raskymonojendor:
And Mali is the greater loser. After France and USA moved out, half of the country has been taken over by jihadist. In the next 5 years, Mali would be the home territory of ISIL in West Africa
This is what the world led by ECOWAS, AU, UN have to prevent ASAP. Failure to do that Nigeria and the entire Sahel will be in further danger from Islamist insurgents.
Politics › Re: Ogala Is Yoruba Name Not Igala (pictures) by XAUBulls: 9:10pm On Aug 09, 2023
maxist2020:
Ogalla is an Igbo man by Western geographic demarcation. Ogalla is an igala name that is particulate with the Kogi east, however the community (that is Enugu Ezike) was formally under igala kingdom, this is the same with almost all Nsukka communities. We have such communities like UNADU OBAKA, (enedu Obaka who was a junior brother to Ajogwu the founder of Akpanya whom both of them left Idah on hunting expenditure) ENUGU EZIKE, IBAGWA (Ibe egwa heart of beans) OBUKPA (OBU KPA which means Na toto kill ) AND NSUKKA ASADU (ACHADU the wife of ATTAH the wife of ATTAH Igala) all the names I mentioned above are all igala names and they also know about it as most of the family have refused to change their igala names, they still answer names like Aba, idoko, ogbaje, Ameh, Onu, osai, Igala, Arji,Abu etc.
Even in tradition the communities I mentioned have their place in ATTAH igala palace as they are still recognised as part of igala even though they are in another state.
I believe with this the dout about his identity will be cleared.
Ask any Nsukka elder and he will tell you that their origin is from Idah the home of igala kingdom.
Insightful.

grin that baby factory culture in the south east was started by obed edom chukwuemeka azikiwe and lord lugard when they were bringing in white men and breeding them in baby factories with Igbo women so as to create a superior light skin class in which they will use to rule Nigeria like they did in India by lightening them up to create a ruling class. This why many Igbo are light skin today. Product of lord lugards baby factory. That plan to create a ruling light skin class backfired as Hausa eventually snatched power from Igbo . Lots of hidden history in naija
Ha! shocked grin Provide the SOURCE of the research please... OR is there a metaphysical info? OR is this sarcasm PURE SARCASM?

Many Ibos are NOT light skinned, though some are light. Skin complexion varies in people of African descent and from place to place and depending on genetic.

Abagworo:
Ifife is breeze in igbo,enyi is elephant,ogede is plantain,ogede oyibo is banana,ewu is goat,gini also kini is what,oji is dark,ojiji also ijiji is darkness,atu is deer.nti is ear as against eti for yoruba,onu also enu or inu is mouth.

The truth is that both languages evolved from one proto language.
Bump.

The Yoruboid words in Northern Ibo lingo here came in via the Igalas. These are PURE loan words of Yoruba ethnic origins. The Igala language is Yoruboid just like Itsekiris whose parent ethnic group is Yoruba (Ijebus, Ilajes and Ifes) with some Bini-Edo exiled migration led by Prince Ginuwa, the son of the then Oba of Benin in the 1480s.



Many of the words that you listed up there that sound similar with Yoruba are PURE Yoruba words found in the Igala language.

Igala has far MORE Yoruba words in it of nearly 50% [if the percentage had hit 50% OR more, Igala would have been classified as a major
Yoruba dialect] than Ibo language which has a few loan words from Yoruba language via the indigenous Igalas of Anambra, Enugu, Kogi, and Delta States!


THE FOLLOWING WORDS BELOW ARE PURE YORUBA WORDS IN ORIGIN

Egungun [Spirit Masquerade. Egungun means bone or spirit-like masquerade. Igalas spell it as "Egwugwu"], Iba[Fever], Afefe [Breeze], Ogede [Plantain], Ewure [Goat], Kini? [What?], Erin [Elephant in Yoruba], Oyinbo [white or European], Eti [Ear in Yoruba], Ifa [The Yoruba Ifa religion], Enu [Mouth], Igbo [Bush] Olukumi or Oluku [Friend or protector], Omi [Water], Akuko [Cock in Yoruba], Ewa [Beans, but Igalas call and spell beans as "Egwa," got from Ewa in Yoruba language, etc].


There are many indigenous Igala settlements and bloodlines in Kogi, Anambra, Enugu and Delta States such as Igbokenyi, Enugu Ezike, Nsukka, Nteje, Aguleri, Nri, Asaba, Okpanam, Illah, Onitsha and other Igala-associated communities, so I'm NOT surprised by the CLEAR inflow of Yoruba [Yoruboid words knowing full well that Yoruba bloodlines in the Kogi State area make up a major part of the ancestry of Igalas]. Yorubas and Igalas are direct ancestral relatives from a fusion of DISTINCT ethnicities in the Niger River or Kogi confluence that took place about 600 years ago with migrants from the Wukari area of Taraba.

There was NO split from one proto language at all! Yoruba and Ibo are distinct ethnicities and languages and did NOT split from one proto language.


