ianSweet: The images I uploaded on the first page says otherwise. From the list you can see various communities in Kogi state with Igbo names such as Umuoye, Umuochina etc. One of the prominent Igbo-speaking communities in Kogi is the Eke Avurugo community where Igbo is spoken as first language and Igala as second language. In addition to many Igalas speaking Igbo as second language, would it not follow that these/some Igalas in southern Igala land are of Igbo origin and not due to linguistic proximity? The one or two Igala-speaking villages in Igboland are readily assumed to be Igala of origin, however the Igbo-speaking Igalas are not related to Igbo in anyway?? Ibaji Igala, as you probably know, is heavily influenced by the Igbo language. However, it would not be satisfactory enough to assume that the dialect was just influenced by Igbo language without acknowledging some possible Igbo migration in the area, just as some Igalas migrated southwards towards Igboland, in substantial numbers to influence the Ibaji dialect? Even the 'core' Igalas of Idah, Dekina, Ofu etc. often regard Ibaji Igalas as 'omo Igbo' and don't see them as 'core' Igalas. 15 Likes |

ianSweet: Aren't the Idomas in the majority in Ette, followed by Igala? Then Igbo? It seems to me that the Igalas are trying to lay ownership to Ette town as they seem to be doing to other places of recent. |

I know of Akpanya in Igalamela/Odolu LGA. They all speak Igbo. Everyone born and bred in the town speak Igbo. The ones that speak Igala are those that had travelled - mainly the elders. Their market is Orie, also an Igbo Market day. 7 Likes |

Joavid: Well it is possible. Odekes and Uchuchu communities in Ibaji are said to be of Igbo origins - from Aguleri and Isiokwe in Igboland respectively. In African history, a lot of stories of migration keep flying around. DNA test conducted on many Ibaji Igalas will prove many of them have Igbo DNA. Especially y-DNA tests conducted on Ibaji males that determine paternal ancestry, as we know identity in Nigeria is paternalistic. 4 Likes |

AgentH2SO4: That's why I have spent my time educating Afonjas of Igbo communities in SS and MB so that when another civil war starts, they don't foolishly run into Igbo communities seeking for help thinking we are online and everything is propaganda and joke. Honestly two sensible yorubas have contacted me privately and thanked because they never thought such large Igbo communities existed in those communities outside SE. But the Afonjas among them will keep living in self denial until war starts...foolishly run into Igbo areas thinking they are not Igbos, that day they will be used for nkwobi and isi ewu. 13 Likes 3 Shares |

oglalasioux: Well, the Igalas sought to conquer Nsukka land by taking advantage of the lack of a centralized kingship system in Igbo land (Igbo enwe eze). The extent of conquest by the Atta of Igala was the installation of an 'attama' to mediate between Nsukka gods and the people. However the Nsukka people strongly resisted the Igala influence. The Aku people of Nsukka defeated the Igalas at lake Omeluigala. A few Igalas settled in Nsukka land afterwards and were absorbed into the Igbo population. However, the Nsukkas still maintain Nri (natively called Nchi/Nshi) origin. In my first year in the university I had an Igala roommate. The guy seemed to have something against Igbos defeating Igalas in the past and even one time told me that very soon the Igalas will conquer Nsukka land again. ![]() 2 Likes |

Joavid: Must you exhibit your hatred for Igbo people on every comment? I understand that you are a young person but being young doesn't mean that you should be dumb. Creation of regions and later states divided many communities which resulted to many igbo communities falling into neighbouring states that are not predominantly Igbo. After the civil war, it was another way for Nigeria government to ensure that Igbos remain in a United Nigeria. 8 Likes 1 Share |

murphyibiam15:Are you from Ohaozara? Southern part of Ebonyi speak and understand themselves, though with little differences. Same with the northern part; they understand themselves. The northern and southern parts of the state don't even understand themselves. I have been to both Ebonyi North and South. That state is really a great one but bad government and lack of sound education keeps her behind. Can you imagine that Edda is the first place where oil was first discovered in Nigeria |

murphyibiam15: Yes I agree with you...Anambra Igbo is central. Abia, Imo, Enugu and Ebonyi, Delta and Rivers have many dialects. What's funny is all these many Igbo dialects speakers even those in Delta like Agbor, and Rivers Ikwerre understand Anambra central Igbo well well. That's why most Rivers marry from Anambra...Peter Odili, Ameachi, Hon. Nwuche, Amadi, I mean all of them that I know marry mostly from Anambra. I lived in PH for 5 yrs, 1 out of every 3 married Ikwerres I knew, married from Anambra or Enugu. We all know Anambra and Enugu are one people except the Nnsuka that have Igala mix up and dialect. 4 Likes |

bigfrancis21: Ette is 50 / 50 Idoma /Igala then Igbo But in Eastern Kogi, Idoma and Igala share more or less the same Identity. Many of the Idomas have adopted Igala names and customs, because it seems to be the stronger of the two cultures. |
Re: Igbo Speaking Communities In Kogi State by bigfrancis21: 3:46pm On Nov 04, 2016 |
Clinton9000: Anambra Igbo is not central. I am just hearing this for the first time. I am from Anambra. We speak and maintain our various 'Anambra dialects' which are similar to each other. Onitsha Igbo is easily understandable by most in Anambra and Igboland but it is not central Igbo. Also, observing Onitsha and central Igbo, you would find out both are similar in sentence lexicon but many words in central Igbo come from southern Igboland - Umuahia etc. 12 Likes 1 Share |

mengho:Igbos are not far off from Igalas bro. Some of the folks i know as Igalas i will have to admit are not full or real Igalas. We dn't need to look at them twice to know dat dey hail from the Igbo border areas. De only issue is that there are of mixed ancestry so u can't say which tribe dey really are.

Go to Ibadan and ask the difference between Akpan and Emeka if they will know. On the contrary, the SS people are the ones fiercely and jealously guarding their unique ethnic identities. And rightly so. 11 Likes 1 Share |

OmoIgala: Ette as a community speak three different languages. While a large population of Ette people speak Idoma language, others speak Igbo and Igala. This had been the situation right from the old Eastern Region through the defunct East Central State, to old Anambra State; old Enugu State and now the present Enugu State. Christians, who are of the Catholic denomination had also been in the Immaculate Heart Parish, Aji, Enugu–Ezike in the Catholic Archdiocese of Nsukka until it became a full fledged parish – St. James the Apostle Parish, Ette, on September 28,1998.
