I think he is right, I did a school project in one of those community, "Owelle and Inoma, I hope I got those spelling right...there local government headquarters is in a town called Nzam...they are actually Igala but they do claim Igbo and I used to laugh them for that how I noticed that they are originally Igala is because, their older men and women answers Igala native names, but the younger ones answers Igbo names and speaks Igbo fluently.
They have that chronic Igala tongue.... You are convinced they're Igala because the old folks among them have Igala names, while the younger ones have Igbo names. However, according to Nairaland, those in the Niger Delta whose both young and old speak Igbo, have Igbo names and culture are not Igbo. Nigerians are very interesting people. Anyways, the reason their older folks have Igala names is may be because they are the ones who survived the war; they took on these names to avoid the stigmatization faced by Igbos back then. Now, with a new era dawning and the stigmatization wearing off, the younger generations have embraced their roots 4 Likes |

There are several islands on the river Niger that belong to Anambra state. They all fall under Anambra west LGA. The island of Igbedor seems to be the largest with a bustling fishing community there. The people there speak Igala and Igbo. For many years they were forgotten in the provision of government projects but now Governor Chukwuma Soludo is remembering them with healthcare, schools and sanitation interventions.

Soludo tried for remembering the community but point of correction, there's no Igala speakers in Anambra.
Although some of Anambra North indgenes especially Riverine areas, villages along River Niger mainly, towns or communities like Odakpe in Ogbaru Local Govt, Onitsha, Anam, Nzam e.t.c are the towns with Igala descendants/migrants and that's over 16th centuries ago.
No town or community in Anambra currently speaks Igala. What some people actually regard as Igala is just a dialect of Igbo and it has no meaning in Igala language.
In Onitsha, the ogbe olu communities such as Obikporo, Umuikem (my village) are riverine communities that have link with Igala. But which tribe are we now? IGBO
I am Anam also...who wants to be associated with backward igalla tribe |

They have that chronic Igala tongue.
During raining season, you can't access those villages by road, they use boat to Onitsha, and you can use boat and get to a town in Delta state across the river Niger and find your way to Asaba.
I wish those people are allowed to live their peaceful life the way they are, they are very happy and healthy, they lack nothing and are far better off tjan those living in developed towns...I never locked my door even at night,.the day they had a festival and some guys came fron Asaba and mixed up them, that was the night o lost my android phone the suspect was an Igala boy who was an idiotic migrant.
When the news got to the ears of the igwe, to my suprise they did a town cry and announced that that phone should be returned because it belongs to a stranger.....but it was never returned anyway...
they farm yam, pepper, rice and they have a lot of ogbono trees....they have soo much fish, and those people are in fact the most hospitable people after the people of benue state where I come from .
They are soo nice that after my project ended, I felt like not leaving the village.
They have farming camps far away from their settlements, life in those camps is something if you experience you will never want to leave the place.
Seriously, if I get money, I am going back to that place to visit some friends I made among them
I have never seen such hospitality in my life before, the day I left the village, I was shedding tears as old as I am😁
When I got back to port Harcourt, it took me time before I stopped wishing that I shouldn't have left the place.
Unfortunately, the contractor I worked for ate my money to the tune of 1,167,400...... Over a million that was all I worked for ...
