Tell that You've failed already
You are speechless now abi

Recruit who ? I am vast in history before I came across this which have been part of my history and people

Your bone brain is all about igala taking the lead on the Igbo nation
Where will that happen if not you are an inferior person with a great degree of complex

The Igbo nation is too strong to be taken on by igala ok
Igalas and igbos co exist way back I have igalas relation with Igbo mum and also I have seen Igbo dad marrying igalas so what the F ...is ur problem Mr man why do you hate other tribes too much

Shame on you too.

No igbo man has Igala ancestry.

Only yorubas has Igala ancestry that's why you see themin kogi near Igala.

Igala has been known to always fight for conquest .
Mumu when they are around bother Igbo and we know them by their name they bear and their chiefs also from nsukka confessed ode like you instead of you to give up on this but you will rather support your race coming from Israel and the Jewish man will look like you like is this black chimp alright

Other igbos have some town who have igala ancestry simple Nzam , Ette , and part of Nsukka has influence of igala before present day

Listen am not saying everyone in northern igbo have igala ancestry but some of them and they know their origin just as some onitsha people will say their origin is from Benin

Hello @Revolva

This topic should be on the front page. More people need to know about
Igala history as it relates to the surrounding ethnic groups that border
Igalaland as well. Since 1991 I have been curious about who Igalas
are after reading a magazine called "Roots" where an attempt was made by
the journalist to say that "Igalas are Ibos[sic]" and that it was an Igala man that then
moved to Ile-Ife and all that ill-digested stuff. But the writer of the article who
was Ibo kept on showing similarities between Igala words and Yoruba words
but could NOT show many central Ibo words that were similar to Yoruba words.
I still have the magazine though. I'm also aware that it was the Igalas who introduced
the "red chieftaincy caps" via Nsukka. This culture of wearing red caps was finally
copied and spread to areas in Iboland that did not even have direct contact
with the Igalas who mainly influenced Northern Ibo areas.


First off, an elderly Ebira man actually posted on FaceBook in 2015 that Igalas
evolved from the fusion of"Ebira Koto" and "Akpoto Yoruba."

Second in 2017, the current Attah of Igala said Igala evolved from
a movement of some people from Wukari which is in Taraba State
today who then fused with a group of Yoruba, Edo and to some
extent some Ibo.

He also said Ifa is consulted before a new Attah of Igala is crowned.
==> https://punchng.com/im-first-attah-in-igala-history-with-one-wife-ameh-oboni/
"I’m first Attah in Igala history with one wife –Ameh Oboni"


I was surprised while doing more research on Igalas in 2017 that the
part where the Attah of Igala mentioned the Yoruba and Edo bloodlines
in Igala nation was dubiously edited/removed from an official Facebook
page used by Igalas. The Punch article above on the Attah of Igala's interview
was re-posted on that official Facebook page used by Igalas and the person
who did it only left the Jukun influence and I think the military conquest
and cultutral influence the Igala Kingdom had on the Ibo area[Northern Ibo
of Anambra, Enugu axis, etc].

==> https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/500-years-of-igalas-in-enugu.html#:~:text=The%20Igala%20people%20who%20in,Government%20Areas%20of%20Enugu%20State.
"500 years of Igalas in Enugu"


I wonder why anybody would try to hide the truth of what the Attah
said about the Yoruba and Edo influences and bloodlines!
Many Igalas who were on that FB page did NOT even realise that the
article had been edited! It would have been interesting to know what they
all had to say about the Yoruba and Edo connection instead of only talking
about the Jukun connection!

An Attah [Idoko]also invited some people or craftsmen from then North
or Niger State axis who settled in Igalaland and have become Igalanised.



It is not strange that Igala language is 65% to 70% Yoruboid
with influences from Idoma and some other surrounding
linguistic influences. The Ifa corpus is also of Yoruba origin so
there is a Yoruba connection in Igala. Ifa is also practiced among
the Edos[Bini and Esan]. The Esans as we know are of Bini origin but
left Bini to Esanland because of the upheavals in Bini under a great
Oba of Benin.



Even Nri which was influenced by Igalas also has "Afa" oracle
which is consulted before any Eze Nri is coronated! Nris had no
kingship system until the arrival of the Igalas. So Nri could NOT
have been the so-called oldest kingdom in Nigeria when it was Igalas
that introduced the kingship system to them. It was even an Umueri
group that revealed this information about the Igala influence
on the Nri Kingship system in the Vanguard newspaper when there
was a controversy over whether it is Umueri or Aguleri or Nri that
is the cradle of Ibos! The article is still online.


"Egungun" in Yoruba and "Egwugwu" in Igala which refers to the
Egungun masquerade [Egungun means "bone" in Yoruba and
metaphorically means that the dead body/spirit has risen]. Egwugwu is
known and used among the Igala-associated communities of Enugu [Nsukka etc],
Anambra [ Onitsha, Aguleri and co], and Delta North[Illah, Ebu, Okpanam, Asaba]
are some of the words with direct similary with Yorubaland. Ifa as used
or consulted before an Attah is coronated by the King Makers is even
a give away.


