laudate: Excuse me, are u from Kogi? Have u been to Olamaboro, Ibaji and Igala mela axis of igala land? If u have not been there, go there and see the heavy similarities between people here and Igbos. Some of our villages have igbo origins and many people from Ibaji and Olamaboro speak igbo fluently as second language. Do u know that even among we igalas, we see ourselves differently? Many igalas from the northern part see us from the southern parts as Igbo-like and even mistake us for Igbos sometimes while we see them as yoruba or hausa like. For instance people often feel those tiger marks are borne by all igalas, but i usually let them know that those of us from southern igala never have such marks, i think northern igalas got those marks from Yorubas. Southern igalas have been neighbours with igbos (Nsukka and Anambra people) for centuries and we have come to share many things in common with them and even them with us (cultural diffusion). That is why many of our people are indigenes of Anambra and Enugu. However, northern igalas have the numbers and population, probably because of islam. In Ibaji, we do not use the yellow and black striped clothes for all ceremonies, our women tie normal gele with laced blouses and two wrappers sometimes. 1 Like |

hammerF: The Attah of igala land may not allow such referendum in Igala land because he will not want anything that will divide his people. Islam and Christianity is already a huge factor of differentiation among his people. I think Idomas may be in a better position for this. |

hammerF: Most South-south and middlebelt minority groups will not choose Biafra because of fear of uncertainty and distrust for Igbos, i can assure you. Gone were the days when the Eastern region was one and the Igbos so powerful in deciding the fate of neighbouring minorities. If Igbos will ever win the heart and trust of their minority neighbours, they have to work to earn it. Otherwise i advise igbos to just stick to the South-east if their agitation will ever make sense. |

laudate: Igalas have no connection with Nri as to what i know. I think Eri is the connection we have with Igbos. Talking about Igala/Igbo connection, the truth is that Igalas are not a homogenous people by origin. I have studied my peope's history and some of us have similar origins with Igbos, many of us came from Kwararafa Kingdom while others have Hausa and Yoruba roots. Any igala person that will tell u that all Igalas have one origin is clearly misinforming u. 1 Like |

hammerF: From what i have studied about my people's history, truly we have origins common with Igbos, but overtime, our Igbo similarities have been heavily diluted by other influences. Igalas were conquered by Kwararafa kingdom for instance and today almost 40% of Igalas now claim Kwararafa origin including the current Attah Of Igala. Many Hausas came to Igala land to trade and the spread of islam came and many of these Hausas were absorbed into Igala. Today if u go to Ankpa axis in Igala land, majority of them are muslims and they will tell u that they have hausa origins. Also, i think Igalas traded a lot with yorubas before the Egbirras came from Kwararafa kingdom and cut igala boundary with yoruba off, this is why igala and yoruba are similar languages. So, you can see the many influences. |
Re: 23 Year Old : Obi Nduka Ezeagwuna II Crowned 20th Obi Of Issele-uku - Pictures by ianSweet(f): 5:52am On Jan 10, 2017 |
laudate: Let me make this clear to you. Igalas don't have one origin. Go to Ankpa for instance, most of them there will tell you that they have hausa origins and this is very true because many hausas came to trade with Igalas and islam came through that route and that is why u see that it is only in Ankpa that u have a clear muslim majority in Igala land. Many Ankpa elders were still speaking hausa some few generations ago but it has died. Infact there is a town called Angwa in Ankpa that you will not find a single christian or animist family and u will see many Ankpa people answering family names like Dan'Asabe, Danjuma, Danladi, Danyaro, Dan'yahaya (all these hausanized versions of islamic names). Over 1/3 of igalas will claim Kwararafa (jukun) origin today because we were conquered and ruled for so many years by them and all the royal igala families then have kwararafan blood or allegiance. Some Igalas from Ofu axis claim that they and yorubas have a common origin, this is why they have the Ojogba of Ife title there (which is the oldest title in Igala land, even older than the Attah, and this is also the only king in igala land that does not bow for the Attah). Some sources claim that this Ojogba of Ife birthed Oduduwa which went to form Ife in yoruba land. Most yorubas will not accept this but most Benins do, because even the Benins claim that Oduduwa went to Igala land before reaching Ife. Lastly, it has been shown that the earliest inhabitants of Igala land had a connection with the Igbos through Eri but it may not be the way many igbos are claiming it today that Eri was an Igbo man. Further more, there were subsequent Igbo migrations into igala land (whether from Nri am not sure). So, there you have it. This Kwararafa (Jukun) origin of Igalas is now gainnig wide acceptance because Jukun rulership over our people is the most recent re- shaping of our history, and our King has been promoting it, also coupled with the fact that many other middlebelt ethnic groups claim Kwararafa origin. 4 Likes |

