When will you start using ur head, if you dunno how things are done u either ask or shut ur mouth. It is not the work of the NFF to cater for the team in Atlanta, the moment they left the shores of the country for Olympics tour it has become the work of the Ministry of Sports to care for them, they left as Team Nigeria. U see, nobody is saying the NFF is full of Saints, in fact this is like the worst NFF Regime for a long while now. What i'm saying is, you shouldn't listen to one side and believe while accusing the other side.

jhidey08:
I dunno if u have a problem understanding things, u said he won the only medal for us and i told u he couldn't have won anything lesser than that. Lemme tell u one of the few things he did. He requested stadium entrance tickets from the leader of the d u23 delegation, when d man gave him d tickets 4d players and officials, Siasia asked him for all the remaining tickets but the man explained 2 him dat d tickets are meant 4 other dignitaries he quarreled and turned d back of the players to the man by lying to them. I don't expect u 2 believe this anyway, but this is like the smallest of what he did

oloriooko:
So this was his crime?
NFF is the chief criminal here so stop beating about the bush. Am still waiting to hear what he did wrong

... a team that should have won gold, he selected players based
on favoritism and he wants us to celebrate bronze with him; we are
wiser than that.”

This NFF no come get shame again or what?

aresa:
Why are you asking me?

Shouldn't be asking Nigerians all over the country saying the same thing and also many in this same thread saying the same thing?

And I know what's best for Nigeria is sad news to you ipobs, but try worry about your ipob and let Nigerians worry about Nigeria...

aresa:
Many areas in Nigeria today are already getting close to 18 hours @ less than 5000MW so with additional 12,000MW from Dangote alone in less than 2 ears from now it's safe to conclude that we are almost there..

Correction on my part.

We have 10,396.0 MW installed capacity so adjusting my math means a good forecast for 27,671MW.

Aftet 55 years of failure and 16 years of PDP and stolen $20 billion power funds, we are going to double our installed capacity in less than 4 years..

Nonsense. The Ijaw support for militancy and economic terrorists invited the military operations and they should learn to live with the discomfort for as long as they continue hailing acts of terror and economic sabotage.

This is just the beginning, nobody told the North Easterners before they formed civilian JTF to fish out the terrorists amongst them and cooperate with the military to minimise collateral damage.

peterjero:
All I just wanted to do was read comments and laugh at the way people display ignorance. Your example is perfect for that unintelligent write by that commenter who doesn't know it cost the taxpayers heavily to prosecute corruption cases, the PMBs administration told us they've recovered loots yet they didn't tell us the cost of the recovery, they saved a whopping 3 trillion from TSA yet can't pay salaries, now the means of our survival is lowly priced at international market yet he raised tension in the area he gets it which has further depleted our output and they call him man with a vision. They don't even know it would cost more to mobilise logistics to battle front than persuade the warring factions in the Niger Delta after all what they want we know unlike the boko haram, whose purpose we are yet to know. I rest my case brother people who understand governance are very few even our leaders. Imagine promising heaven during campaign now what we hear are excuses, blames and counter blames.

Matters like this will be expressly approved since Lagos has aligned with the center (F.G)

As a Lagosian, I am happy about this development and I hope LASG will spend more on infrastructure; investing in an alternate mode of transportation, opening up new roads like he has started, Mass housing scheme like the Jakande era and massive CCTV cameras for security purpose.

Lagos State is definitely on the right path as a result of a consistency in Governance not forgetting the 25years Regional Masterplan for Lagos.

OrlandoOwoh:
You've not made any sense either. If you're on the wanted list of the US, your pictures will be at every point of entry, airports and seaports. Once you tender your international passport, the immigration officer, while pretending on checking it, would draw the attention of security agents to arrest you. For your information, if Aisha Buhari was a suspect, the funfare that was shown in the airport by those that received her would have drawn the attention of the security men to arrest her.

veraponpo:
This is exactly my view too OP.

Many people don't know the great help that this administration has done for this country by reducing our expenditure, reflating the economy with big spending especially in the area of infrastructural developments, reducing spending on recurrent outlays, etc.

It might not be good enough but far better than going down the drain as we were heading before May 2015.

We smile at last I believe.

mrkayusfit:
[s][/s]Seun does not say you shouldn't secede if you want to, all he said is do not use nairaland to promote seccession. He owns the site and set the rules. As long as we are under his roof (nairaland), we will be under his rules. Shikena. If u want Biafra u can promote it on other social platforms. Peace

pazienza:
How exactly do you know they would not align with Ndiigbo instead? Who made you their spokesperson? The status quo is that they are comfortable in Anambra state, and are assimilating fast and furious into Igbo culture willingly.
By the way, from the beginning of this exchange, never had Saud anything about Igalas outside SE, it's you in your malady that drew the Igalas spread all over middlebelt into this discussion.

They ( Igalas in SE) were part of Bia*** 1.0, nothing suggests that they wouldn't be part of Biafra 2.0, so far, no iota of resentment is coming from them or their rulers.

You are rather the desperate one creating scenarios that do not yet exist.

On Anioma and Igbanke, I can only laugh at you. Oshimili and Aniocha are no go areas, don't let Ikeg48 or any other Oshimili/Aniocha man catch here trying to link them with your dead project.

Igbanke had already rejected Edos and are pushing for re Union with Anioma, they are not bilingual, they speak only their Igboid dialect and they had outrightly refused to assimilate into Edo, that alone should tell you where their allegiance lies,we atleast know that it is not with Edo.

Why does that upset you so much??

