The igala people of Kogi state are part of the Yoruba race, the igala language is a branch of the yoruba language.

Igala people even though living in the middle belt of Nigeria have the same ancestors and share the same culture and traditions with the yoruba people just like the ishekiris in the niger delta and the Bini people of Edo state.

The dialect of the igala people Idah, Imane, Ankpa, Dekina, Ogugu, Ibaji and Ife all have the same sounds and intonations with yoruba language even many yoruba people understand what an igala person is saying.

Bros, true true.

Igala language is a Yoruboid language.

Nevertheless, we are not forcing Igala to join us.
And please, remove Edo.
Cos we've disowned them, e don tey

What is the business of a half-literate northern cow herder in igala and yoruba matter?

Apparently, we have been ruling you people since ages, it shows how smart and advanced we are.

To answer your question, it is a reminder that igala people won't be joining any biafra

Well, that's the decision of igalas themselves, if they want to go with Igbos fine, if they prefer Yorubas fine and If they wish you go with northerner people so be it.

As for Omoluabi wey i be, Yorubas are going with the 6 states of South west and with a referendum for Itshekiri (Delta), Kwara south and Kwara central, Kogi West and igalas

Their language is yoruboid... But dey are distinct people

Just leave the Edo people alone, they'll still come and beg to join Oduduwa Republic because they're our descendants.

There's no chance of then having an independent country because none of the terms and conditions favour them.

The itsekiris in Delta State have never denied their ancestors from Its, it's only the Benins that are twisting history.

I served in Kogi state and was able to traverse the state, and I can tell you that Igala people have nothing in common with yorubas. If you had said okun of Kogi west, I will agree with you to an extent, but Igala? Even merely looking at an average Igala man, you won't observe any similarity whatsoever with yoruba.

Hypocrites, this same person claiming that another ethnicity with nothing in common with them are part of yoruba race will be swearing and pouring spittle that Igbo tribes that speak same language, have same culture and traditions, look alike and share virtually everything in common are not Igbos simply because someone said they are South South. SMH.

More hypocrites showing their faces!

You have already concluded them that they can't be an independent nation, really? Based on what factors?

The Bini people said they don't want to be part of Oduduwa, why not leave them alone instead of all these blackmail and intimidation?

FYI, if the Bini people refuse to be part of Oduduwa, it automatically means you can't have Itshekiri too because you will have to get past Bini people to have access to Itshekiri and UN can't grant such.

Igala kingdom has been in existence before the name Yoruba was given to you people around 17c or so. you can't call Igala Yoruba .go and check your history that how they call people Nago and olukumi people Yoruba minewhile there are igalas. Igala can not be Yoruba go and check your history bro. the only people that existed among igala people than are igala kingdom, benin kjngdom, oyo empire and the rest nothing like Yoruba than. they just use educate to turn the story upside side via ajayi Crowder .main you igala are in southeast south south and many other places, igala ruled back than ask any Yoruba man to tell you the meaning of ikoyi in yoruba, it not found ikoyi means time in igala. remember even the nupe ruled oyo for many years. before they think to form Yoruba. even some minority tribe have been there before Yoruba. go and ask about Attah Igala

Lol you can't disowned edo forget those internet rats saying rubbish edo is part of Yoruba .

Itsekiri and Yoruba land are connected via Atlantic Ocean. Same way Alaska in the US gets connected to the mainland US.

A simple study of the map will teach you that Alaska is closer to Russia and and shares thousands of miles of boundary with Canada but far and detached from the US in physical land territory.

We oduduwas and the Itsekiris will connect same way Alaska and mainland US connect together.

Pls tell me the diplomatic and economic factors that favours Edo Republic if they get independent Republic?

I have noticed the first set people who accuse others of something very ominous are the perpetrators of such crap. What has Kogi East got to do with Yoruba? If it is educationally worthy to be examined it could be how Kogi West and Central relate to Yoruba. However it is outright criminality to insinuate Kogi East has any ancestral connection with Yoruba.

Yoruba kingdom and language gave birth to igala language.

Different tribe, but they migrated from Ile-Ife same way other Yorubas migrated from Ife.

Oba Sir Adesoji Tadenikawo Aderemi, the then Ooni of Ife said 'the son has come to greet his father' when the late Oba Erediawa paid his a maiden visit in Ife in 1979.

And the descendants of Oranmiyan are the royal line of Benin Kingdom till today. You're here arguing that Benin is a different tribe from Yorubas.

Better strike the iron when it's hot than for your to beg later.

Benin is from the yoruba kingdom.

Their tradition, culture is yoruba.

They call themselves omo odua.

You served in Kogi yet you don't understand igala language

Let's type igala words and see who will understand igala language better than Yoruba people

Egba yii or Iko yii - This time
Egba le or Iko le - That time
Ojo - Day
Ane - Night
Ona - Tomorrow
Eñini - Today
Otona - Next tomorrow
Iko duu - Every time
Aladi - Week
Aladi ki a wa - the week that is coming
Ochu - Month
Odo - Year
Ochu ekeji - Second month
Aladi yii - This Week
Onale - Yesterday

This is igala language, yet you tell me its not Yoruboid

An average Ekiti or Ondo man like me will understand igala easily

The bolded is arrant nonsense!!! Yoruba migrated to present day Nigeria from southern part of Upper Volta which was northern part of Gold Coast. They formed a migratory team with Fulani and settled in Oyo ile which was 30 to 40 miles north of Ilorin, Kwara State. The southward movement of Yoruba was as a result of uproot precipitated by Fulani and Nupe. The crap about Ife is a made-up story.

Oga shut up, I dare you to write 5 sentences in Igala if I won't as a Yoruba guy understand 60% of it.

Yet Igala is not a Yoruboid language

Yoruba and Igala are two different ethnic group, the only similarity which I observed among them is there cuisine.
