Is Adeleke is daddy or he is just saying what he reads on social media.
Tinubu has never said he is from Osun state.
We all know he is an orphan brought up by Alhaja Mogaji and he has taken Lagos as his state whether his parents are from there or not.

What type of phone are you using? I can't see jack of what you uploaded here.
The title says Igala colonization of 'northern Igbo states in 1450-18th century' but you claimed Igala colonized Igboland in 1945. Are both the same thing? No, they're not. Did Igala invade parts of Igboland? Yes, they did. They did try to institute a system there? Yes, they tried. Did they succeed after a long period of time 1450-1700s? No, they didn't. How large was the area they invaded? Very small part which is actually parts of Nsukka in present day Enugu state? By the late 1700s, all their institutions had collapsed and their people assimilated by a superior culture and tradition. In the Delta and Anambra areas, they were easily assimilated leaving no single trace because they lost many battles.
A European Explorer called Joseph Hawkins wrote about the Igbo/Igala war in the late 1700s in which the Igala lost. What then are you yapping about?
You know nothing about Igbo history and only driven by hate to push a false narrative. Nsukka is not Ilorin and Kwara where your conquerors banned the Yoruba festival called Isese from being celebrated. Everything in Nsukka right from the 19th century is Igbo till date. Choke on it.
Even Nri is owned by your Igala slave masters.
An Igbo slave like you can only say what you want but not what had happened.

The Igala mega state attained the height of
its fame during the mid-17th century. The rise of the Igala mega state disrupted and contributed to the shift of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade from the Bight of Benin to the Bight of Biafra and the decline of the Benin Empire between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Idah-Benin war (1515–1516) was a war of mutual independence. The Igala state reached its political and commercial supremacy afterwards, when it became a leading exporter of choral beads, horses, medicine, skills and of course, slaves to the coastal region. Its growing power, nevertheless, changed the dynamics of the earlier complex relationships with several northern Igbo communities. Joseph Hawkins in 1797 already captured the relentless raiding of the extreme northern Igboland by the Igalas. In his “A History of a Voyage to the Coast of Africa” he noted the growing conflicts between the ‘Ebo Country’ and ‘Galla’.

By the late 17th century, the Igalas conquered and held socio-economic, political and religious control of the indigenous northern Igbo mini-states. From Opi, Nsukka, Nsugbe, several Igbo communities on the Anambra river, the lower Niger, through Okpanam to Asaba the Igala held sway. Trading out post with Onitsha and the Ijo middlemen were fully established. The mythical Omeppa, Inenyi Ogugu set up garrison at Opi and several Igala warlords played their part in the build up of the Igala colonial take over of these northern Igbo states. But no other individual played a greater role in shaping Igala-Igbo colonisation during the 18th century than Onoja Oboni, the legendary Igala warrior and slave trader.

Onoja Oboni’s personality and heritage has been shrouded in mythical imagery over time. Ranging from being the Son of Eri, the grandson of Aganapoje to being a descendant of one of the Idah royal families; the priestly sub-clan of Obajeadaka in Okete-ochai-attah. The key areas of consensus are; he was a master strategist, slave raider and trader, conqueror, coloniser and imperialist. Added to these were his diplomacy, expansionist traits and the acculturation of conquered territories. He built himself a walled city in Ogurugu and recent archaeological findings of the remnant of the ruins of his fort on the grounds of the University of Nsukka confirm this. The Igala soldiers built forts and fortifications that stretched from Ete down to Opi and then to Anambra. Oboni’s rise to power affected the history of the North-western Nsukka and the Igbo communities on the Anambra River and the Lower Niger during the Igala commercial and socio-cultural ascendancy and domination. This was the reinforcing of the golden age of Igala imperial expansion.

In this way, Igala mega state took control and allegiance were paid. Until the decline of Igala power, the Ezes of Enugu Ezike, Akpugo, Nkpologu, Ibagwa Ani and Opi continued to receive their titles from Idah; investiture, installation and confirmation of their office was only by the royal blessing of Attah Igala in Idah. The Eze were only validated when the returned home with Igala choral beads ‘aka’, staff of office believed to be imbued with protective charms to ensure longevity and security of the Eze as well as prestige animal (horse) to bolster up their ego. There were also periodic royal visits to the Atta Igala to pay tributes and as well intended to strengthen diplomatic ties and inter-group relations, renew allegiance, and assured insurance from slave raids.

Yujin:
😂 😂 😂 😂 Igala colonized Igboland? In 1945? Even in Kogi state, there are still many Igbo communities till date. Rather, many Igalas assimilated into Igbo communities and are today Igbos. Where then is the colonization? Where's their culture in the areas you claimed they colonized if they were actually colonizers? Yeriba hatred will never allow your mind to think things through before writing them.
I challenge you to mention just one Onitsha indigene that says he's a mixed blood.

