Igala people under the auspices of Ufedo Foundation of Nigeria have said that the agitators of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) erred by including them in the map because they are not part of Biafra.

The foundation demanded an apology from IPOB because they felt insulted by their inclusion in the map.

The group was reacting to a statement credited to IPOB spokespersons, Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya that Biafra was not for Igbos alone.

IPOB had noted in the publication that in the present day Nigeria, the nation of Biafra consists of some Igbo speaking states and Igala in Kogi state.

One of Ufedo trustees, Dr. Labaran Abalaka said the group erred by including the Igala in Biafra, “We wish to dissociate ourselves from the inclusion of Igala people in the so-called map of Biafra.”

He said, “For the Biafran agitators to single-handedly carve a map of their envisaged republic and include the Igala kingdom amounts to fraud and grave insult to the Igala race."

Dr. Abalaka while addressing journalists yesterday said the foundation was aware that no meeting was held between the Igalas of Kogi state and the leadership of Biafra agitators with a view to discussing the inclusion of the Igala race in the Biafran agenda.

“We demand an open apology for the insult and immediate retraction of the wrongful inclusion,” he said.

Dr. Abalaka said the Igala people are satisfied in Nigeria and are not contemplating any secession.

Afonja at it again. Op is the same person as the second poster...deceiving his ewedu skull. Until I hear from Atta of Igala who met with Nnamdi Kanu in 2014, these groups are useless and paid vendors. Afonjas stop these your behavior....will take you no where.

What the fvck is wrong with Igbos?

What exactly is the relationship between Igala and biafra?

Are they serious with this their biafra at all?

You just sit in one corner and start adding people to your agitation, just like that.

i realise the problem of an average igbo man is a Yoruba man. anybody that says he's not part of your plan is Yoruba. now the igbo slogan is "have u blame a Yoruba man today" my point is u are the architect of your own misfortune so face ur problem n not shift it on yoruba

I have being telling them that they have no say about this matter except the Atta of Igala himself


Only the Atta's word remains final

all this online igala..Don't know their history.

beside.. Biafra is not by force.. no one is pleading with anybody to join Biafra nation.

kanu's comment on this minorities..where as a result of discourse he had with their chiefs, kings nd elders.

this guys were never part of the eastern nigeria.. so why the fuse..

they were even the once that Aboki used to fight the war.


please..please is not force to attach to biafra..


plus Atta Minus Atta.. will prefer make this people dey their lane..

All igbo "land" is Biafra.. any other people that want to attach have to conduct their own referendum first within. before we can consider.

that's the position of IPOB.

let's not come online to spew thrash..

referendum is to be conducted in the south-east and Igbo speaking minorities groups.. any other interested group.have to ask for it...

You know the problem of those people? They have lost complete touch with reality of Nigeria.
It's so bad now for them that even if a man in Sokoto denies Biafra, they will say he is afonja!
I think the world afonja now represents any dissenting voice to Biafra and not necessarily refers to a Yoruba person.

Igala should organise a referendum so we know what they really want.

Sharaaap!!! Even if the Attah comes out to deny you guys ( which is not even necessary anyway) you all will claim that he doesn't represent the people and he just have a single vote in your imaginary referendum.
You will keep shifting the goal post until you score. an own goal very soon. Mark my words
