List Of Igbo Speaking Communities In Igalaland, Kogi State. by Frankdoz8: 6:30am On Mar 12, 2020 |
A list of Igbo Speaking communities in Igalaland, Kogi State. The Igala are an ethnic group predominant in the present day Kogi State. They have physical boundaries and cultural afflictions with the Igbo, Idoma, Okun and Edo. While a whole lot is known about some Igbo-speaking communities such as the Anioma in Delta State, Ndoki, Ikwerre and Etche in Riverstate, the Umuezekaoha people of Benue State etc. outside the five Southeastern states, very little is known as the Igbo-speaking people in Igala land. As a result of the the heavy settlement of Igbo migrant farmers (19th and 20th centuries) in Igala land, one could find a handful of communities which are Igbo-speaking communities going by their names. Also, If you're acquainted with Igala language, you will find out that there's no 'Z' in their alphabet which is present in Igbo language. This equally justifies that the communities in question belong to the Igbo people. The following are the Igbo-speaking communities in Igala land. The EkeAvurugo in Ibaji LGA. They speak Igbo as their first language and Igala as their second language. 2. Ugwuebonyi, Ebokwe, Ozara, Amaeke, Amankpo, Amauwani camp, Amaokwu, Amadiefioha, Amaufulu, etc. all in Igalamela/Odolu lga of Kogi State 3. Nwajala, Umuoye, Ubulie-Umueze in Ibaji lga of Kogi state. 4. The Odolu community in Igalamela/Odolu LGA is said to speak Igala as first language and the Nsukka Igbo dialect as second language. 5. Akpanya in Igalamela/Odolu LGA. They all speak Igbo. Everyone born and bred in the town speak Igbo. 6. Onicha-Igo is a town in Ofu LGA of Kogi state 17 Likes |

Frankdoz8: Onicha Igo is not Igbo speaking... They just have that name, perhaps cos their ancestors came from Igbo land. The truth is that Igalas have been neighbors to Igbos for thousands of years and they have been serious intermixing. Many Igbo communities have Igala origins and vice versa. Most of these communities you are listing have mixed heritage, hence they are billingual. It is left for them to decide if they want to be identified as Igbos or Igalas. This is the same situation with the Ebu of Delta state and the Nzam/Olumbanasa of Anambra state. 3 Likes |

I opened a thread about how the wicked people that created the current Nigerian state maps after the civil war cut out so many peripheral igbo communities and added them to neighboring states. Some people felt that my acknowledgement of that fact was causing trouble for them. They prefered that I maintained the mainstream Nigerian lies that there are no Igbos from outside the artificially created south east. 4 Likes |

Haywhysat: Lol, why did you reply the guy. He was saying Nigeria carved out those places from Igbo, so what about the Okun guys in Kogi that speaks Yoruba as their first language that the same Nigeria carved out?. We have Dino Melaye, Smart Adeyemi, etc who are not only Yoruba by names but by their culture and they are proud to flaunt it. Much ado over things that ain’t relevant. 4 Likes 1 Share |
