Asaba is not Igboland, this is for those expansionist that want to grab lands. The history of Delta North will not be changed in 2025 to please anyone.

Meaning of this?? I thought 💭🤔 igala is from Kogi State

Ofemannnu:
I think fulani too dropped most of their culture to embrace Hausa even though they dominate the Hausas.
Igboland was colonised by the small Igala ethnic group.Igala own Anambra even though Igbos have overwhelmed them with population.
Now to my own view of what the Asagba said,there is just a very minor difference between Igbos and Asaba people,I term them as Igbos.My opinion though.

Ezeama400:
He said the mother of asaba is from Nteje, Nteje located in Anambra State Oyi local government, While the father of Asaba is from igala, Igala located in Nzam Anambra West local government..go

Did you even listen to what you posted op ?

Tribalism has blinded you to the extent of that you are beginning to suffer from dyslexia ..

Let’s even assume and buy the the idea op is indirectly to spread, I never knew Igbos are so powerful to the extent of people dropping their original names, culture and other ways of life to embrace Igbo identity


Waoooo!!!

DomPerignon:
But Anambra is originally Igala clay just as Nnsuka is Igala land and most of Abia is originally Effik.

Lagos is not yoruba land, it was founded by benin. this is for those expansionist that want to claim Lagos by all means.

A man impregnated a woman when he came down from Igala to trade, they say he was a prince but what prince leaves his kingdom to go sell fish or whatever else. But ok so he impregnated her meaning he met an Igbo girl, meaning people resided there and since the Igbo girl was not a slave she was most likely in the midst of other Igbo people,.

Now the boy was raised in in Nteje and only found out he was not full Igbo because he could not get a share of land. He wanted to go back to where he was born and enlisted the help of an Igbo medicine man to for the journey. HE LEFT WITH SOME FOLLOWERS OF HIS FROM NTEJE since that was where he was basically raised. Meaning they were Igbo's

Together they went back to the location which they named Ahaba because the medicine pot fell and what he exclaimed contained the word AHABA. now when he went back there (notice he went back there not that he founded there) he married 2 women who were not Igala again meaning the place was already inhabited by Igbo's or since he was 1 person who went with followers who were Igbo's from where he was raised in Nteje 99 percent of the party were Igbo's so how then does the town not be Igbo.

The Asagba is a political tool and a political opportunist. A man who is not honest or well versed in history.

The town is Igbo and just because one half Igbo half Igala man came back and they decided to name the town Ahaba from what it was formally called(the place beyond the river) does not make it not an Igbo settlement or town.

Asaba is not an igbo but you speak igbo language and not igala yoroid dialects like the southern Delta of itsekiries, baba check and balance your historical references,yes they may have being some Early migrants from the upper Niger but language is the main connect to ancestral roots

Coldspice:
The current CNS is from Enugu state. They speak Igala in his part.
Obiano is from the Igala speaking part of Anambra.

Nzam, Inoma all speak Igala, and identify as Igala. Most of the areas in Anambra West speak Igala.

As you sabi history of Asaba pass their own traditional ruler, na the prince dey go about impregnating cheap Igbo girls, abi?

You go spin stories taya.

Olukummi are yoruba speaking in delta does not make the place where they settled yoruba. there will always be people who settle in places from where they did not come.

Coldspice:
Just like those settlers in Edo called Igbanke people.

In Ahaba, Nnebisi, who was happy that he had finally found his home town started intermingling with the household of earlier settlers like Eze Anyanwu, Ugboma, Odikpe and Obodo Achala. It is to be noted, however, that before then the area that later became known as Ahaba was known as “the town beyond the big river” with no particular name attached to it.

It was the arrival, from Nteje, of Nnebisi, his magical pronouncement of “Ahabam” and his marriage to two wives from the households of the earlier settlers that gave rise to the name “Ahaba” and later Asaba.

AustineE1:
I am from Asaba and I am a complete Igbo man to the core. I will never forget the Asaba massacre during the civil war,where hundreds of our brothers and relatives were massacred by deception by the invading Nigerian army,simply because we are Igbos. May the soul of my igbo brothers massacred on that day(known as the Asaba massacre)by the 2nd division of the Nigerian Army,led by col Murtala Mohammed,Taiwo Ibrahim and Ibrahim Haruna,rest in perfect peace Amen!it was one of the bloodiest event of the unfortunate civil war,my heart still bleeds.
You will forever be rembered,the blood of saints waters the trees of freedom.
We can never deny our igboness,not then,not today and never shall we!!!!
