I am from Uzo-uwani in Enugu(Nsukka area). My parents told me that when they where kids, some old people answered names like Ajuma, Achonu etc. But presently you would hardly hear such names. The simple truth is that those area are border communities and their is always a kind of interraction between those various tribes. If records where kept, probably people would be able to trace their origin. I am Igbo and one thing that i know about my tribe is that they don't feel intimidated by other tribes so they hardly discriminate, they even easily find friends from other tribes compare to their own.

during my nysc in anambra @ ogbaru L.G.A, close to onitsha,
i came across igala pple there by d river niger...

but never worry, we ll set up commitee to look in2 dat

Radoillo:
When these people leave their communities and move inland to the urban areas such as Enugu and Onitsha, they blend in effortlessly with the Igbo population. Because they speak Igbo and many of them bear Igbo names, it is hard to suspect that they may have a different pedigree. I was friends with one guy at UNIZIK for years. I took his Igboness for granted, based on his name and his mastery of the Igbo language. Until we attended his father's burial at Odekpe and realised they spoke a different language.

well if ur talking of 2009 its my father's death year if ur talking about noble sylvester nwagbo then am his brother unless you have hearing problems then i can understand ur plight

noblejames:
That is why people from cross River and Akwa Ibom succeeds in Igboland, they are always at home. All Akwa ibom citizens that I have met in abroad have greater understanding of who Igbos are and are always there as brothers. They see Igbos as their own unlike people from Rivers state especially the Ikweres who dislike Igbos though they speak Igbo language and answer Igbo names. The hostility from Rivers state knows no boundary sometime I wonder why? Think the people of Rivers state should learn from Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers…. The fact is that you cannot differentiate Igbos from the rest south south people. That was why Nyako called Jonathan an Igboman. And truly he an Igboman just like the way we regard anybody from north hausa.

You are correct. Akwa Ibom is the biggest supporter of Igbos in the SS, followed by Cross River. Watch this video of Professor Phillip Effiong, son of the former Vice president and second President of the Republic of Biafra, General Effiong; an Ibibio man who was a staunch supporter of Biafra and fought to the last drop. A lot people think Biafra was just an Igbo cause, Ibibio, Efik, Annang and many others all supported it; fought, bled and died just as the Igbos. Ijaws are now waking up and aligning. Jonathan aligns with the Igbos, not just for political reasons, his biological children have Igbo maternal parentage. His wife speaks fluent Igbo. As for Rivers...Ikweres can remain in denial as they want but time will come when they will regret it. As I stated before, Igbos are confident in their abilities and can succeed without the help of any tribe.

There are just damn too many idiots on this thread.
Every single person that has made an ethnic superiority comment on this thread is a real idiot!


To the OP, I am an Anambrarian, from Awka precisely.
You and your people have no apology to anyone for being Anambrarian
You should not claim not to be seeking for equality, you have every right to seek the highest recognition, even above what normal Igbos would enjoy in Anambra state. Just do not see yourself as an outsider. Let me also advise you and your people to use your status as a minority group to open doors that will never be opened for so called majority groups. You want a radio station, have you spoken to UNICEF, DFID, USAID, British Council, German DAAD, South Korean Embassy. Have you spoken to various big companies that are looking to make impact in Corporate Social Responsibility, Like MTN, Airtel, Oando, Dangote, etc. The best Igbo spirit is Self reliance, you need that to be truly Anambrarian. The truth is that all you actually need is the help of the Government in getting you a radio licence, am sure a radio station will create employment in your local community as well.

As is enshrined in Igbo culture, we respect the visitors and minorities around us, so do not hesitate to demand for a special Radio station for your community from the Governor, even if you constitute just 0.5% of us. The smaller you are the more special you are to us.
Anambra was constituted as the "Home for All" by the founding fathers, hence it is a place where every confident and capable person is welcome. it is also a geographical area, and not a blood homogeneous area, every state in Nigeria is an Economic and Geographical definition.

