Lol! Still going in circles with the Ironsi dissolved the regions cheap blackmail, when it was indeed Gowon that did. Not that it matters who did. What matters is what Ndiigbo need.

If you ever think London and recently Washington don't still have firm control on their colonial estate called Nigeria, then you are not as educated as you think.

Almajiris themselves are loyal slaves to the British, they are like their care takers of the colonial estate. They derive their power directly from London and NATO.

The British left in person, but appointed loyal stooges that run the colonial estate for them. There was never an independence.

Lol,Interesting how British imposed Azikiwe as the first president of the colonial Estate. How about the coupists who killed other leaders and left theirs ,what inspired that ?

Babalegba:
This thread should be on the front page. I never knew ibos were dominated by the igala people in the years gone by.They were supreme cowards who couldn't defend their territories and probably won the Nsukka conflict by excessive breeding to outnumber the gallant igala soldiers

Interesting!

laudate:

Interesting!

Looser....lol

Chai igbos have really dealt with you and your kinds mercilessly..

We all know you are pained, that is why you are ranting.

Good question.

What documented story? Are you well at all?

Igala invaders were defeated by Nsukka people and chased back to Kogi, how hard is that for you to grasp?

To invade is nothing, to settle and establish control is the real deal. The barbarian invaders were routed. Later, trade and marriage led to exchange of cultures and languages and the influence was mutual along the borderlands

Lol. Winning is winning whichever method

There is still more to learn about that aspect of history. The Igala conquered quite a number of northern Igbo towns. Are you even aware that Asaba people descended from an Igala warrior Prince?

Igbos were never conquered by anybody. Babaric invaders like Igala were always summarily defeated. You invaded is different from you conquered

BALLOSKI:
igala does not need Ibo for anything. The highest thing igala do in Ibo land , is going to orba to trade. It's mostly ankpa people that have connections with Ibo. Ibagwa, akpanya, ete , etc, all have very close link with igala.


I don cover thatl area , so I know .

According to you, Ankpa have connection with Igbo. Ibagwa have connection with igala. Isn't it obvious that link is mutual and a product of diplomatic interaction?

BALLOSKI:



I didn't say I'm igala.

I went there, I heard market days like eke, afor , ukwo, ede, etc, something I heard in Ibo land. This goes to show the cultural linkage. The igala land I traversed last time is big enough for them not to landgrab not to even talk of someone trying to twist history just to appear to be trying to increase their sphere of influence.

This shows that igbo influence on igala is higher

pazienza:


And he quotes a Wikipedia page, that quoted an Igala man work dated 2017 as its source.

Dude, you are free to believe what you want to.

But the oral stories of those Igbo towns, doesn't match your delusional feel good story.

A lame attempt at revisionism

It is so easy to recognise those of you who failed history in school. Go siddon, abeg!

It shows you that Ibaji and Igalamela is Igbo territory which was inhabited by the escaping Igalas from Idah and Aborigine Igbos who absorbed the Igalas. Forget that Ibaji and Igalamela is in Kogi state, they LGAs are pure Igbo towns.

Its was a combined force the Tiv were at the other end repelling the invasion as well, majority of Igala muslims you see today embraced Islam voluntarily not by forced as it is the case with other areas in the middle belt. That's is why there is no single emirate council on our land.The pattern was once the caliphate captured your area they would establish an emirate council right away, can you point one of those in Igala land?. Most Igala muslims are descendants of Traders, merchants from core north who settled on our land for trading purposes and other reasons and over time they became igalanised.

Igala is grabbing population. Claiming Bassa Nga. Nupe land, Claiming Igbo lands in Ibaji and Igalamela. Rubbish. Small Igala who were fisher men claims they colonize igbos. Igala, Igbos are not your mate, look for small tribes

Abagworo:
Igala didn't colonize Igbo but we should rather say some Igbos share blood relationship with Igala. The Nri Igbos originate from Igala and occupy Northern part of Igboland in a mix with aborigines from Awka and Orlu. It is same as all Igbos outside the core Awka-Orlu area. Oguta people and most Western Igbos equally share blood relationship with Edo/Bini in a mix with the Awka-Orlu Igbos and some Igala-Igbos too. I believe it is same with most ethnic groups as nobody can claim to be pure except you lived in total isolation.

This all you could contribute ? Just about anything to pull Nri and Anambra down. You are quite shameless !!

stop saying this trash ok it makes you sound like a slowpoke even amongst your kinsmen . Ibaji is igala kingdom also igalamela like i told you in the ancient time every one form igbos side and benin side and igala side come together and inter marry n eat together befire politics devided us all

stop this biased attitude i no get time for all dese

simple truth this man have said Only Nsukka part of Igbo land igalas was able to rule for a while bear it not all part of igbo land please and again not all igbos are from the same heritage .......every igbos have their origin...........some from aboh kingdom , some from arochukwu kingdom , some fro igala kingdom and benin kingdom.........


it all but some slowpoke here is saying another thing land grabbing for where who cares about the shit hole land learn history dont mixed it with hatred brother ok use ur head to think not ur physical hand. cos your type starts violence amongst tribes and communites

I'm not sure it's the same with most ethnic groups, this must be why some folks are referring to assimilation within Yoruba.


Intermarriage is not always the same thing as assimilation, most groups living within other tribes do not practice the type of deep integration you're referring to, many would still retain the knowledge of their history and origins.

Then again, it might depend on the territory.

This is arrant nonsense and attempt by relegated storyteller to look relevant. No Kingdom, not even the Caliphate, dreamt to mess with Ndigbo. The Caliphate marauders especially on horse backs cursed a day they traded swords with Ndigbo in the jungle and had a field with hanging ropes. Even the British had to study the war plan the Akagbe and other Igbo warriors used against Caliphate which had already brushed aside, subdued Igala Kingdom and converted many of them into Islamic faith. The Igala people in Igbo land were escapees from the marauding Caliphates soldiers mainly on the horse back. There was no foreign power that has ever marched into Igbo, not even the mighty British, without paying a serious price.

chest-beating na una second name.

Igbos were known cannibals dt lived naked in the bush covered in ichi. They fought no one and had no society. They snatched each other and ate themselves, that's why they still drinkdead body water till date.

Disgusting heritage.
