Bro stop replying that guy. its a shame an adult is talking like that, I don't understand how some people think that state boundaries defines tribes and people. An Onitsha man in Anambra state is more related to an Igbuzor man in Delta state than an Umuoji man in same anambra.

I de tell you Bros onitsha people are close to those side in delta than anywhere else in anambra

The guy is just annoying I swear

sassysure:

Do u know old abs onitsha?
When I was small, I used to listen to their greeting request programme.
There is one called igala dume( I don't know if I got it right)
Then after the main news in igbo, they still broadcast news in igala.
That was the first time I heard of igala.
As I grew up, I met friends from anam and it's environs that said they have igala people as part of them.

There is always spillage when we have 2 different tribes living around boundaries.
There are few ijaw people in anambra state too.
No state in Nigeria is an island actually.
There is nothing wrong with that.
It's just that we are not matured and developed enough to see everybody as one.
Go to China, u think they have only one ethnic group or India?
They have grown above ethnicity.

Thank you very correct

Your own is even out of point, we are talking indigenous people you are talk of resident, have you ever seen anybody on NL claim that we have indigenous igbos in Kano?
If you don’t know kogi shares border with Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi so the indigenous Igbo in kogi I’m talking about are those villages in kogi that is close to Anambra but it’s in kogi, and the speak Igbo and bear Igbo names.

Pls again no igbo in kogi those people speaking Igbo are Ibaji igalas that understand Igbo as a second language they bear Igbo name due to illitracy their grand parent gave Dem before the civil war when there was so much likes for the Igbo culture amongst them and they do trading with igbos it's not as if they don't bear igala names they also do but like attaching an IGbo name to them

Bros ibaji people are not Igbo I take god beg you

Apart from the Ibaji who speak Igbo and some with Igbo heritage, we have indigenous Igbos along the borders with Kogi. The population of Igbos in Kogi state dwarfs the acclaimed Igalas in Anambra or even Enugu. If you cannot accept that they exist indigenous Igbos in kogi, then we'll tell you that they are no Igalas in Anambra.
I'm beginning to see you as mischievous with your back and front arguments. And if you want it this way, then this is your answer. 'There are no Igalas in Anambra'. Igala ends in Kogi.

I don't like mischievous people. It's a known fact that Igbos and Igala share a lot in common. Most Igala community share Igbo origin and most Igbo community share Igala origin. It's a fact that Odolu, Akpanya and Ibaji are bilingual and speak both Igbo and Igala side by side. I'm not even talking about core Igbo villages in Kogi state but Igala known communities. These people (the Igala and Igbo in the border communities) similar physic, similar cuisine, similar clothing, similar burial, similar marriage rite, similar market, similar church procession, similar dances and intermarriages existing since centuries.
The Igala kingdom in the past once conquered Igboland as far as even Nsukka before it was liberated. Had the British not removed Igala from the southern region and add it to the northern region in 1922 constitution, the Igala province would have either by now become a part of the SW, SE or SS.
So there is no way you can detach Igala from their Igbo neighbors.
It even foolhardy for one mischievous person to start asking political question such as there are no Igbos in Kogi state. If there are no Igbos in Kogi, then there are no Igalas in Anambra state. Simple!

Deadlytruth:

I guess you have not noticed the Edophobic Igbo tribal bigots who inspired in me a retaliatory hatred for Igbos, right? You are rather the one making a fool of yourself by being economical with a truth you know deep down in you. Where were you when your Igbo brothers started it all by beginning to profile Edo State people and labelling us traitors, calling them Fulanis and Yorubas of the SS, saying Edo is a SW or even NC State and all other abusive utterances just over their choice of APC government at the state level. Some of us put it before them back then that their own Rochas Okorocha was of the APC too but the hypocrites kept on bashing Edo all the same. Despite all that provocation no Edo person ever claimed that Imo state People are the Yorubas and Fulanis of the SE neither did we deride them as being part of the NC for being an APC controlled state under Rochas Okorocha..yet you expect me to be Igbo loving and even send thank you cards to those Edophobic Igbo monikers here on NL? You must be a commedian. You Igbos cannot take one tenth of the shit you throw at others effortlessly. The day you folks stop your resentment against Edo for their political choices is the day my Igbophobia will seize.
Any baby which decides that his mother will not sleep must himself stay awake to achieve that.

.

Shut the Bleep up and get off my mention with your propaganda story telling bullshit to Explain of your Tribalist trait. I've been a member of this forum for awhile and NONE of your attempt to excuse your behavior is True. In fact it was an Edo person who called himself mulattoclara who attacked, belittled and even wishing death on Igbos for not supporting your shithole APC. I was a member of this forum when the idiot non-stop opening threads on this forum attaching Igbo without any Edo opposing him. I'll be more than happy to back up my statement with links if needed. No body gives a flying Bleep about your Igbophobia. If you like bash your worthless head with hating Igbos, still wouldn't give a Bleep. I despise Edo, especially binis, as much as you despise Igbo but unlike you, I don't go making a damn fool of myself screaming Edo like a crazed hyena. All I know and we all can see is, as usual, you made a complete utter fool of yourself. Not like anybody is shocked. It's a common trait with you.

