Ibrahim mr fish: Igala,is one of the most organise tribe in 9ja.We were a well organise and powerful kingdom b4 d coming of British.We use 2 control Nupe,some part of Yoruba and yes even Igbo.So u guys are so not in our level.So show some respect.

NRI PRIEST: Dude you are soo soo ignorant meeeen!! Lol. Is it the same Igala that adopted the ancient Nri four days of the week(eke,oye,afor and nkwor) ?? Is it the same Igala that adopted the famous Nri deities "Ogwugwu" and "Ikenga" ?? Is it the Igala that most likely trace their roots to "Eri" ?? Igbo has no culture but the Nigerian movie industry was build around the Igbo culture and traditions! And for your information we had "Priest Kings" before the arrivals of the Europeans. What we dont practice is "monarchy". Time for home work,little boy!

I see you avoided my hard punches yet you go around and kept running your dirty mouth. What exactly do you mean by "we controled the Igbo" ?
Oh,let me guess. You will not reply my post because you know you are a rusty empty barrel. Its an insult to compare Igbo to the Igalas. Eri gave birth to the Igalas tribe but you wont know that because you a bassstard that doesnt know the way to his fathers house. I seriously doubt you are Igala like someone said. If you avoid this reply then I will know you are an inferior and a weak nonentity!

2mch: LMAO!!! So Igbo's marry the dead. hmmm!

I have heard of this ritual before. And also marrying wives for lonely women

I stand by my first post; No we dont marry wivies for lonely woman as our culture is against lesbianism. Think with your head,nigguh ! When a woman loses her husband after been married to him for considerably long time and had many children but wasnt able to bear him a male child to continue his lineage the "umunna" kinsmen will make plans and marry a wife in the name of the deceased husband and chose a man from his kinsmen cater to her and bear preferably male children who will advance their fathers(deceased) name and stop it from going extinct. We practice this tradition because we emphasize in keeping fathers name alive. One of my great aunt lost her husband and didnt have male children and she has passed child bearing age and the kinsmen married a wife in the name of her deceased husband and today am proud to say that she has given us very healthy five boys and two beautiful girls and we are contributing in sending them to school. Onye nwe anyi mma mma dili gi !

RealBitch: Im from Anambra state, and There's this trend amongst igbos, forcing a Man to marry a dead woman. My mum says its the tradition, particularly if the woman has children for him outside wedlock. Does this tradition make sense I've seen two men goes through it and yet another distant relative is about undergoing same process. He's already looking traumatized and though i dont like him,I feel this is unfair.Is it right to make a man carry out marital rites on a dead woman?

Who da fhuck is this ? Which town in Anambra are you from because imma get to the bottom of this. This is a big fat lie! You are not Igbo and certainly not an Anambrarian! There is nothing and I repeat there is no practice like this in Igboland. This is nothing but a slander against the Igbo by a non Igbo who is posing like one.I advice everybody to disregard this rubbish!

afam4eva: Now, i get why Izu and P Square are close. He wasn't even supposed to direct a musical movie featuring P Square sometime ago.

I think there's something about Jos....i don't really know cos i've not been there.

Jos was a very calm place to raise kids until this fulani and berom conflict destroyed it all. Jos is like the Enugu of the SE. Indigines are mostly catholis like their Igbo visitors,it has very good university,great scenery with rocky mountains,the ppl are so nice and they love the Igbos. Most Igbos born there are very cool headed,calm,collected and usually successful too. I love Jos and the memory of the place still lingers in my mind.

If the law says that the cleaner of Aso rock will go home with 2 billion weekly, then so shall it be. So, we have to arrest the law and not the person obeying the law.

Dont give yourseld headache because some Nigerians are so ignorant beyond redemption; The said money spent was accrue to her.

I watched the probe on tv and you dont need a jupiter to tell you that she is clean but it seems her juniors bears a grudge against her maybe because she didnt allow them to steal..lol And do you remember she is the one that ousted Hon. Nembe from the panel,disgracefully. That woman is fearless and she knows her s.h.iit.

afam4eva: I must watch that movie produced by Izu Ojukwu. He's arguably the best action director in Nigeria.

The guy is good and he came from nothing but very determined like Jos raised Igbos like me,p square,obinna nsofor,mikel obi,saint obi and more.