The Rulership

The "Atta" is the traditional paramount king of the Igala kingdom. "Atta", as the name implies is the father or custodian of the entire Igala people's culture. Tradition holds that "The Atta of Igala (the king) was a priest-king. He was in charge of the major Igala sacred objects, shrines and festivals. His provincial chiefs (Am 'Onu) were also incharge of the various shrines, sacred objects and festivals in their own areas •of authority. The Atta and his chiefs (Am 'Onu) therefore, play very active roles in the traditional religion.

Idah, the cultural centre or headquarter of the Kingdom is where the Attah resides. From there he cares for the entire kingdom. He also delegates certain powers to other chiefs, as it is also their responsibility in some cases to exercise power of adjudication in matters of dispute among their immediate subjects. Attaship is hereditary and it is ascended to by those who belong to the royal lineage. It is by a rotating system of succession in which three other lineages hold the royal office in turn before the cycle is complete and a son succeeds his father.

The Origin and Development

The actual origin of the Igala people is not quite known. Different people present many versions of legends of immigration There are claims, for instance, that the Igala people came from the Jukun (Kwarara/a), some says Benin, others Yoruba. Yet, others feel they migrated from Mecca (Southern Yemen) or Mali.

In the past, the reigning Atta, His Royal Majesty. Agabaidu (Dr.) Aliyu O. Obaje, had. for instance, explained: "the Igala came from Southern Yemen, passed through Ethiopia (where there is an ethnic group called the Gala) and through the (medieval times} Empire of Mali, to Jukun land; then finally, to our present location." In another instance, the Atta said that the Igala "came from the Arab country of Yemen and were in the present Nigeria at the same time as the founding fathers of the Yorubas, the Jukuns and the Beriberis or Kanuris Bornu. He also maintains that the earlier migration into Igala land was at "about the 12th century A.D.... led by Amina, a Zaria princess and warrior, who fought her way to Idah ... with Hausa and Nupe followers.

Certain traditions even hold that the Igala are of Fulani origin, simply because of the similarities in their physical features. It IS clear that Fulanis do not speak a Kwa language. And owing to the linguistic affinity, others affirm the Yoruba connections. For Byng Halt notes that, "It is not surprising that within a short period of arrival in Igala land, a Yoruba is well acquainted with the language.” He attributes the ease in learning the language to the closeness of the two languages. Armstrong sticks to this same view when he said: "the most definite historical statement that can be made about Igala is that, they had a common origin with the Yoruba and that the separation took place long enough ago to allow for their fairly considerable linguistic differences. There is a whole corpus of oral traditions on the origin of the Igala people. http://www.igalaassociationusa.org/about-us/history-of-igala-kingdom/

Igala are an ethnic group of Nigeria. Igala practice a number of different religions, including ATR, Christianity, and Islam.

The home of the Igala people is situated east of the river Niger and Benue confluence and astride the Niger in Lokoja, Kogi state of Nigeria with its headquarters in Idah[seat of the Attah]. The area is approximately between latitude 6°30 and 8°40 north and longitude 6°30 and 7°40 east and covers an area of about 13,665 square kilometers (Oguagha P.A 1981) The Igala population is estimated at two million, they can also be found in Delta, Anambra and Edo States of Nigeria. The Igala language is closely related to the Yoruba and Itsekiri languages.

In Igala tradition, infants from some parts of the kingdom, like Ankpa receive three deep horizontal cuts on each side of the face, slightly above the corners of their mouths, as a way of identifying each other. However, this practice is becoming less common.

The Igalas are ruled by a figure called the "Attah". The word Attah means 'Father' and the full title of the ruler is 'Attah Igala', meaning, the Father of Igalas (the Igala word for King is Onu). Although "Attah" means "father"', female rulership is recognized and Igala has had female rulers in the past (Boston 1968).

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.

Attah Ameh Oboni is known to be very brave and resolute. He is 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 by the British to depose and exile him, he committed suicide by hanging himself to forestall the plan. He is regarded by most Igalas as the last real Attah Igala.

There is an Igala association in the United States, called Igala Association USA. The new Attah of Igala is HRM Idakwo Michael Ameh Oboni II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igala_people

greatjoey:
My brother, I am an Igala guy. History has it that the Igala has so much to do with the Igbo. The inhabitants of Igala Mela have Igbo ancestry. They remain the traditional custodias of Igala chieftaincy title. We refer to them as 'Etemahi'. Besides, Ida which is the traditional Igala home has Igbo background as it it believed that the Igbo were the first sojourners. Every Attah Igala is crowned or coronated by the ETEMAHI clan who has Igbo ancestry. I know my history well. You cannot seperate the two tribes. The present day division was brought about by the British for administrative convenience, to weaken Igala growing popularity in the past, and to make the north more populated than the south.

Lol! I have been laughing so hard reading your posts that peeps around me are wondering what's going on.

Discussion is about Igalas in Anambra, but you dragged those in Kogi, Benue, Even as far as Plateau into the discussion.

And just when I thought your malady can't get worst, you went and dragged Anioma and Igbanke into the discussion, haha!

This is all comical.

pazienza:
Lol. I can't make head or tail of this your post.

Seriously, dude you need help.

pazienza:
Lol! How can one attach to what already is attached to him? Those Igala communities are already attached to Ndiigbo, they are bilingual, and what's more, they are part and parcel of SE, likewise the Trilingual Ette community in Enugu with Idoma, Igbo and Igala elements co existing.

You are the one tearing your pants over this issue, jumping from one tree to another over it.

Better go and worry about your Edo group.

Why is that so hard for you to do, you unconscionable liar??