Thane:



It seems there is a misunderstanding here. Let us all calm down and try to understand these things. I don't know if you think its a abomination for there to be indigenous Igalla people in Anambra state or for there to be Igbo people in Kogi state. Like i said earlier, state boundaries or even LGA boundaries does not define people. Let us try to understand that. There are also other tribes seen in more than one states too.
I'm from Nando in Anambra East, Nando is a direct descendant of Eri (Gad). That's aside, i grew up in Onitsha, schooled in Nnewi and Awka, i have travelled and lived extensively across Igbo land both east and west of the Niger.
Nzam has the largest number of igalla people in Anambra state, their late Igwe, HRH John Ogugua was my boss in Asaba, other neighboring towns in the same Anambra West also have igalla people settled there. Some towns have just a few number of families. All these people as of today speak Igbo and Igalla fluently even though the younger generations speak less of Igalla. The history behind these settlements can be varying but we should know that basically River banks/Sea shores were the only meeting points of trade in just less than 200 yrs ago and there must be bound to be this kind of settlement.

You know these truth and you were opposing me earlier

You are correct now and said the truth

But lemme be frank with you and tell you the truth no Igbo indigene in kogi any Igbo you see in any part of kogi wether it's the one close to the border is just there for farming n fishing and business they never claimed they are indigene am telling you I know plenty of them that ran to settle in my village when the time of aguleri n umuleri clash till date they are there and one of my late uncle married one Igbo lady when she was young till now she speaks igala like ehnnn

They have six children grown ups and she still Igbo but she is now part of us as family

Pls abeg the people bearing Igbo name are Ibaji people you are mistakenly for igbos and ibaji are igalas hahhaa lemme burst your brain my grandfather had Igbo names and some of my far uncle also had Igbo name but as time went on they stop bearing the name because of identity sake

Because they know they adopted the name long ago themselves

Just for records sake. There are many Igalas of Hausa origin. E.g Angwa town in Ankpa LGA are descended from Hausa settlers. You can even see that the name is a hausa name.

Deadlytruth:


So it takes a mod to say something for that thing to be true. The said mod once erroneously claimed in another thread that no part of Edo State is a hilly terrain and hence exposed his ignorance about the state he so speaks of with authority.
Unfortunately you have not given any specific citation or instance of the similarities you allege between Edo and Yorubas, yet you claim eyes can see them.

I have rather pointed specific examples of similarities between Yorubas and you Igbos.
In all his Yoruba irredentism Awolowo the most knowledgeable Yoruba man to ever walk on earth surface, never targeted anywhere in the present Edo State because his personal reserch visits made it clear to him that there is really no cultural or linguistic affinity between Edo and Yorubas. The only place he targeted is the Itsekiri enclave whom he helped install/impose their Olu as the Paramount ruler of Warri hence the intractible Warri crisis. But it continues to beat common sense why you Igbos focus on Edo in your search for Yorubaness but abandon Delta with the obviously Yoruboid Itsekiris and Olukunmis. How doesn't this prove clearly that it is all aimed at political blackmail?

The bearing of Yoruba names in Edo doesn't make them Yorubas any more than their bearing of Nupe names like Damisa, Daniyan, Attah, Dirisu, Daudu, Mayaki, etc. make them Nupes. All these are just due to cross-cultural interferences through trade or war and conquests.
Yorubas too do bear such Nupe names, and it doesn't make them Nupes.
Igbos never really had interactions with many other tribes prior to colonization hence the less frequency of adoption of names of other tribes.

Many Edos are actually of Nupe origin, especially from the Afemai axis. Nupes were the ones who brought islam to Edo state by conquering the Etsakos. They were defeated by Bini/Esan combination, hence the spread of islam ended at Agbede. Many were captured as slaves. This was the way nupe names came to Edo.

Maybe a bit more, but you're right! Part of our problem as blacks (especially in Nigeria) is nobody wants to be under anyone else...they all want to be autonomous so any benefits derived by virtue of being a ethnic group will come directly to them or as close to them as possible!

I laugh when i watch the news on the Niger Delta, and they talk of King so-so-and-so of one tiny tinpot kingdom like that! And coming to Igboland (SE, etc), you normally here of stupid, tiny 'autonomous communities'!

Hahaha, don't blame blacks too much. Same things is happening in Europe. Catalonians and to an extent Galicians and Andalusians reject Spanish identity, cause they feel it belongs to Castillians who dominate everything and not them. Portuguese pulled out long ago. What abt the Basque seperatists of France?

Yugoslavians are actually one people who speak the same language. But they fought a bloody war and divided. Their divisions were always based on religion. Serbs were orthodox christian, Croatians were catholics while Bosnians were muslims. Today they are different countries.
How about Czech & Slovakia?
How about Germany, Switzerland & Austria?
How about Denmark, Sweden & Norway?
There are more!

Europeans fought many wars centuries ago to actually unite their tribes under one countries/empires, otherwise, they are also just like us.

You are blaming the Niger deltans? Abeg, them dey try. Their tribes are even big enough. Come to the middlebelt/ North-east and see diversity.

In my LGA in Plateau state, there are 5 distinct ethic groups. There are LGAs in Southern Kaduna, Plateau, Taraba, Southern Borno e.t.c where you find 10 different tribes in one single LGA. The only thing is that everyone speaks Hausa as a lingua franca (2nd language), that is why our differences look obscured to you southernerns.

You Eggons were formerly part of Plateau state and this list was created before 1996.

Besides I don't see why Eggons are so proud of this their Nasarawa. A state where they can never be governors even as the majority tribe and are treated as trash. Eggons made their biggest mistake agitating to leave Plateau state. An eggon man had a better chance of being a governor in Plateau than Nasarawa where Hausa fulanis are taking over.
