Niwdog:
If truly they are complaining the best is to shift them back(both with their ancestral land) to Kogi
where their brothers reside

They have come to stay.

rummmy:
how about teaching Igbo language in kogi,benue and Lagos states?..
Mumus everywhere .

Who's stopping you

juman:
But some haters of obiano always called him Igala.

Yes derogatorily. And complain if others use such terms for their own tribe

udede:
continue fooling your self. 40% and i have never met any igala man.

Go mobilize your people to contest the governorship election,40% of the population of Anambra state is more than 2million . You can win any election in anambra if you are sure of what you are saying.

Igala own substantial portion of Anambra State

Nzogbu2012:
I know says all these Bemue people have lost their identity.....bevsue they don't know.where to.belong....they kept on licking the ass of Yiibo people....and no place for them.in either the northern or eastern side of the. Country....now, they want to become the governor of Anambra state...now, ask them.on which threshold....who will support you...when those you could have been fighting against have kept on using you to. make their Biafra voice known...
Igala or. whatever people. you, call yourself ..leep lo king Yiibo people ass in Anambra state till you get sense.....

Igala will be govern Anambra State or they break it

TheChameleon:
We don't want a history lesson.

We need Igalas to lead Anambra and it will happen.

Those who ruled the state previously left it a shiithole. ONLY Obiano tried a bit

It must happen

Elliotwaveforec:
Igalas conquered Igbos militarily but didn't conquer them culturally; Igbos have conquered Igalas culturally by forcing them to bear Igbo names and speak Igbo.

You want to conquer a people? Stop them from speaking their language and force your own language on them.

You are versed

Blake755:
Is there language different from normal igbo

Night and day

bigpicture001:
Once the OP and the other guy mentioned the forbidden word he stopped replying comments...thank you seun

You were saying?

Enough is enough of handouts for the igala people who are indigenous Anambrarians

Quality20:
Igala or idoma

Governor and deputy

SenatePresdo:
Why don't you contest for the next Anambra Election, or ask your father to contest.

I will vote for you.

Genocidal perpetrators like you

SenatePresdo:
In the whole states in Nigeria, minorities find it difficult to produce a Governor, even in multicultural states, not to talk of homogenous states like Anambra.

Anambra State is not homogeneous.

Igala is a major group there

We have the Oba of Awka

dinachi:
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.

Anambra State will soon feel the heat

dinachi:
That will happen right after an Igbo man becomes the governor of Kogi State. Indigenous Igbos abound in many communities in Odolu, Igala Mela and other Local Governments in Kogi State. So their marginalization must come to an end.

That doesn't mean you should be committing genocide against igala man and woman in Anambra State

You cannot justify that in anyway. It's their ancestral land and home

Ojiofor:
Make sure you will buy form and sponsor his campaign next election.

We will. The UN would be notified duly. Igala language must be taught in Anambra State schools by fire by force ...
I hate injustice in any form

Time for igala independence in Anambra State

The Court's founding treaty, called the Rome Statute, grants the ICC jurisdiction over four main crimes.

First, the crime of genocide is characterised by the specific intent to destroy in whole or in part a national, ethnic, racial or religious group by killing its members or by other means: causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Igala people need to rise up...

Aldol:
I support this. Equity should be maintained

Genocide is actually happening in Anambra State

loosecanon50:
I knows he’s hale and hearty. All I’m asking you is where is he??

Where you ipobs are not permitted to know

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

chichar1:
Bunch of useless entities.

How can you call a whole tribe that makes up to 40% of Anambra State bunch of.... That's very unfair

Equity is non-negotiable

LILTJAY:
i support this

say no to igala marginilization in anampant

True. The fact that the igala man may be a Muslim must not stop such democratic quest...

Johnfavor54:
Hfry

Don't be unfortunate

loosecanon50:
What she means is that your president-select is currently missing in action.

How? Our president elect Asiwaju Bola Tinubu GCFR is hale and hearty.

Equity is needed in Anambra State

Igala people occupy Nzam, Inoma, Owelle, Ukwala, Ala, Odomagwu, Udi, Igbokenyi, Igbedor, Onugwa and Odegbe in Anambra state but they have never been governor, deputy governor, commissioner or anything in Anambra’s political space.

It's time to correct the wrongs of the governmental composition of the Anambra State... The igala man and woman are bonafide indigenous people of Anambra State and deserve the chance to partake in governance in Anambra State.

The unhealthy and unethical marginalisation must stop 🛑


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.