=> https://punchng.com/im-first-attah-in-igala-history-with-one-wife-ameh-oboni/

The late Attah of Igala Ameh Michael Oboni granted an interview to Punch in 2017 in the Weblink above where he affirmed that a SIGNIFICANT people of Yoruba and Edo bloodlines fused with the migrants who came from Wukari in Taraba State [Wukari is part of Jukunland] along the confluence of the Niger and Benue in Kogi. It is very CLEAR that it is the Yoruba ancestral and linguistic component of Igala that makes up what you call Igala ethnicity today! This is why you have the Yoruba words in Igala are also in Ibo as loan words because the Igalas also interacted with the aboriginal Ibos of Anambra and Enugu States. Indeed it was the Igalas that first introduced the RED CHIEFTAINCY CAP into the Nsukka area where we also had strong Igala interactions. The red cap then spread to other Ibo areas. [The Igala Yoruboid words got absorbed into the Northern Ibo language variant as loan words that you stated up in your post]. All these happened within the last 500 years.

Aguleri people of Anambra from the last article link above are said to be Igala migrants. Aguleri only came into existence according to anUmueri source I read online about 400 years ago.

Even the man called Eri of Nri fame is an Igala. They introduced the kingship system and Ifa religion into the Nri area.
Nri had no kingship until the Igala arrival influenced it.




Indeed, another post from an Ebira elderly man that I read years back on FaceBook said he was
dissapointed that younger Igalas don't know their TRUE origins and that it was the fusion of Ebira Koto people and Yoruba [Akpoto] that gave rise to Igala people of today. The Yoruba ancestral component of Igala CANNOT be denied.

The same Reno turned around and single handedly destroyed ALL the lies that Igbos have been telling the world for the last 5 or 6 decades.

Same thing with Kanu and Ekpa. Igbos made these monsters and today, there's death and destruction all over Igboland.

Igbos should ask God to give them the native intelligence of Yoruba people. Yoruba people no send anybody. If you like praise them from now till kingdom come, they will NOT respond to you. The day you insult them, they will finish you and your entire generation.

Watcharena:
you can't compare Jamey that lost election a military leader fully supported by his people.

In the 90s NIgerian was not as corrupt as it's today that's why we could win Biafra ,back then you will see Generals leading war from the front like Russian army but today the story is different in Nigeria that's why it's taking is too long to fight Boko Haram that doesn't even have air support, bandits are having field day in sokoto.
Just to be clear, I was already an adult back in the 1990s so I can confirm that there was full corruption in the society in Nigeria induced by bad military rule then. From especially the General IBB era in the late 1980s [read the Okigbo Report of corruption in the Gulf Oil Windfall] to General Abacha stealing and stashing over $4 billion USD via the CBN into foreign secret accounts in the 1990s which is the biggest single robbery in Nigerian history by a single person and his cohorts.

Yes, despite that we still had professional soldiers and Generals who went to battle through ECOMOG in Liberia. My family members are and were in the military too and I have cousins who bravely went on missions to Liberia, Bakassi and Sierra Leone on combat duties. The military still has brave men and women as of today but were hampered by some internal sabotage from informants. I will leave it at that.

Last but not least, my references to Gambia and Yahya Jammeh is because he was a former military leader who came in via a coup, became very corrupt and then transmuted into a civilian dictatorship President who didn't want to leave power after losing an election so a Nigerian-led ECOWAS military force moved in to remove him IN 2017 from the sit-tight position for 22 years because he had violated the ECOWAS protocols. Fortunately, reason prevailed on him and Bola Tinubu's private jet was used to fly Jammeh into exile. This happened when PMB was the President of Nigeria.

There's NO humiliation here. It's all part of the dictates of life. This is exactly how back in the 1990s, the military junta that took over power in a coup in Sierra Leone was bluffing leaders of other countries that tried to broker a return to democracy until the Nigerian-led military forces invaded Sierra Leone and kicked the coup plotters out thereby restoring democracy to Sierra Leone.

Many young posters here especially the rabid Peter Obi ethnocentric supporters who are spreading hate speech and misleading information while irresponsibly calling for the military to take over power in Nigeria we're not born or were babies back in the 1990s and they have refused to read and learn from contemporary West African history.

Putting up a thousand drones on the sky of Niger and flooding the sky for just 5 minutes will be something. I imagine there will be massive vibration into their sky and their stray rains of bullets and mortars will kill a few of their people and put so much fear in their minds, and as soon as that is over, just 5 minutes after we hit their inventories and tanks and then the ground troop swoops into their tank farms and use IEDs to blow up their fuel supplies..

Let's start with that. Lets go to war for peace and respect. If we can fucck Niger and Mali up, we can keep our borders more secure by setting up Miltary bases on those locations against Boko.
Back in the 1990s, a Nigerian-led ECOWAS intervention force successfully restored democracy by removing the irresponsible military coup plotters in Sierra Leone.

Most of those typing here and spreading hate messages on this thread and others are young and we're mostly not even born when Nigeria helped to restore democracy in Sierra Leone after that military coup. It was a clinical military operation by Nigerian troops who went with lightning speed into Freetown and got the coup plotters kicked out!

The same thing happened during the time of PMB when a Nigerian-led military forces moved in to Gambia to remove Yahya Jammeh of Gambia. It was Tinubu's private jet that was coincidentally used to fly Jammeh out into exile thereby saving Jammeh's ass from being whipped.