gregyboy: What is this? What does Benin have to do with Ekumeku? The guy who tried to link Ekumeku with Nri was talking nonsense. But you are talking nonsense too. Ekumeku was a resistance movement by some communities in Aniocha/Oshimil and Ika against European traders and later colonial administration. Neither Benin nor Nri had anything to do with it. 2 Likes |

I know many Igbo people here claiming Anioma origin but I don't think any Bini would do that because most Bini people don't even give a sht about this subject. It's only you people that label any Anioma person trying to put straight the history of his people Anioma. Even go to the extent of calling him a recent Bini migrant out of ignorance as if Anioma is divided between Bini and Igbo migrants. This guy below is an example of imposters. cheruv: 1 Like |

blues20: Anioma people are the indigenous Great Benin Empire desendants of Delta State, Nigeria. They make up about one-third of Delta State, and for administrative purposes they are referred to as Delta North thus contrasting Delta Central and Delta South densely inhabited by the Urhobo, Ukwuani, Isoko, Ijaw, and Itsekiri, the other ethnic groups inhabiting Delta State. The Anioma region has a total population of 1,114,055.[1] The population figure quoted here does not include those of Anioma communities located outside Delta state. Some Anioma population can be found in neighboring Edo State specifically in Igbanke (Igbo Akiri), Oza and Ekpon. The term Anioma is an acronym derived from the four original local governments i.e. (A) for Aniocha, (N) for Ndokwa, (I) for Ika, (O) for Oshimili, M and A are common denominators found in the four original local governments. The coinage was made by the founding father, Chief Dennis Osadebay in 1951 and has since remained the preferred indigenous name by which the people collectively refer to themselves. Thus, A-N-I-O-M-A. |

cheruv: I have lived in Abakiliki for a long time, and I have never started a sentence with "as an Izii man..." No one writes like, except someone who is trying to tell you that that is what he is by tribe. An Ohuhu living in Aba will never say, "As an Ngwa man...", an Echie man in Port Harcourt will never say, "As an Ikwerre man..." What you may hear is "As an Aba boy" or "as a PH boy", indicating ties to the particular city he was raised in. That you did not write "as an Aba boy", but instead wrote "As an ukwangwa" speaks volumes. So that line about you living there a long time blah blah is an attempt at saving face after being caught impersonating. It's okay, we get it.

BornStunner1:Nope.... you are so wrong with your wikipedia copy and paste. Anioma means the same thing in South East Igbo and Delta Igbo. It literally translates to good land. Now let me toe your step by copying the same source, but this time completely, not that doctored trash you spilled up there. Anioma people are the indigenous Great Benin Empire desendants and also Igbo people of Delta State, Nigeria. They make up about one-third of Delta State, and for administrative purposes they are referred to as Delta North thus contrasting Delta Central and Delta South densely inhabited by the Urhobo, Ukwuani, Isoko, Ijaw, and Itsekiri, the other ethnic groups inhabiting Delta State.

Some Anioma population can be found in neighboring Edo State specifically in Igbanke (Igbo Akiri), Oza and Ekpon. The term Anioma means 'Good Land' in Igbo and is also an acronym derived from the four original local governments i.e. (A) for Aniocha, (N) for Ndokwa, (I) for Ika, (O) for Oshimili, M and A are common denominators found in the four original local governments. The coinage was made by the founding father, Chief Dennis Osadebay in 1951 and has since remained the preferred indigenous name by which the people collectively refer to themselves. Thus, A-N-I-O-M-A. Sentimentally, there are also Anioma people in Anambra State i.e. Onitsha, Ogbaru, Akwukwu Obosi, Ozobulu, Ogidi. Some are in Imo State i.e. Oguta, Rivers State i.e. Ndoni. Anioma people who had one destiny prior to the coming of the Europeans were balkanized after they lost the Ekumeku War of resistance against the British imperialism in 1914 after 31 years of fighting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anioma_people Bro even the Benin part was recently added, so try harder next time. |