Oga, apart from Lagos (that was developed by majorly Igbos and non Igbos), which other yoruba state do you think is more developed than any of the SE states?
Even just only Ibadan city is more developed than the entire Igboland infrastructurally and you know it but just acting ostrich.

Stop Crying
Don't be a mumu.Only cute Abiola is "they"?
When Fulanis,Nupe migrated to Ilorin,they inter -married with the Yorubas,so there is bound to be Yoruba Fulani and Yoruba Nupe bloodline too.

When Igala colonised Igboland in 1445,there were inter marriages between the Igalas and Igbos.There is no pure Igbos especially in Anambra,Onitsha to be precise.
One of the Chiefs of the Armed forces is an Igboman of the Igala stock.

Osariemen12:
Yorubas should be thankful to us for birthing Prince Izoduwa (though banished from our Bini kingdom). His banishment led to the founding of Ile Ife because he settled there. It is his name Izoduwa that most Yorubas corrupt to Oduduwa which has no meaning in Yoruba language as of today.

It is high time young people in the southwestern part of Nigeria were taught the real history and origin of their founding fathers instead of the cock and bull story of someone falling from the sky. It is shameful.

In all, all the kings in Yoruba land are subjects of the Oba of Bini. I urge His Royal Majesty Oba Ewuare the 2nd, the great son of Oba Akporokporo of Bini Kingdom, to weigh into the tussle between his two subjects and settle whatever the case may be as a father.

Oba gha tokpe'ere!
Even with all the evidence posted from the time when my grandfather was not even birthed,you are still arguing.
We have nothing to gain financially from this old history but you can't reinvent the wheel,you cant rewrite the history of Benin.
The greatest of Benin historian was Jacob Egharevba, his book
(Ekharavbi itan Edo (1933) and its first translation A short history of Benin (Lagos, C.M.S Bookshop1936)
opened thus ...Many, many years ago, Odua ( oduduwa) of uhe( Ile-Ife) the father and the progenitor

of the Yoruba Kings sent his eldest son Obagodo who took the title of Ogiso with a

large retinue all the way from Uhe to found a Kingdom in this part of the World.

At the moment of his departure his father gave him a charm in the form of a snail

shell containing some earth to invest him with absolute power and right over the

lands that should come under his sway".P.7


The first and all other Ogisos are from Oduduwa which means that Yorubas were the progenitors of those Ogisos and later Eweka,the first Oba of Benin.

Everything revolved around Yoruba.


Would you dispute his narration and all the evidences that negate your opinion?

GEJ paid only #3.9 trillion fuel subsidy.
He started borrowing money to pay workers in 2014 when oil price dropped to $97.8 bpd. grin
He made #54 trillion in oil sale,depleted the $18 billion ECA fund,depleted our reserve from $43 billion to $28 billion and still borrowed #11 trillion even after Obasanjo gave him a clean slate but the only thing zombies remember is rice selling for #8000 per bag.

SmartPolician:
How does Forbes determine these things? I am 100% certain that these people didn't disclose their earnings to anyone because rich people, probably because of safety concerns, don't like discussing their wealth.

Given what the media has made us believe, there are people who are by far richer than these folks who made the list but they are silent kingmakers who don't want the world to know them. We have been told they are the biggest problems in our world undecided
Money is not something that can be hidden because it is for spending.If you have money,the world will know just because of the way you spend it.
Technology has made it possible for Forbes,Bloomberg etc to determine the richest in the world especially through your assets etc.
They estimate net worth through a comprehensive, multi-source methodology that involves investigative reporting, public filings, financial data, and expert interviews. They value public assets by checking stock prices and estimate private assets by comparing their financial figures to public companies, then subtracting known debts to arrive at a figure. While not always perfectly precise due to the nature of private wealth, their process involves significant research to create an informed estimate.

There are no insecurities anywhere. These statistics from firms headed by Yorubas are usually doctored to suit the narrative that the yorubas are well off compared to other regions in Nigeria.

I'm asking you to tell me the natural resources from Osun state and Ekiti state and Ondo state compared to Bayelsa, Delta and AkwaIbom for the Your people to have better economic lives. Osun, Ekiti and Ondo are economic dead ends.

The 13% oil derivation and the various taxes generated from oil companies in SS states surpasses every economic activity combined in your states, but the need to lie to save face and drive baseless narratives is the reason for such thrash report.

It's challenging to definitively name the single richest tribe among the Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa due to a lack of reliable, comprehensive data, but the Igbo and Yoruba are often cited for their economic prowess, with the Igbo known for business and trade acumen, and the Yoruba for commerce and education. The Hausa also possess significant economic and political power, particularly in Northern Nigeria. Ultimately, wealth is found across all three major groups, and generalizations about entire tribes can be misleading.