Further to all the Igbo Ehtnic Idiots on this thread.
Need I remind you that apart from the Igbo culture of accommodating the minorities (often cast as Visitors) that the Igala's are no poorly endowed people in any manners of form.
Kogi State is one of the most blessed with Natural resources in Nigeria, resources that should naturally flow out to the world through Onitsha.
If Our money bags are thinking any better, we should be cultivating the most cordial relationship with Kogi state, as business men who provide the Capital for extraction of these resources. And it is not Just about oil. The largest licence for iron mining in Nigeria is currently held by an Australian firm that found a huge hill or iron ore in Kogi State but is strapped of capital to start extraction. Am sure you are familiar with Italians marbles, marble is a rich resource in Kogi state.

Hence, having Igala's in our midst is a blessing for Anambra State. How we treat them will always be perceived by their relations in Kogi State, and will decide if we will be their preferred partners in progress or whether we will sit while the Chinese and the Dangote's of the world make wealth in our backyard.
We have no reason for strife with Igala's (who are Igbo relatives) or Kogi State in any guise!!!!!

the most sensible and logical post since I joined NL. thanks for lending your voice. ezigbo nwafo!

Am glad this write up is coming up, am from Odeh town in Abambra west lga,Anambra state. And I must tell you, growing up with explaining to my brothers in major towns has always been an issue. Am proud to be from that community of Anambra state. Regardless of no development in that region, we are blessed community.

A true igbo man have spoken. That an educated man's reflection. Truthful, humanistic and fair!
The humanity in you blaze forth like a million stars

Shame on you irrational Neanderthal igbos - ACM10, christopher 123, 01Karma, saintneo, tabletman1, cheruv, Kruzilano, Amadaz, new 2020. Hitler have nothing on you

Klinee:
The Igala in Anambra comprises of many towns;NZAM(headqauter and also the largest town in Anambra west, also the largest oil deposit in Anambra state), INNOMA, OWELLE,UKWALA, ODEKPE,IGBEDOR, IGBOKEYI,ODE, ALLAH and ONUGWA. We lies at the river Niger and omambala coast. Located in Anambra west L.G.A. We have 98% of oil deposit in anambra state. Predominantly farmers,fishing, we are the food basket of nation. Our language is gradually going into extintion. We speak Igala but most our young ones today speak Igbo more than our language. I dont know if they are feeling shy to speak the language, i remember meeting one of my town person at onitsha, i greeted him in Igala he answered me in Igbo ,it goes like this" ME: John kayi dee? JOHN: nnaa! Udo di,ME: kabe enale? JOHN: nnaa! Ka munwa fu madu ebaa." I think the government of Anambra state is not doing well to Igala language just as they do to Igbo language. I know that we are minority language in Anambra with about 5% of the population. It dosnt mean that we shouldnt be value. The government only recognise and promote Igbo language, where igbo language is being taught in every basic and post primary schools in the state. I remember in my primary school days in village where the teachers(IBOS) normally constrain us not to speak Igala in forecorner of school,is either we speak Igbo or English. In the government media companies; Abs 1 & 2 radio, Abs awka tv, Abs onitsha tv, purity radio, Nta awka tv, Nta onitsha tv and many other private radio and tv stations in Anambra. Out of all these media companies only one station allow Igala language that is Abs 2. And the programme takes 10mins only in a day with just two occurance in a week. We have two languages in Anambra; Igbo and Igala. The government need to help and promote our language. I think inferiority complex is affecting our young ones due to the fact that the language is not being promoted to people of Anambra. If we are conversing in our language maybe in any of the major cities in anambra, the igbos around normally refer us as foreigner in the state because many never know that we are full blooded Anambrian. Imagine commissioner of information,tourism & culture(now former) Hon. Maja Umeh saying in a live interveiw that he did not know that igala is in anambra. We have also had discrimination mostly people from anambra central&south,enugu,abia,imo claiming that we are not anambrian. I want to use this medium to appeal to government of anambra state. If it will be possible to appoint two or three igala indigene as commissioner or any appointive position. Secondly to charge the medias to employ igalas to enable them create a programme where the language will be desseminate to people.