Ajengogo: I was only praising the gallantry of my ebullient Attah of Igala without any intention of whipping up tribal sentiment. If you ever had a king in your kingdom that has the charisma, the sagacity, the oratory, the awe, etc. that characterised the late Agaba idu; and you failed to praise these attributes, then you must be something else

Abeegi go sidown; You make sound as if Igala defeated Biafra or that Igala as insignificant as they are can stand close the Igbos! Later now you will be crying you are being oppressed because you are minority! Dont start what you cant finish !

Adieu His Royal Higness, Agaba Idu. You have fought a good fight and passed the baton on to a worthy successor. Rest in peace as we continue to propagate your message of unity across the globe. We are proud of your accomplishments. Good bye!

So,the atta igala achieved greatness by confronting Biafrian fighter plane. Always wanna start war when there is none.

MacLovington: .

I am not Ibo but I know that Ika people refer to Bini/Edo as Idu. Parts of Yoruba land also refer to Bini as Ado.

I would be interesting to know how these words "Idu and Ado" originated.

But this being Nairaland, the whole thing will soon degenerate into a fight for tribal supremacy.

Very interesting. An Igala guy I conversed with earlier told me " Idu" means lion and now this is my first time of hearing Bini was called " Ado n' Idu" which is what Onicha are affectionatelly. And there are two words in that phrase " Ado n' Idu" which depicts two different thing. Meaning "Ado" means something and ""Idu" another. I will like to know what "Idu" and " Ado" mean in Bini.

Revolva: Rest in peace attah. Read more here http://africanspotlight.com/2012/07/attah-of-igala-and-chancellor-university-of-lagos-dies/

Me olu le attah agaba idu proudly igala and shame to anyone that does not know about the great attah because he kept him self from politics and the word agaba idu can be also used by the northern igbos that is to show you that igbos from that area have igala origin especially aguleri community in anambra

My he the AGABA IDU rest in most peaceful bossom of our God. But dude,the Agulueri you mentioned are children of Eri and Nri i much more older than Igala so how can you say you are older than your papa?? There is no doubt in my mind that we the Nri are related to Igala but we are yet to come about when and how that occured. Most Anambra,Delta Igbo,parts of Idoma and Igala lands are the offsprings of Nri Enwelana which a son of Eri.

vinibabe: . AGABA IDU is for OCI'IDOMA that is the traditional Chief of Idoma, like ATTA IGAlA

Now I am confused; Seems like Idoma,Igbo and Igala has more in common than they actually know. Well Vinibabe,aletheia thinks differently. He thinks is an Igala expression for " Great lion" while I think its an Igbo expression for "a great man" or " great masqurade" so you tell me what "Agaba Idu" means in Idoma language. Thanks dear.

okeyxyz: I don't give a "f**k" where the word comes from, I'm only pointing out your flawed reasoning. You can't say "idu" is not igbo because one igbo guy happens not to know what it means, simple. Now if that comes across to you as ethnic jingoism, then i'm not suprised your logic was flawed in the first place.

He sounds offensive a bit.

Politics › Re: Attah Igala (Aliyu Obaje) Is Dead by NRIPRIEST(m): 4:34am On Jul 17, 2012

@aletheia,I read somewhere that "Onoja" the daughter of Eri married a man and they bore the Igalla tribe. Igala even have the ancient Nri four days of the week and also has the "Ogwugwu" and "Ikenga" deities which originated from Nri. These factors show a strong Nri origin.

So "Agaba" in Igala means great and " Idu" lion or is it the other way round. I have a good reason why I am askng all these. Bear with me.

Politics › Re: Attah Igala (Aliyu Obaje) Is Dead by NRIPRIEST(m): 3:55am On Jul 17, 2012

aletheia: If it's Igbo, how come you don't know the meaning of "Idu". Not surprising that the phrase occurs in Igboland. . .seeing as some Igbos (some Western Igbos, Onitsha, and around Enugu) descended from Igala. Agaba Idu means Great Lion.

Nop,Igala originated from Eri. And "Agaba Idu" doesnt literally mean "great lion". Its an idiomatic expression and can be used to describe a great man. Agaba is actually a masqurade with great esteem in my town but I will call my father tomorow and find out what "Idu" mean because there is another expression he uses " Idu n' Oba".

Where do you guys get this " Agaba Idu" from? I swear its an Igbo word. We always call a great person " Agaba Idu" in Anambra where I come from. Is it also used by Igalas. I know what "Agaba" means but the "Idu" I dont know. I am very curous and needs some explanation. Onicha is also affectionatelly called " Onicha Ado n' Idu".