Some of the Yoruboid words that some people are saying are used in Ibo
where actually introduced by the Igalas whose bloodlines also run in Anambra,
Enugu and Delta axis such as in Illah where Desmond Olusola Elliot's mother
comes from. Infact a lot of the communities in Delta North have Igala bloodlines
especially in the Oshimili axis. As I said, since 1991 I have been curious about who Igalas
are and they are a very unique people with a great culture.


Eri who was an Igala prince and the son of an Igala King[Achado] but I was
surprised when during the visit of some African-Americans who took DNA
tests linking them to Nigeria and they were taken to Anambra State and
the top Ohaneze leader [Chief Nwodo] was refering to Eri's Origin as being
Jewish from Israel. This is insulting to the intelligence of everyone and it seems some
people want to wipe off Igala history in the South East. DNA tests done by
Ibos especially in the UK the U.S. on AncestryDNA, 23andMe, etc show
CLEARLY that all the Ibos do NOT have ANY Jewish bloodlines or DNA
markers as seen in all the videos online.


Even all the Yorubas who tested with these services do NOT have Hebrew
or Arabian bloodlines as some misinformed people are saying but are
indigenous to mainly West Africa just like the Ibos. No caucasian mixing...
except with reference to those who recently married white women and Asians.

Ambassador Abdullahi Ayegba The founder and the foundation of United Igala Kingdom on Feburary 15th 2020 Hosted the Igala National Congress, This is the first historical gathering of all igalas in kogi state and those outside kogi state especially those that can be found in the Niger river zone down to those in 28 states in Nigeria who traced their ancestry to Idah Kingdom and discovered they have igala ancestry and they are truly the descendants of Igala people who left Idah for about 500 to 1000 years ago.

These are Communities where Igalas are spoken out side Kogi today.

Ebu - Osimili North LGA of Delta state

Inyele /Ifeku island/Ilushi in Esan south east LGA Edo state

Nzam in Anambra West LGA in Anambra state

Ette - igbo Eze North LGA in Enugu state

Elders came from various states across Nigeria to Idah Kogi state the head quarters of Igala Kingdom to attend and reunite after many centuries of separation. This is the result of his five years Discovery works project to Reconnect the Indigenous Igala across Nigeria and beyond. And do you know what? They are the new Igala.

Among the people present at the ceremony was the elder like The Obi Agu (Onu Idu) from Illah, Delta state, Odaje Asi from Aika Ezeolu, Delta state and Igwe from Nsukka, Enugu state , The people of Aika , Igwe of Nsukka, One of the Edo (Ifeku island /Inyele) representatives, and Ossissa and people from Amai and Ogbuenyi Paul Onelum of Illah, Delta state representative at the Igala National Congress 2020,

There was a lecture from the Paramount ruler of the Igala Kingdom His Royal Majesty Agabaidu Ameh Oboni II and it was enlighten and he spoke about the igala kingdom and how igala conquered the Benin empire and many other historical fact of how the igalas outside kogi left Idah as at then called which is in the present day kogi state to where they settled and found new shelter and he spoke of how powerful the Igalas are also how he will be able to show concern of Igala speaking people outside the shores of Kogi state and make every Igalans weather from Kogi or outside Kogi proud to be called Igala and it was indeed an interesting lectures, It was hosted by the Attah Igala HRM Agabaidu Ameh Obo .Igala all over the nation are reunited after over 500 to 1000 years of separation.

bigfrancis21:
He didn't say anything different from what you said. Ebu isn't Igala land. Igalas were refugees or economic migrants, in today's parlance, to Ebu land as they were fond of migrating down south into the Igbo-speaking areas for economic reasons or fleeing persecution. They arrived and met Igbo speakers there, thus the existence of both languages. It is wrong to say that all Ebus are of Igala origin. Some of them are, not all. Those who feel they are of Igala origin should identify with Idah.

My observations: the lady in the video looks just like any Igbo lady or someone with heavy Igbo mix. Most 'core' Igala ladies from Kogi (not the Ibajis) don't look like her. Also, 'Ugo' in the title is the Igbo word for 'eagle'.
Bro Ebus are of Igala origin i know many of them what are you saying....self..they know where theyare truly from..looks dont matter..even in present day Kogi and benue some igalas and idomas have igbo looks..haba

Ebu may be in delta state today yes its not part of igala land.....but its Igala family...infact its just along the border self not tooo far from edo border illushi who are also from idah to kogi also on the same linear terrain..

You cant tell me about Ebus i know them reach back of my hand.....Ok.. all Ebus are 100 percent from idah and they speak Igalas till today the Igbos language have affected many of them why because they are very small community surrounded by igbos speaking people
