fergie001:you are 80% right though.... My best friend is igbo ( igbo from delta) .. he is the smartest and brainy human being of my age I have ever come across.. there is nothing in this world this guy does have the idea.. e no dey go class, e no dey do test yet he never had carry over.. But generally speaking .. yoruba fear igbo ( not dat they hate igbo )..an average yoruba would prefer to be friend with hausa to igbo ...when I was young, I associated anything igbo to FAKE..(jokes apart).. but now I don learn that every tribe has it own shortcomings.... 2 Likes |

Ikennamurphy:And for your information mr. ITK the court order has been refuted and there is nothing the Attah of Igala or anyone can do about it, even Malami the AGF declared the judgement null so Attah has no claim over Lokoja 2 Likes |

Ikennamurphy: Ikennamurphy , Mount Patti on which Lord Lugard built his residence was inhabited by Okun Yoruba when he landed there. If not for Politics Lokoja used to be the Alaafins river port. It was the Fulani Jihad that sent the Okun Yoruba fleeing into the mountains fortresses for safety since the Fulani's War horses could not climb up mountains , but the Fulani Jihad failed to Conquer the Area because the natives resisted them and the British checkmated them completely. Even today at least 85% of Okuns are Christians. If you look at Lokoja itself you will see that it is almost completely surrounded by Yoruba Settlements some of them like Agbaja are very ancient ones 4 Likes |

Ikennamurphy: Lokoja speak Yoruba very well. It was the British that brought the deposed emirs of Kano,Zaria,Katsina infact majority of the deposed Emirs were dumped in Lokoja by the British who wanted to keep an eye on them and many of their followers settled there with them after they had been deposed . But the Okun Yoruba have been residing in Lokoja more than 500 years. That is the honest truth and the Okun have many ancient sites in the Area which confirm this. 5 Likes |

AllHailBiafra:kwara is not yorubaland. Some towns in kwara state are yorubaland. Many of the igbomina towns in kwara state omu-aran, offa etc are fully yorubaland. Only ilorin was given to alimi by afonja, the oyo warrior & has some mixed fulani descendants because of this. So you should mention 'ilorin' next time, not 'kwara'. There are many towns in kwara state that have nothing to do with Yoruba people & are indigenous to nupe people & other tribes. |

Ikennamurphy: Igala homeland is on the opposite bank of river Niger Be honest with yourself how many Igala towns are in the Lokoja area? The Igbirra have lived around Ajaokuta for 300 years and they are the next geographical closest Ethnic group to Lokoja area they and the Bassa. Look at the Map of Igalaland and that of Yorubaland where Lokoja falls is very obvious. Lokoja was the Alaafins river port in the days of Old Oyo. 2 Likes

Christistruth00:What I am saying is that igala domination has made the place to have igala spoken more there, I'm not talking about the aboriginals. Well kogi state would have been a great state bc they have solid minerals but their tribal politics no follow with wicked and heartless igbiras too.. I famzy igala and okun anyway because I have stayed in those locations.. In fact I was initially posted to isanlu before I relocated after some weeks to ankpa.. I worded in Lokoja for months two and had things to do in okene too.. The okun and igalas are nice receptive people I'm not trying to criticise igbiras but they're not nice people |

Ikennamurphy: Yoruba is the most popular language in Lokoja the area dominated by Igala is on the opposite bank of River Niger. Igbirra and Yoruba have lived side by side peacefully for 300 years they even fought the Fulani in cooperating with the Yoruba. 4 Likes 1 Share |

It has it's merits and demerits. If 50% of Nigerians leave their ancestrial lands to go and settle in other parts of Nigeria, in the next 70years Tribalism would have been reduced drastically and we would have been closer to becoming a Nation. Because of the substantial numbers of Igbos living in the S/West, i know many people that are Yoruba-Igbo hybrid (Some are even my relatives). fergie001: 1 Like |

oyatz:I concur Because of the substantial numbers of Igbos living in the S/West, i know many people that are Yoruba-Igbo hybrid (Some are even my relatives).True, but it becomes a bit frightening when the number outside is threateningly more than the number inside. Especially when many don't return home or even ask about what's happening at home, perhaps until they are dead. That's where the issue crops up. |
