Yet Igala language is closer to Yoruba while Igbo language sounds like that of aliens. You would have been claiming Mali if it was close to you. Igala need to leave with their oil.

Nonsense talk... Ojomah (don't know if I got that right is same as chukwuma.
Lots of I gala words have igbo origin...
I know because I have many igala people here as my friends.

Nigeria shot itself in the foot by attempting to destroy itself through marginalizing Igbos.

Until Nigeria redresses this and tenders unreserved apology for the way it treated a constituent part of itself, it will continue to wallow in confusion and self inflicted underdevelopment.

Your unborn generation after you have long perished will not have an apology talkless of you.

Shameless oil chaser, Igala is closer to Yoruba. It looks like Yoruba Ojomoh/Ojomo, but how is Ojomah same as Chukwuma?

Pure lie...I have this igala in my hostel in my old school days....i call him yoruba based on kogi issues....but he always get angry when I call him yoruba.....boy......he said plainly that he is igbo...which we always tell him that he is a pure liar.

Now...is left for this ethnicity to decide where they belong instead of attaching them by language which sounds similar or not.

Igbo bu igbo. Ka ooo umunne m. Proudly nkporo okwe. Proudly igbo

You have to be the dumbest to say it's pure lie that Igala sounds Yoruba. You Igbos are known to be liars and this case is no different. As always, you are the one lying about an Igala in your hostel and then projecting it forward. You would have said you have Portuguese and Germans in your hostel too, it's just too easy for you to lie.

You don't believe in the minorities in Nigeria making decision for themselves as evident in your previous post, you want to drag these people with you against their will but you will fail.

Igala are an ethnic group of Nigeria situated east of the river Niger and Benue confluence and astride the Niger in Lokoja. Their religious practice is broadly Christianity and Islam, with, of course, some sketches of African religion, all of which do not in any way affect their interpersonal relationship as it is common to see in a family in Igalaland where either the Father is a Muslim and Mother a Christian or Parents are Muslims and Children are Christians or vice-versa, yet all relate amicably well in all ramifications.
The Igala population is estimated at about 4million and overflow to outside their home base to regions like Anambra, Delta, Edo and Enugu States, with strong traditional base, and now in ABIA State of Nigeria as partners for progress. The Igala language is part of the Eastern Kwa sub group or the West Benue-Congo subgroup of the Niger-Congo language family where the Igbo also belong, depending on the school of thought of the observer. The traditional Igala society is largely agrarian, although fishing is also a mainstay of the people especially the Igalas of the riverine Idah area. The Igala are identified by the old oral tradition of Western Igbo as descendants of Igbo migrants who migrated westward during the expansion of the proto-Igbo peoples at the beginning of the 1st millennium.

The central geographical location of the Igala people has exposed them to a wide variety of linguistic as well as cultural influences from other ethnic groups in the country. Notable among these are the Bini, the Igbo, the Hausa, their closest sisters-Idoma and the Yoruba ethnic groups. They are ruled by a father figure called the Attah. The word Attah means 'Father' and the full title of the ruler is 'Attah Igala', meaning, the Father of Igala. Among the most revered Attahs of the Igala kingdom are Attah Ayegba Oma Idoko and Atta Ameh Oboni.

According to oral tradition, Attah Ayegba Oma Idoko offered his most beloved daughter, Inikpi to ensure that the Igalas win a war of liberation from the Jukuns' dominance while Attah Ameh Oboni was known to be very brave and resolute and revered for his stiff resistance of the British and his struggles to uphold some ancient traditions of the Igalas. When he got wind of a plan to depose and exile him by the British, he committed suicide by hanging himself to forestall the plan; for this and other numerous exploits recorded in his time, he is regarded by most Igalas as the last real traditional Attah Igala. The present Atta is His Royal Highness, Atta Aliyu Ocheja Obaje, a well read, intelligent and well respected Father. The Igala word for King is Onu, one of which has gathered us here today to honour some deserving people, the Onu Igala Abia state, his highness, Alhaji Usman Mohammed.

To divorce the Igala influence from the modern Igbo cultural evolution would be a travesty of history. The evidence of the cross cultural mix appears to be genuine. According to several sources, Igbo people evolved over a long period of 4000 BC to 500 AD in Igbo land through waves of migrations. Oral accounts stated that her northern neighbours migrated into her heartland in search of fertile land and rich marine life. The majority of which were the Igalas. The Igalas settled amongst the locals east of the Niger, altering the historiography of many towns in today's Anambra state and parts of the present Oshimmili Local Government in Delta state.

