One Love to All Nigerians.

BALLOSKI:
usual chestbeating from an "un-informed" follower of kanu. You wanna turn history on it's head. Igala whipped your people.

[/s]

This old idiot instead of you to focus on issues that relates to your ordinary Imo state you are busy trying to rewrite history. Who told you bastard that Nri originated from Igala? Nri in the present Anambra is where all Igbos came from and it has nothing to do with Igala.

FYI: Nri is the origin of the entire Igbo race and your attempt to link it to Igala is dead on arrival. Stop spewing rubbish all the time.

Again stop writing Awka and your Orlu on the same sentence because they have nothing in common. Awka as a core Igbo enclave has a very long history and culture dating back to the year 1200.

Abagworo:
Igala didn't colonize Igbo but we should rather say some Igbos share blood relationship with Igala. The Nri Igbos originate from Igala and occupy Northern part of Igboland in a mix with aborigines from Awka and Orlu. It is same as all Igbos outside the core Awka-Orlu area. Oguta people and most Western Igbos equally share blood relationship with Edo/Bini in a mix with the Awka-Orlu Igbos and some Igala-Igbos too. I believe it is same with most ethnic groups as nobody can claim to be pure except you lived in total isolation.

Read below is to cure your insecurity and stupid ignorance as all Igbos originated from Nri.

Igbo are quick to call minorities slaves of hausa/fulani at the slightest chance, so this serves as a reminder of where you people are coming from. You were once under direct control of one of the minorities.If you dont like this reminder then stop calling others slaves ,focus on your Biafra project.

Wow

This thread should be on the front page. I never knew ibos were dominated by the igala people in the years gone by.They were supreme cowards who couldn't defend their territories and probably won the Nsukka conflict by excessive breeding to outnumber the gallant igala soldiers

There is still more to learn about that aspect of history. The Igala conquered quite a number of northern Igbo towns. Are you even aware that Asaba people descended from an Igala warrior Prince?

To be honest, what have the Igala people have to say now?
Exactly. It's as bad as the Danes claiming to rule over the east of Britian.
But then the British Empire happened.
Onye berebe.

Yes, the British Empire happened, but it has still not obliterated the historical antecedents of the Danes. Their history is still taught in many schools abroad. I am just curious about one thing, though. Is 'onye eberibe' your new middle name? Tell us, o!

According to Igala history in northern igbo land has it that Igala warrior settled in northern igbo and one of there illustrious son was made a high priest inwhich the porpular community(group) are the Eze Nri/Nri people which shows more to the aspect of there origin pionts towards Igala.

Pointless. You asked how does Nri influenced AkwaIbom, Cross River, Imo and Abia states, I posted this below. Now you don't want to discuss it anymore.

I also understand its all about supremacy and who is who in igbo land, but i'm intrested to know about those influence becuse your post did not list them, you can help and list them one by one any way lets start with this
(1) Who was or whats the name of your first nri man to setlled in pre colonia akwa ibom, cross river, imo state,abia state because every thing has an origin.

The only thing i know of the Igalas is that they were seen by other tribes as foolish back in the days,thats why "Onuku Igala" which means my Igala friend is used as Insult in Igbo language
if an Igbo calls u onuku beat am well and when he adds salt to the Injury by calling it in full to Onuku igala na better insult be dat o
my Igbo mum dont waste time in Calling us Onuku igala when we misbehaved

laudate:


Don't mind that clown. Many people do not realise that Kogi State alone is the 12th largest state in terms of landmass, and that Igala land occupies more than half of the place? Igala land is even bigger in size than some entire Southeastern states.

When their own IPOB people lift articles from Wikipedia, they consider it to be true, but when people from other ethnic groups make reference to the same Wikipedia, they say it is fiction. We are all watching them in 3D.

Check this Map, and you'd see that the SE is just a little bigger than Igala land.

Hehehe.... true, this map suggests that some SE states are even smaller than Igala land.

how can "my Igala friend" mean insult?

Go and read the history of Igala more. They're always unassuming but , very deadly when wrongly touched. Go and as jikun people.


