Igalas conquered Igbos militarily but didn't conquer them culturally; Igbos have conquered Igalas culturally by forcing them to bear Igbo names and speak Igbo.

You want to conquer a people? Stop them from speaking their language and force your own language on them.

Kewtt:
As a Igala tribe in an Igbo dominated state, it is very difficult because Anambra state government has made it compulsory for all the school to speak igbo(ibo) language through out which sometime makes it difficult for Igala young ones to speak Igala.


This MUST be addressed. This is actually an act of genocide

Very foolish talk. The government of Nigeria had made it compulsory for everyone to speak and study English in Schools, had it made difficult for various tribes to speak their indigenous languages?

Blake755:

Is there language different from normal igbo

Night and day

You are versed

TheChameleon:
We don't want a history lesson.

We need Igalas to lead Anambra and it will happen.

Those who ruled the state previously left it a shiithole. ONLY Obiano tried a bit

It must happen

I know says all these Bemue people have lost their identity.....bevsue they don't know.where to.belong....they kept on licking the ass of Yiibo people....and no place for them.in either the northern or eastern side of the. Country....now, they want to become the governor of Anambra state...now, ask them.on which threshold....who will support you...when those you could have been fighting against have kept on using you to. make their Biafra voice known...
Igala or. whatever people. you, call yourself ..leep lo king Yiibo people ass in Anambra state till you get sense.....

Igala will be govern Anambra State or they break it

udede:
continue fooling your self. 40% and i have never met any igala man.

Go mobilize your people to contest the governorship election,40% of the population of Anambra state is more than 2million . You can win any election in anambra if you are sure of what you are saying.

Igala own substantial portion of Anambra State

juman:
But some haters of obiano always called him Igala.

Yes derogatorily. And complain if others use such terms for their own tribe

If truly they are complaining the best is to shift them back(both with their ancestral land) to Kogi
where their brothers reside

Kewtt:



We will. The UN would be notified duly. Igala language must be taught in Anambra State schools by fire by force ...
I hate injustice in any form

how about teaching Igbo language in kogi,benue and Lagos states?..
Mumus everywhere .

It's a fact that cannot be wished away.

No be mouth or opening thread here and there on nairaland.
Join a party, buy form. Win primaries and solicit for votes from the masses.
Igala oh, hausa, yoruba or whatever tribe, just do the above. If you win, you become the governor. Simple as that

IGALA must be next governor of Anambra state

Anambra state belongs to IGALA , Anambra state is their ancestral land and next governor must be IGALA

Kewtt:

Well said Comrade

Gavinleah:


Bring your candidate, contest and win then become governor.

Has any Anambra man told igala not to vote in Anambra, is only in Lagos that happens

Next governor of Anambra state must be IGALA , Anambra state is their ancestral land

Quality20:
Igala or idoma

IGALA for governor and IDOMA for deputy governer. Anambra state is their ancestral land

Ikechukwutech:
Nice observations by the op. Equity is sacrosanct

Op is an elder stateman who means well for Nigeria and Nigerians

Next governor of Anambra state must be IGALA, Anambra state is their ancestral land

NigerianAngelo:
Seems you are mad.

Igbos comprise 99.5% of Anambra State and you are talking rubbish. We can add your tiny portion to Kogi State (I think they said half-a-village at the tip of Anambra North) by Constitutional amendment if you want.


See these mumu people that can never challenge muslims, perpetually ruled by them unchallenged.


It's high time we start flogging all of you. Rubbish post. God punish you & Bless/make saint of me and 4000 other Igbo men.

Kodak9:
guy Dem tire me
If you want to go to Abuja through lokoja the smell that will welcome is so pungent and bad, like fermented cassava

That won't stop IGALA from occupying Anambra state government house as governor

dinachi:

Even in that Kogi State, Igala people are so backward that you begin to wonder. Very proud, very poor and empty people. Smelly everywhere. Infact, I know that the Egbiras and Okun are tired of them.

Imagine an Igala Man coming and accusing Anambra people. Just imagine. Oh. If we hand over Anambra State to you can you do anything there? You want to return Anambra to your backward state of Kogi.

Anambra state is IGALA ancestral land. Next governor must be IGALA

So because nnewi never produce governer doesn't mean IGALA won't be next governor of Anambra state. Anambra state is their ancestral land too

onumadu:
Mischievous post.
Since the creation of Anambra state (both old and new) an Nnewi person has never been elected governor except the three months Virgy Etiaba interregnum.
Imagine a whole Nnewi people that are the heartbeat of Anambra, and yet they somehow get sidelined for governorship positions in Anambra state.
And they don't complain, at least not yet.
Even Nnewi roads are being ignored despite the fact that Nnewi generates billions of Naira for Anambra state coffers, while roads in Igala part of Anambra state has been getting government attention from Peter Obi's government to Obiano and now to Soludo.
You people creating this type of post should fear God, but I support that the OP is likely from South west.

same way Igbo language should be taught in Nasarawa n Lagos

SenatePresdo:


Where are the proof of this Genocides, show pictures of dead Igalas killed by Obiano.

Keep quayet

Igbo is taught in those states

The point (since you missed it) is that the sun will first shine on those standing, before it shines on those sitting down.

Igala one of the Aboriginal of Nigeria entity . Yes minority tribes should also be given a chance as far as he/she is competent
