Journal of the Historical Society of Nigeria Vol. 2, No. 1 (December 1960) Notes on Contact between the Igala and the Ibo by J.S. Boston The history of the Anambra connection with the Igala kingdom is contained in the traditions of a group of related villages that form a clan known as Umueri. This group is settled in two sections, roughly midway between Onitsha and Awka; the northern section is centered on Aguleri, an important trading town on the left bank of the river Anambra, and the southern section has its centre at Nri, some thirty miles away. The towns forming the first section are Aguleri, Nteje and Oreri. The northern Umueri villages say that the clan was founded by a man called Eri who came to the Anambra are from Igala country, and settled at Aguleri. Some versions say that he was a hunter, and others that he was an Igala war leader; it is uncertain whether there was an existing settlement when Eri arrived or whether the locality was unoccupied. Eri's first son, Nri left his father's home to found the town that bears his name, and other sons founded the remaining towns in this group. Aguleri takes its own name from Eri's second son, Agulu, but the ruling families there trace their own descent from one Aguve, who is said to have been given the title of Eze by the Ata 'Gala at Idah. jstor.org/stable/41970820 3 Likes 4 Shares

KingOKON: your brain size is proportional to your midget body reasing u just spill this trash. Nri is strongly rooted in Igbo culture and they have absolutely nothing in common with Igala. believe this hogwash epistle at ur own peril. 2 Likes |

okigbojihad: There's evidence to show that Nri is closely connected to Igala whether the culture originated there isn't definite but there is a definite close link in trade and military as the Igala often hired Igbo warriors to fight in their wars 2 Likes |

KingOKON: The Abam Warriors of the Ohafia region they were the most feared warriors in all of Igbo land and were often hired by Igala kings who had close links to the Igbos |

Abohboy:. Wonderful! * So how did this Ohafia warriors moved over the Aros controlled IBO territories to go join the Igalas to do this rumors battles. Lands, rivers or how. Use the above map or ur knowledge of the location of Ohafia n Igala to explain the possibility * Remember Slave trade was seriously going on 1 Like |
Re: Notes On Contact Between The Igala And The Ibo By J.S. Boston by Abohboy: 4:43pm On Oct 20, 2021 |
KingOKON: The Ohafia Warriors were the warriors of the Aro which is why they were able to conquer so much land so quickly and the Aro and Igala had very good connections so in times of war the Aro was able to give the Igala warriors in exchange for products like leather from the north 1 Like |

KingOKON: It's clear that you've never heard of the trans saharan trade route and even internal trade routes in Nigeria go and read about them then come back to me There was a market along the River Niger at Aboh and another one upstream at Idah and both of these hosted Igala, Igbo, Benin and Ijaw traders the Ijaws primarily bought yams from these markets and sold salt to the other groups and the Igala mainly sold leather products from the north and other agricultural goods at Idah if you don't know about trade just say so and I will say it now Go onto Jstor and register for a free account under an independent researcher then search Aboh kingdom, Aboh and Idah, Aboh and Igala, Igbo and Igala then search about the Abam Warriors afterwards and you'll see and read everything that i've read no reason to continue this argument unless you've read what i've read 2 Likes |

Abohboy:. See crab, so it is free account you use come lemme give u access to Library of prestigious universities and especially the ones that colonized Nigeria Lemme ask you one simple question, which port did the Aros ever controlled? |
Re: Notes On Contact Between The Igala And The Ibo By J.S. Boston by Abohboy: 6:29pm On Oct 20, 2021 |
KingOKON: Jstor literally has books from these presitgious universities and many other renowned scholars if you don't use a free account you either have to pay or login through a school account and most of the school accounts if you search through them are for top universities like Cambridge and Oxford so the fact that these schools provide a code to use to access Jstor should tell you how reliable and helpful it can be. They didn't ever control a port they kidnapped and conquered people inland and sold them to the Calabaris at Calabar or the Ijaws and Igbos at Bonny and Brass respectively to sell them off to the Europeans |
Re: Notes On Contact Between The Igala And The Ibo By J.S. Boston by KingOKON: 7:46pm On Oct 20, 2021 |
Abohboy:. Why are u guys shameless? First Ohafia then Aros, yet they never ever controlled any port then how did this warriors get accros the RIvers and territories controlled by either the Ijaws and Benins to fight for the Igalas? I can very well see that it is Books from Igbos library u specialize on but just calling JSTOR so as to feel belonged, anyway very terrible knowledge of history you have gathered all courtesy of IPOB What is Calabaris at calabar? What is Igbos at Brass, what year and under what leader/ chief did this nonsense happen? I ask questions because it is clear you guys are only being indoctrinated with IPOB lies over histories and facts that are well documented 2 Likes 1 Share |

Abohboy: So all this circle you are running around makes meaning to you? Who are calabaris at calabar? Which Igbos were at Brass selling slaves during slave trade and under which leader? |
Re: Notes On Contact Between The Igala And The Ibo By J.S. Boston by Abohboy: 7:58pm On Oct 20, 2021 |
KingOKON: Igbos at Bonny and Ijaws at Brass or even both groups in both locations at the same time and the Calabaris or Kalabaris are the indigenes of Calabar and its environs 1 Like |

KingOKON: I'm a Nigerian from Ijebu Ode ( Maternal ) and Aboh Kingdom ( Paternal ) You're the one who doesn't seem Nigerian seeing as you don't know that Kalabaris exist in Nigeria and that they're the main inhabitants of Calabar and it's surrounding areas where did you think the name came from? |

Abohboy:PLS NOTE: Kalabari people refers to the Ijaw clans of Rivers State not Calabar. Second, the Abams were allied to the Aro confederacy and went on slave raids or sold slaves of the interior Ibo country to the Ijaws of Bonny, Brass, Nembe, and other Ijaw areas because the Ijaws are the original settlers and middlemen between the Europeans and the Aros who brought the slaves or captives from the Ibo interior. The advanced history books written by the whites and slave buyers who came to the Niger Delta many centuries back clearly state these facts. The Igalas had a strong military and NEVER used any Abam fighters for any of the Igala wars with Oba Ewuare of Bini kingdom over 500 years ago, or with the Nupe and Jukun. 1 Like 2 Shares