When I was there, they have a derogatory name they call Ibo people too to describe them and their.

laudate:

that one is for sure. We are now talking about the whole region of SE against a section of kogi state.


SE= 40,000 km2 (16,000 sq mi)

Igala land = landmass covering about 40,000 square kilometers that is centrally located in Nigeria bellow the confluence of rivers Niger and Benue.

Your post make sense, die!

pazienza:


Nobody ever denied the cultural linkage between Igala and Ndiigbo.

But tell yourself the truth, is that what this thread is all about?

Isn't it obvious that this thread is all about denigrating Ndiigbo by concocting fictitious stories where Igalas are cast as all conquering force that conquered and brought civilization to Ndiigbo?

When in truth, none of that happened.

You can imagine the magnitude of such grandiose delusion.

They are not tinkering with history to exaggerate their influence you say?
So what's the meaning of this thread ?

This thread is all about stop calling others slaves of hausa/fulani because the tribes you are calling slaves worked really hard to stop the invasion of the caliphate towards Biafra Land and that Igala helped to bring civilization from The Nok Civilization to your Land.

Igala had no civilization to offer to anyone, other than the Islamic knowledge you caliphate masters conferred your with. You can't give what you don't have.

Those who stopped Caliphate advance into Northern Igboland were the Tivs not Igalas who were soundly and truly mostly islamized.

This thread is all about delusion of grandiose and cheap popularity seeking by clinging unto Ndiigbo whose any news about sell more than Gala in a traffic.

What is it about religion with you people?Islam ,christianity or whatever religion was never mentioned when this post was created yet you keep referencing Islam and all that.Granted the Tivs stopped the advancement ,tommorow if Paul Unongo or Abubakar tsav Tiv Men speak you will start calling them a Slave of hausa/fulani forgetting Tiv saved you from being conquered. Good to know that you are aware of this fact that a northern minority saved you.Another question is Why cant you stay and compete with the Caliphate or rather Almajiris in Nigeria and use your Ndigbo swag to outdo them, why the call for Biafra and trying to chicken out ? why causing unwarranted hate and tension all over.What is the problem?What hardship are you facing that others are not facing?

Tiv did it for themselves, not for Ndiigbo. If they overwhelmed Tivs, Ndiigbo would have been forced to unite and tackle them to a stand still, Ndiigbo don't tolerate slavery /subjugation, we put up a fight against the Caucasians, even in far away Americas, the Igbo slave was never subservient, if we could do that against the Caucasians, the less advanced people like Hausa Fulani wouldn't have stood a chance subjugating Igboland.

We are not interested in competing for relevance in an irrelevant failed Third World country like Nigeria, we are not others, our actions had never been dictated by those of others, we are not going to settle for mediocrity because the rest of Nigerian groups are comfortable with that, we are never scared of standing out, herd mentality is not our forte.

Why waste effort competing for a failed third world country with groups we share next to nothing in common, when we can break out of the rat race, and channel the energy into building a prosperous developed nation of our own?

More like a less advanced with colonial British backing.

It's the British, not the less advanced that we are up against.
The less advanced can't manufacture weapons, they would have to import them all from their colonial masters. They can't win Ndiigbo in a war without colonial Caucasian influence.

British left 57 years back and you are still complaining British, you are more educated and more enlightened as you claim yet you have been
crying for years of oppression by the Almajiris. Why not accept that your game is not strong. British bequeathed a regional system to us, was it not the same you people that terminated that system and killed leaders from other regions and left yours?What was the motivation for doing that ?

Lol! Still going in circles with the Ironsi dissolved the regions cheap blackmail, when it was indeed Gowon that did. Not that it matters who did. What matters is what Ndiigbo need.

If you ever think London and recently Washington don't still have firm control on their colonial estate called Nigeria, then you are not as educated as you think.

Almajiris themselves are loyal slaves to the British, they are like their care takers of the colonial estate. They derive their power directly from London and NATO.

The British left in person, but appointed loyal stooges that run the colonial estate for them. There was never an independence.