I’ve read most of the comments here including yours. I could only but deduce that most of the commentators have little or no knowledge of the Igbo Igala historical tangle. One ancient Igbo adage says that “Egbusigodu Igbo nine, Igbo afodukwa n’Igala” Meaning even if all the Igbos were wiped out, Igbo will still remain in Igala”

Therefore, when I read your comment I laughed because I view you as someone having a very faint knowledge of the Igala/igbo history as it relates to the Omanbala region. This is because it is almost impossible to draw a line of distinction in a Anambra and Enugu states on where Igala or Igbo blood line begins and ends. Parts of the western Igbo territories of Anioma to half of the total local governments in Anamabra and Enugu states are of Igbo and Igala descent. Onitsha, Atani, Dunukofia, Aguleri, Nteje, Nri, Igbariam and most parts of Ogbaru have traces of Igala. The village of Umubele in Awka town also etc.

In Enugu, the Nike people, Enugu Ezike and parts of the state trace their origin partially or wholly to Igala. Most importantly, these communities always assert their Igala links when it matters. Igala and Igbo have a very long history of almost ancestry but which was disencouraged when Islam creeped into Igalaland and when Aliyu Obaje converted to Islam and became their king. He died two years ago but fortunately for them he was replaced with a Christian monarch Michael Ameh Oboni who is now trying very hard to rekindle the lost relationship with Ndigbo.
Therefore, If we have to descend to surgical identification of marginalization, the OP should then shut his mouth up because people of Igala blood line are well represented in Anamabra state.
Even now, the Secretary to Anamabra government, Mr, Oseloka OBAZE from Ogbaru is of Igala blood line. Former Aviation minister Stella Adaeze ODUAH is of Igala blood line. We can as well say that the current governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano is partially Igala because his town of Aguleri is partially of Igala origin. The village of Odeke in Aguleri has its replica in Ibaji Igala and today they speak Igala. So Mr; OP where do you end this line that you have ignorantly started to draw. My town in Anambra has no Igala connection. So, who is marginalizing who now?

I'm yet to ascertain the veracity of your claims that Igala language is not aired sufficiently, if that is true it is condemnable. But however, your encounter with the said Igala man at onitsha and your comments about him, has equally put you at the same pedestal with those you are accusing. You should have had no qualms with a fellow state citizen who expressed himself in the language he's comfortable with. Please, bury this petty bullshit!

tabletman1:
This is what I told the Op, But johnbee1 choose to misinterpret me,

Johnbee1 the idiot, Ansg cannot promote the igala Language without the help of those Igala communities at Anambra. They have to organize themselves and meet with Abs and other radio and Tv station, they should create a programme that will be display atleast 2hours daily just to create awareness. They have a fight to do but it seems they are just comfortable with the present situation.

Stop imposing Igbo as a medium of communication in an Igala community at the detriment of the local tongue

cheruv:
talking arrant nonsense!!
your comment is what we can expect from an Igbo hater..
why don't you find yourself a better job than poking your nose in affairs concerning the great Igbo nation??
obsession with anything Igbo/Biafra kills!!!

