I've you forgotten igalas are indigenous to Anambra state

No, I have not forgotten. There is no doubt certain folks took refugee in Igbo land due to the rumbles in the north central areas of today's Nigeria.

Sammy07:

The same way the Igbos are the autochtonous people of Kogi state. The Igala during their sojourn from Okun hills met the Igbos who gave them shelter to settle. This is why till today, Igbo blood flows in the veins of people from Odolu/Igalamela down to Ibaji. Had the Attah Igala not ask to be joined with north, would you know the difference between them and Ndigbo?

OfoIgbo:


On the contrary

I think it makes sense to tell the Yorubas, how they came about.

I will say something in Igbo, so you can now jili ile gi guo eze gi onu

Ofo kpaa ike, a gwaya osisi esiri pi ya.

Because na
Agwo emero nke ojili bulu agwo, umuazi (ndi ofe mmanu) ewelu ya kebe nku.

I don't have your time, would have counter you in my dialect too but prove whatever you guys dey say there. Which igbo and Yoruba relationship

UdechiHD:
Trash! Igbos were the ancestors of Igodomingido. The Oguso were an offshoot of the Igbo people who began the empire before the rise of the Bini’s. All the Kings of Igodomingodo had Igbo bloodline, from Igodo than to the last Ogiso.

They have peddled a lie for so long it's starting to seem like truth, igodomigodo is an Igbo phrase, meaning the key knows its key literally or the key knows its padlock in figurative terms....igodo meaning key in Igbo language

Yea, Igala people remains the only tribe One can easily mistake for Igbos from physical appearance

lol even igalas were the earliest offshoots of Yorubas reason why their language is 70% Yoruba. You can't understand igala language while I can

Obalatule:
I laugh when people say Igbos don't know about their history without realising how ancient the Igbo culture and their language is

This why we must begin to promote more archelogical findings and unbiased historical account. Igbo may even be the father of a lot ethnic groups forming lord at us. Our language, culture and artifacts are all ancient, compared to others with fraudulent historical account. I will even suggest we throw the historical account of Isichie, Onwujeogwu to the dustbin, because a lot this accounts are not well grounded but by hearsay. If only a lot of people are aware that Igodomingodo was Igbo true and true, many of us will stop this fraudulent Benin bullcrap.

Sammy07:


Stop saying nonsense Abeq.
Anyone can make claims, and he said that to boost you guys Ego during your festival or so, their is nothing like Igbo in Yoruba land, if there is prove it here let me read it

I guess you know the connotation of "Ooni" in Yari.ba. Neither Oduduwa nor Akanbi was Oba. It was Obatala that gave rise to the so-called Obaship in Yari.ba land.

Sammy07:

Of course you know better than The Ooni of ife himself, you even know his intentions and why he says the things he says, For you information this was a press release he did and he still insists on it till today

Don't mind his ignorance, He knows more than the Ooni, it really isn't easy for a Yoruba king to go beyond sentiments and acknowledge facts......Igbos are too ancient it's a glaring fact

Sammy07:

Igala are Akpotu Yoruba’s from present Okun hills who left their homeland to settle in Igboland. The coming of the Benin throne in Idah is what made the Igala grow in height and later the Jukuns who came through the River Benue and expanded into Igboland. In a nutshell, Igala have no true culture because there are a conquered tribe. However, what is now Igalaland was once Igboland in time past. The Igbo origin of the Ibaji and Odolu/Igalamela is a pointer to this fact. Because both still speak the Igbo language and still practice the Igbo culture.

lol yes I know better than Ooni, yet you guys didn't agree with Ikewerrepikin when he said they're from Benin. He even showed videos of benin king visiting Wike

Sammy07:

As states earlier by ofoigbo, Oduduwa may mean Onye Oduduwa or their leader....other schools of thought have it that ododuwa is actually a corruption of the word Lastborn in Igbo which is Odudu nwa

Sammy07:

Sorry, I thought you're Igbo.

But I hope you have learnt something with regards to the Yoruba origin and the real meaning of ODUDUWA

Sammy07:

if you didn't know Igbos and igalas intermingled and intermarried then you really should leave this thread, there are still complete Igbo towns in odolu and igalamela LGAs as of today

Sammy07:

I do not give a ratass about Oduduwa the womanizer. You really do not want me to open up on Oduduwa and Akanbi .

Read my edited write up. Present Igala is a fusion of the following people. Their culture is a blend of the below groups. However, the central Igala language is similar to what is spoken in Okun land, but you'll find regional languages in the below areas.

1. Akpotu (who speak related language as Yorubas)
2. Igbo (those from Ibaji/Odolu/Igalamela)
3. Benin (those from Idah)
4. Jukun (Ancestors of the present Attah as well as those mutually intelligible language as the Idoma from Ofu etc)
5. Hausa (The mecenaries who helped defeat the Jukuns and settled in Dekina)

Sammy07:

Nobody is arguing where ikwerre is from,....it is absolutely plausible that ikwerre is from Bini, they may be descendants of NRI priests and emissaries that left Bini

Onitsha people and the Anioma of delta fall into this category too.

Their typical characteristics is that they know they came from Bini but they posses Igbo culture and language which they can't explain

Sammy07:

lol, you can't offer any meaning of Oduduwa in Yoruba language, just like you can't explain the name "Yoruba" itself
