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. Governor Soludo is the first governor to visit these island communities of Anambra state and he is engraving his Solution touches there. 10 Likes |

Spoil which peace? 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. 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 ... I must visit that place again and this time I pray God bless me financially so that I can show a lot of people love in that town, may God bless them and keep them safe ... 39 Likes 3 Shares |

Anambra West is at the border with Kogi. 90% of the towns and villages are traditionally Igbo while few villages speak Igala. To give them a sense of belonging, the LG HQ was taken to Nzam which is part of the 10% that originally speak Igala. They currently speak both Igbo and Igala
And yes, it has beautiful Islands rich fisheries and agriculture. 18 Likes 1 Share |

Till date I still prefer my village as it was in the 80s even without electricity and tarred roads. Then you could remember on your way to the farm that you didn't lock your door at home and yet continue on your journey without fear of break ins.

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, Ogbe Otu, Umuikem (my village) are riverine communities that have link with Igala. But which tribe are we now? IGBO 15 Likes 1 Share |
