IGALA COLONISATION OF NORTHERN IGBO STATES* (1450–18th century). Michael Achile Umameh.

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.

So a babaric tribe raiding extreme north is now a sign of strength? How many of the towns raided did they occupy and install an igala king?

Ogbuefi2020:

Shut up my friend, a tiny section of No-man's-land is the only thing you have to compete with the signature of every towns in the East

You mean this large SE signature?

Onitsha

Ode.
Small Igala colonised you Osus and you even accepted their Nri as your all in all.
Willing Slaves!

BKayy:

Then who are the Igbos?

Like I said, "Slander is the language of Cowards"

Slander is the language of the cowards
We've heard it enough from you in fact we have memorized it.
It still does not explained why Binis shouldn't lay claim to their ancestral land

EastisBae:


This is no brainer to any person who has traveled around Nigeria. When you see blocks of 5 storey buildings in such close proximity, just know you're in the East, Igboland!

Same way, when you see flat roofs with vast bungalows, know you're in the North!

However, when you see a sea of rusted roofs on top of bungalows and 1 storey houses built with mud, just know you're in the skull mining region

Meanwhile, the first picture you posted is Onitsha while the second aeriel one is Aba!!

Yorubas and conspiracies sha.

You mean the same Igala that rely on:
1. Nri for spiritual guidance
2. Aboh for royal stability
3. Igbo for clothing and metal works
Mysteriously ruled over the same Igboland that nobody but themselves know of? Like, You ruled over somebody and the person did not know

You Yorubas really think that Igbo are like you that every minority took turns to subjugate. By Minorities, I mean Fon, Nupe, Fulani etc.
One (Fon) even brag about it till date.

The lands of skull miners and amalekites can't relate

NoIgboSoundTueh:

If they could, they would be the ones singing it not Shameless busy body like you Yorubas.

Do you know why, they are not the ones doing this but you?
because they can't explain how the crown Prince of Bini that allegedly founded Onitsha has Igbo name

If we are to go by their allegation, then the original Oba of Bini at that time Ezechima left is Igbo. So Ndigbo should be claiming the throne of Bini not them claiming Onitsha.

You get it?

Pure lies, adulterated truth, twisted logic are the only tools in Igbos arsenal.

NoIgboSoundTueh:

Now you know why Bini people try as much as possible to avoid that story.

You Yorubas cunningly pushed them to it in the mid 1900, they carried it until late 21st century when they understood the implications. Now they are avoiding it. They even avoided Ikwerre that came to claim kinship with them few years ago but as usual, an Afonja doesn't care until those that fall for his trick are totally ruined.

You were the one that brought Onitsha being of Bini origin to this thread but when I told you the implications of the story you started speaking in tongues.

Next time before you start conspiracies think back and forth. Bini Monarchy has learnt a bitter lesson not to believe Afonjas. They are lucky that we Ndigbo are not the conspiracy type and we have no interest in claiming their throne.

Arysexy:
Only Onitsha. No other place.

Aba came closer but no good road

Which place for Aba?

This picture too can only be Owerri or Onisha abi?

What are you bragging about here self? Look at the tiny road, very poor town planning.
Where are the drive ways? I guess residents park their cars by the main road abi?
And you guys are bragging about this nonsense

This is a glorified ghetto as far as I am concerned

tiny windows like ant gate

Another 4 paragraphs of lies like everything else you ever said on this forum
Afonjas are the one that made obi of Onitsha admit he's sitting on binis throne as a Bini man.
I'm only engaging you cos I have time on my hand not because I think you'll say something sensible

Igala colonised Igbos and brainwashed them because Igbos were their slaves.
Take Nri and the slaves comply until date..

IGALA COLONISED IGBOS AND BRAINWASHED THEM.

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.
BUT IGBO SLAVES WONT ALLOW FREEBORN REST...Na Wah for slaves o


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.
