Opinion: Kogi State Is Not Supposed To Be Part Of The North by MisterGrace: 9:34am On Dec 09, 2016 |
It hurts so bad that we are always put in the same category with the north. Especially the Igalas, Ebiras, Okuns and some Yorubas. We the Igalas are mixed with the Igbos, Binis, Idomas, Urhobos and other southern tribes and ethnic groups along the boundaries. We are part of the palm belt in Nigeria. In fact, we have nothing to with the north geographically. - Religious fanatism. - The intolerance of the northern muslims. - Infringement on the rights of others who are not muslims like the killing of that Redeem church preacher. Kidnapping and forceful marriage by emirs in Katsina, Ese in Bayelsa etc. The infringement on the rights to freedom of the hausa actress who is now in the US. The burning and destruction of churches by those irate brainwashed killers. How can a state that shares boundary with Edo, Delta, Enugu, Anambra and others be categorised as a northern state? For what? They need to re-visit the mapping thing once again and correct some things. Enough! We are not part of the north. 21 Likes |

Instead of the OP tp talk about how Kogi State is going to be developed he's busy getting involved in petty politics with his divide and rule tactics. Shame on you for hating on the North 9 Likes |

Maybe only the Igalas but Ebiras are Wannabe ab0kis and so Kogi must remain in the north unless a separate state for Igalas is established. 9 Likes 1 Share |

MisterGrace: What about Benue state? At least Kogi has something in common with the North. Which is Islam. Benue state is 95% christian and they have absolutely nothing in common with hausa-fulanis. We are actually middlebelters (central Nigerians) but the british colonialists connived with hausa-fulani emirs to forcefully lump us all as AREWA, in order to make the Hausa dominated north look so big and intimidating to yorubas and Igbos. 13 Likes |

FSBoperator: Exactly, because of islam and religious brainwashing, ebiras have become aboki wannabes. They want to be hausa by all means, forgetting that no matter how big a cat is it can never be a lion. The average igala man sees a hausa man as a foreigner but sees yorubas and igbos as his neighbours, except for the islamized igalas who want to be more islamic than the arabs. 18 Likes |

Kogi has many ethnic groups: The Igala is the largest ethnic group also extending to northern part of Edo and Anambra state. They speak a variant of language closely related and similar to Yoruba with about 50% of the same or closely similar words used. The Igala are both Christians and Muslims. Followed by the Ebira who are in variant of tribes, this is one ethnic group that is within its own rank diverse and occupy spaces up to FCT , Niger and Nasarawa.Considering the geographical spread of the group, those to the west of the Niger River are divided between pro west(a lot of them live and bear Yoruba names) and the pro north.Elsewhere, they are pro north. The Yoruba tribes of Okun, Oworoh , Yagba are the third largest ethnic group, they are largely pro west and have been agitating for reunion with their kinsmen in southwest. I feel Kogi is an enigma and largely torn between these three major groups. I feel the Yoruba areas be carved out and either merged with Yoruba state elsewhere maybe with Yoruba areas of Kwara or Ondo or Ekiti state. I've always opined a regional arrangement as the solution to the political malaise of the current politics imbroglio facing the country. Kogi can become a wealthy state with petroleum deposits shared with Anambra, humongous factories and what can make a functional state. But I keep wondering why so much poverty! 7 Likes |

MisterGrace: Leave him alone, we know their types. People of low self esteem who have allowed the hausa-fulanis deceive them with fake islamic brotherliness. They are ready to sell their people just to make hausas accept them because of islam. They should go to the north during religious crisis and see that their likes are the category of people the hausas first attack calling them fake muslims. 14 Likes 1 Share |

We know the ethnic groups that were defeated in the past and the one that resisted invaders through sheer will and determination and I'm proud to say the ethnic group I belonged to were never conquered people. And we know what's right for us and what's not right for us and sensible Kogites know this as well. 1 Like |

Op must be high on that stuff ipod youths take! Am igala from Idah and am from the north central and am proud to say it! "Islamized Igala" u must be daft for using that word, the igalas are predominantly Muslims, many of the igala Christians are convert. Go and get ur facts right! And don't listen to propaganda from those guys that are genetically blessed with flat heads! 14 Likes 2 Shares |
