Cindypresh: You are wrong. However, Ebonyi People are presently claiming they are not Igbo. If this happen, that means Igbo land will only be Abia and Imo States with half of Enugu State only. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

garfield1:The name is Ette ward 1 and 2 Nsukka lga has no boundary with kogi state, so how can they have igala The Three LGAs that have boundary with kogi are uzo uwani , Igbo Eze south and igbo Eze North,. The kogites that live at the boundary area with each of these LGAs speak Igbo and that is why some igbos believe there are igbos in kogi state . Only Igbo Eze North have none Igbo speaking tribe within her border and they speak idoma but bounded with kogi/igala community call ogwugwu. Igbo is not widely spoken in ogwugwu as other kogi tonws on the border because the idoma speaking Ette of Igbo Eze North lie between the kogi igalas and the igbos. 3 Likes |
