Is It True That Most People In Anambra State Are Originally From Igala ? by Elzazzi: 10:20pm On Nov 17, 2021 |
I was talking to an Igbo friend of mine today and he told me that about 25% of the Igbos in Anambra are originally from Igala in Kogi state. I have been hearing this for awhile now and It has been said several times that even the current governor Willie Obiano is an Igala man. Please how true is this and can anyone here confirm this. Thanks |

Anambra is Igala land now..the governor there is an Igala man. The Igbos occupy a small part in the state. If you watch Igalas speak, they so look down on Igbos as if they have unsettled business. You'll hear statements like.. who is Igbo. 1 Like |

Foolishness, this thread was made just to cause an ethnic war. Igbos are more ancient than igala. We are one of the oldest people in the world and in west Africa. Igala are younger than us, less in population, less in achievements. Igala came to modern kogi and encountered other tribes including Igbos so stop your nonsense. 1 Like |

dokyOloye: You have been deceived.. Willie Obiano is an Igala man but puts on red cap just like Nyesom Wike of Rivers state. Anambra state belongs to the Igala people. It's only Abia, Enugu and Imo that have large number of Igbos. Abakaliki people have their own language entirely different from igbo language but they still bear Igbo names. |

The only true thing about Igalas is that they colonised the present day Yoruba people from 12AD to late 19th century. As a proof, they gave them the language they speak as Yoruba today. Distance in running their satellite Yoruba colonies dwindled their direct influence on Yorubas but their language is still used as lingua Franca in Yorubaland. The language till date still sound as Igala and have more than 50% contemporary Igala words in it 3 Likes |

Elzazzi:Do you know that what you speak as Yoruba in SW today is Igala language forced on the colonies Igala colonised from 12AD as a lingua Franca? Those colonies later turned out to be what we now call Yorubas today. Igala colonised what became Yoruba today for a thousand and 12 years. 800 years of direct colonisation and the remaining 212 years of dwindling influence and indirect colonisation. The evidence is there. Yorubas still speak Igala till tomorrow 5 Likes |

flokii:In SW the only place that doesn't have much Igala influence during the centuries of Igala colonisation is Ekiti axis, parts of Ondo and Awori because Bini had total control of them especially Adọ-Ekiti which still trace her ancestry to Bini. Till date what Ekiti people speak is totally different from the lingua Franca imposed by Igala on what later became Yorubas of today and subsequently the lingua Franca turned to Yoruba language retaining most of its original Igala words. This is why Yorubas have difficulty understanding an average Ondo person, Ekiti and Awori 1 Like |

Elzazzi: No. If anything it would be the other way around. But they have historically travelled a fair bit. For instance, it is strongly believed that 98% of dry land in Bayelsa is ancestrally Igalaland. |

BKayy: The big mouthed tribal bigot has started again. Igala was once considered by linguists to be a dialect of Yoruba. If Yoruba is a dialect of Igala, then why is Igala classified a Yoruboid language and not the other way around?