For instance in Anambra state, there are traces of Igala history in some communities of the Local Government councils of the state such as - Ayamelum, Ihiala, Oyi, Awka North/South, Aniocha, Dunukofia, Onitsha North/South, Ogbaru, Anambra East/West and Njikoka. The migration did not only affect the area known today as Anambra state, a sizeable portion of Enugu state's communities have Igala ancestry as well. Thus, it would be right to call it a reverse migration, occurring about eight hundred years after which Eri was reported to have founded the modern Igbo nation with its set of unique religious doctrine. It was also a period one of his sons, Onoja, was said to have departed northwards and founded the Igala land.

Eri's children were listed as Nri-Ifikuanim Menri, Agulu, ONOJA, Ogbodudu, Onogu and his only daughter, Iguedo. Together and respectively, his off-springs were instrumental to founding the towns of Aguleri, Igbariam, Ogbunike, Nando, Nri, Enugu-Ukwu, Nteje, Enugu-Agidi, and so many other settlements in the East and West of the Niger. From the foregoing and other numerous historical facts, it is indeed difficult to draw a line between the Igbo and Igala history.

First of all, you can't brief me because I knew about the Anambra's real natives to be Igala despite you Igbos effort to hide it at first. And the very Igala in question are the ones in Kogi, not the ones in Anambra who almost have no choice.

You Igbos are known to force minorities against their will, in the past, you recused the eastern minorities to carve their region the way we did in the West.

And then the first post I quoted on the thread talked about how some areas "are Igbos for the taking."

I'm the one who said people should decide where to go, not you and you know you don't believe in allowing people to make that choice, at least your first post I quoted didn't sound like one.

Anyway is left for the Igala to decide but many I have met....are willing to be called igbos...
The minorities in anambra has their voice and they are part and parcel of every activities in anambra....they are happy being called anambrarians and igbos are large......let me quickly remind u that those Igala tribe in anambra speaks igbo fluently.......

Leave them they all know where they belong...

Igbos are known to be fair to all which is seen in the in the old ways our fathers practiced a democracy that suprises the whiteman.

amaniro:
I was reading history of many tribes and origin. I found out Igalas originated from Igbo. Eri the father and founder of Igbo gave birth to 5 sons. One of the son meneri got married to oboli begot Onoja the founder and father of igala. Do your research!

Keep deciving yourself with your fake research Onoja son of Meneri the founder of igala where did you get that from? Eri the founder of Igbo are you not from jew or Aro anymore. Why can't you guys think like other Nigerians let try and figure a better way we can coexist and live in peace instead of coming up with such divisive thread like this. Among all the over 300 tribes in Nigeria which is having better living conditions other than our corrupt leaders and elites that cut across all the tribes.
Is Igala culture similar to yours other than those at the boundary, the way they dress .Do they think or do things like you people, what about the Yorubas that has lit is similarities with Igala what will they say.

The Igala in Anambra have no choice since they are outnumbered. You are not know to be fair to anybody in the past and future always take from the past, as for the Igala in Kogi, you will never have them.

We don't need them.....but allow them to decide where they want to be...that's all....

I have always argued no matter how bad it is it would be more preferable if benue, plateau, nassarawa and Co plus SE and SS are generally referred to as southern nigeria.......while SW and rest north are generally referred to as northern nigeria....we would have made a head way....

Attaching SW that was once referred to as western. Nigeria as southern nigeria is a grave mistake that all hands must be on deck to correct such dangerous anomaly.

Don't get deceived Igala is a central tribe that shares relationship with lots of tribes not just igbo . It shares with Idoma, Ebira,bassa, nupe,jukun, bini, Yoruba, hausa,Arago etc Depending on what part of igalaland north , South, east, west. In igbo case it's in the South and the relationship stops there.

What head way will be made with putting middle belts with and all southern Nigerian. Is that not a complex society you are trying to create. Why can't you put SE also as a separate country just like SW and core north have a separate country.
Made head way with all the cases of making money at all cost mentality, we go out of the country you get suspected with the drug and getting rich quick mentality of people from your side. That won't work. Get your Biafra yourself or join us as one Nigeria

Why attributing Igala origin to a source that majority of Igala don't even know anything about. Nobody is meddle in anything , I don't know Julius malema but Just responded to his claims.

are you igala?. It is an oral history which nri kingdom gave and it is left for the igala to tell us if itz fallacy or not. But if they ave not said anything about it. Itz left for dem. U said that they where influenced by different ethnic groups. Yes it is but that doesn't mean they don't ave an origin...it is left for them

Igala origin is kwararafa from oral history, why not also follow Igala's oral history.

This is informative

that's what u read. The one I read didn't say kwararafa. It made mention of onoja been born of an igbo woman. That was what I read online. So it depend on them to believe. Example bini believes that oduduwa was a bini prince while the Yorubas believes that its a lie that reverse is the case. Some believes while some don't. That is what we ave found ourselves in this country where history is twisted for political gains
