will surely see it as a welcome development once they sit down and drink some cool water. Given the fact that igalas have always been a part of us and us a part of them,we have been living with our igala brothers/sisters in igboland without discrimination or war or even knowing who is igala or igbo,and our igala brothers in anambra have equally contribute to the development in anambra and nigeria as well,think about men like the legendary emma and his late brother patrick okala and many more who served alaigbo with all their strength,and the igalas are very hard working so anyone who thinks or says orderwise should please think again or perhaps he/she does not know the real igalas, only fake internet igalas just like the fake internet igbos lol! Also the gesture is encouraging,but like someone suggested let there be some sort of agreement just for reference. FINALLY A MASSIVE DALU (THANK YOU) TO THE ATTAH OF IGALA THIS GESTURE MEANS ALOT AND WILL GO DOWN TO HISTORY[b][/b].

Igwe.:
Kudos to the igala people, though the facts remain that ''someone that had been stung by bee dreads flies'' and should not be blamed for that.

And I tell ya, I'd rather spend billions buying land in USA than to take any free of charge from any state in Nigeria, outside my town or Village. ofcourse would take from any state in Igbo land but must be backed up with papers.

Andre Uweh:
Mrs Ojukwu should note that the same Ohanaeze U.K chapter that was with them from arrival till the death of Ikemba is part of the general Ohanaeze. Some of this U.K chapter of Ohanaeze members are top medical consultants in the U.K and in one way or the other contributed to the care and wellbeing of Ikemba.
Probably, she did not say so.
