A list of Igbo Speaking communities in Igalaland, Kogi State.
The Igala are an ethnic group predominant in the present day Kogi State. They have physical boundaries and cultural afflictions with the Igbo, Idoma, Okun and Edo.
While a whole lot is known about some Igbo-speaking communities such as the Anioma in Delta State, Ndoki, Ikwerre and Etche in Riverstate, the Umuezekaoha people of Benue State etc. outside the five Southeastern states, very little is known as the Igbo-speaking people in Igala land.
As a result of the the heavy settlement of Igbo migrant farmers (19th and 20th centuries) in Igala land, one could find a handful of communities which are Igbo-speaking communities going by their names. Also, If you're acquainted with Igala language, you will find out that there's no 'Z' in their alphabet which is present in Igbo language. This equally justifies that the communities in question belong to the Igbo people.
The following are the Igbo-speaking communities in Igala land.
The EkeAvurugo in Ibaji LGA. They speak Igbo as their first language and Igala as their second language.
2. Ugwuebonyi, Ebokwe, Ozara, Amaeke, Amankpo, Amauwani camp, Amaokwu, Amadiefioha, Amaufulu, etc. all in Igalamela/Odolu lga of Kogi State
3. Nwajala, Umuoye, Ubulie-Umueze in Ibaji lga of Kogi state.
4. The Odolu community in Igalamela/Odolu LGA is said to speak Igala as first language and the Nsukka Igbo dialect as second language.
5. Akpanya in Igalamela/Odolu LGA. They all speak Igbo. Everyone born and bred in the town speak Igbo.
6. Onicha-Igo is a town in Ofu LGA of Kogi state

Olomaboro (south-east kogi) people I have met identified as Igbo.

Do you know that some tribes in the middlebelt fought against Biafra because they were worried of staying in Nigeria without Igbos in it.

BCC interviewed one of the middlebelt soldiers and he raised this concern.
This is true but it was because they were I'll informed. Gideon Orkar was the one correct man who knew the exact problem. Why he failed is still a mystery to me. I'm seriously pained by his failure.

Imagine Core Northerners and Muslims from the South west calling Igbo people "Pigs"

That's because Muslims hate pigs
Anyone who doesn't agree with them will be referred as pig.

I opened a thread about how the wicked people that created the current Nigerian state maps after the civil war cut out so many peripheral igbo communities and added them to neighboring states.

Some people felt that my acknowledgement of that fact was causing trouble for them.

They prefered that I maintained the mainstream Nigerian lies that there are no Igbos from outside the artificially created south east.

Were these communities under the eastern region before the civil war?

What's your definition of hate?
That's what you believe,

People who hate themselves always slaughter, bomb and kidnap themselves.

You Northerners have (Boko Haram)the 3rd most deadliest, (Fulani jihadist herdsmen) the 4th most deadliest terrorist group in the world,

Northern Nigerians placed Nigeria at 3rd position in the list of most terrorist countries in the world.
