idu kpala ny'omi! eju b'eju ayilo! akabale ki a ch'abale! ojiji ogbekwu gbekwu! Attah ododo! The only king that came out to confront the Biafran fighter plane during the civil war! The most educated and highly enlightened amongst the kings of his time! Adieu His Royal Higness, Agaba Idu. You have fought a good fight and passed the baton on to a worthy successor. Rest in peace as we continue to propagate your message of unity across the globe. We are proud of your accomplishments. Good bye! |

vinibabe: . AGABA IDU is for OCI'IDOMA that is the traditional Chief of Idoma, like ATTA IGAlA Now I am confused; Seems like Idoma,Igbo and Igala has more in common than they actually know. Well Vinibabe,aletheia thinks differently. He thinks is an Igala expression for " Great lion" while I think its an Igbo expression for "a great man" or " great masqurade" so you tell me what "Agaba Idu" means in Idoma language. Thanks dear. |

Revolva: Rest in peace attah. Read more here http://africanspotlight.com/2012/07/attah-of-igala-and-chancellor-university-of-lagos-dies/ My he the AGABA IDU rest in most peaceful bossom of our God. But dude,the Agulueri you mentioned are children of Eri and Nri i much more older than Igala so how can you say you are older than your papa?? There is no doubt in my mind that we the Nri are related to Igala but we are yet to come about when and how that occured. Most Anambra,Delta Igbo,parts of Idoma and Igala lands are the offsprings of Nri Enwelana which a son of Eri. |

MacLovington: . Very interesting. An Igala guy I conversed with earlier told me " Idu" means lion and now this is my first time of hearing Bini was called " Ado n' Idu" which is what Onicha are affectionatelly. And there are two words in that phrase " Ado n' Idu" which depicts two different thing. Meaning "Ado" means something and ""Idu" another. I will like to know what "Idu" and " Ado" mean in Bini. |

I used to admire his oratory while delivering speeches during convocation ceremonies in UNILAG in my undergraduate days. As an academic doctor, he lived a life worthy of emulation. May his soul RIP |

NRI PRIEST: Ajengogo: idu kpala ny'omi! I was only praising the gallantry of my ebullient Attah of Igala without any intention of whipping up tribal sentiment. If you ever had a king in your kingdom that has the charisma, the sagacity, the oratory, the awe, etc. that characterised the late Agaba idu; and you failed to praise these attributes, then you must be something else |
Re: Attah Igala (Aliyu Obaje) Is Dead by Ajengogo(m): 10:38pm On Jul 17, 2012 |
floriana: Igala people are evil anywhere you have more than one of them at work. Like GEJ would say: "I don't give a damn"!: A typical Igala person is not a boot-leaker, praise-singer, back-bitter or gossipmonger. A typical Igala person is honest and trustworthy to the core. We don't hesitate in pointing out your weaknesses to your face no matter your status. If that makes us evil, then so be it. |

Ajengogo: Abeegi go sidown; You make sound as if Igala defeated Biafra or that Igala as insignificant as they are can stand close the Igbos! Later now you will be crying you are being oppressed because you are minority! Dont start what you cant finish ! |

phildon: Crap! What xactly do they do? Sit on tall chair n face loyalists? Mtcheeeew! Sir, you are actually right. The authority of the Traditional-Rulers has been questioned & its being reduced daily in this modern age. Their office has been reduced to mainly performing ceremonial functions since modern day politics & goverment have cleverly taken over the legislative, executive & judiciary organs/arms of the State, which were actually theirs before the herald of the Military Rule & the Republics. Being that as it may, you still find that some of the successful & highly educated Trad rulers are more able to touch so many lives because of the platform the kingship affords them. Also, they still find their usefulness in the Machiavellian-politics of Modern day, especially for the incumbent governments of the cities or states where traditions held strong e.g Lagos, Edo, Sokoto, Anambra, Osun, Oyo, Imo etc In my opinion, their office should actually be scrapped because of its redundancy, duplication of organ of government & unnecessary wastage of Public fund. But some people hold second thought & think otherwise. |

NRI PRIEST: Yeah now you see bro and I even heard that the attah of igala's mum is igbo, every igbo man should try know much about his fellow brother the igalas and idomas are you closest brother don't look as if regional shift and politics has made everty thing changed where am from in igalaland we and igbos share so much in common the way we do things you will think we are igbos but we speak igala ok this is due to the fact we share very close borders to anambra and do you guy know that the attah was the very first to be a muslim and the longest reigning monarch in Nigeria - |

NRI PRIEST: Pls go hug transformer for all I care. Biafra was doomed to defeat any time any day. Just get that into your empty skull. As for your reference to Igala as insignificant, let me educate you that Igala land in particular, and Kogi state in general has provided more means of livelihood to your normadic ibo folks than the entire igbo land has ever provided for my Igala folks. In other words, our spirit of accommodation has made your people feel more at ease/home in our kingdom than in their so called ancestral igbo land. Yet you sit in one corner of your joint to refer to us as insignificant? My guy, don't ever bite the finger that feeds you. Ok? |