Kruzilano:
is it d work of th anambra state gov to hlp keep ur language? First, wat are u guys doing in anambra state? Kano is a northern state with igbos occupying the largest LGA, but the media over dia do not even recognise our language(igbo). U are questioning someone in his home why isn't he recognising ur lang. I laff u in igaala

They are in Anambra because that is where the Nigerian govt. define the land to fall within. You can take your case to the FG if you are aggrieved and BTW, they are not you tenants; They are indigenes of the land. You on the other hand are not an indigene of Kano State (even a dim.wit will understand that)

Stop imposing Igbo as a medium of communication in an Igala community at the detriment of the local tongue

RealAlfranco:
Wait abeg, is it the same Igala Language dat is in Kogi state or another Igala?? Cos I don't understand this! Someone please tell me,I need help!

its the same ..its just that its a thye Ebu dialect people around that area speak.... there is no language in this world that does not have a dialect

Amadaz:
then he should pack his bags and leave to a political geography called igalla

Onyi oshi! they should leave the crude-oil rich ancestral land for you right? you are an illiterate.

then igbo should pack his bags and leave to a political geography called Nigeria

I love dis part,ure Ibo n most essp we re Nigerian, I understand ure more concern about being in d main stream,@ 5% like u said u pple can stil set up a radio station dier dat wilte pple n speak ur language,Orient is @ur back yard even b4 dat start driling u guys wud ve Told dem to extablish a radio station 4u pple,everytin al boils down to som corupt pple in ur place, Am Igbo n ure Igbo n we re 100% Nigerian,dats wat matas most. Cheers

NO! They are IGALA.
How do you mean they can still set up their own radio station by themselves, the one broadcasting in Igbo was is set up by the igbo community?
Since their land account for >60% of the crude oil deposit in the state, Maybe they should enjoy the resources alone too!

Brilliant.
@ bolded: those men simply took a decision on their identity crisis; they became mainstream Igbo. Today, names like Obetta, Asogwa, Attah and Attama, while being originally Igala names, are so widespread in the Nsukka area that they're considered Igbo names.

christopher123:
You are an ingrate

You should be contented Ob your tenancy in anambra and just assimilate to the mainstream culture

To you realise that Igbo is in Benue and they ate fighting yo go back to their brothers in Enugu


You have two options

Yi assimilate
Or cross the river back to igalla


But don't worry Igbo and igalla have historic relationship

That's too hash men! Don't you think is a tin of beauty to have a multi-cultural society,there's beauty in diversity u know..the USA,is wt it has bcome today due largely in its open arms to foreigners.anambra has always been a melting points and that is a unique heritage.

Dumb! He is not on your land. So he's not your tenant. He doesn't have to migrate anywhere cos he's already in Igalla (the land is Igalas', not yours).
You must recognise that and stand up for their right.

What about the 3rd option...KILL'EM ALL!

Many Igbos love to deny this mixed bloodline with the Igala for some reason. They feel it taints their Igboness, which is sad and shortsighted. The fact however is that there are several Igbos who have lost track of their Igala parentage.

Look
Listen
Learn
Of course, if you're humble like me you'll do all 3.

Irrational neatherthal fo.ol, Stop imposing Igbo as a medium of communication in an Igala community at the detriment of the local tongue

@ the bolded, are you sure you know what you are talking about? The areas you are talking about have always been Igbo culturally dominated areas with Igala co-habitation right from human history. They've been so before anything Nigeria was formed, they've been Igbo dominated even during the civil war. All the chiefs of the towns have been Igbo since human recollection. Respect should however be accorded to the minority even as the presence of the majority should equally be recognized. I know the chief of Nzam personally, a nice human being and very good friend of my dad. HRH Igwe James Chukwuemeka Okolo is a man that loves his community as a whole, Igala or Igbo notwithstanding.

A retarde'd igala man is governor of kogi state, he will gladly welcome his brothers with open arms and a double plus for his cos of the crude oil --- and trust the greedy Igbo's not to allow y'all go cos of that same crude oil.


Mwtcheeeeeeeew!

More so, Anambra's are fake Igbos hehehehe, breeze don blow, fowl yansh don open.

Anambra's should respect their igala ancestry and admit it and respect the very few Igalas who maintained their language.

The first page of this thread, shows the similarity in the Igala and Anambra Igbo language.

Anambra's, seek the truth!!
