christejames:

He got it wrong by calling it a clan...

More of a cultural zone.

Yes, Chief.
The traditions of communities within the so-called Nsukka zone closely resemble, and we share the same senatorial District, and that's all there's to our relationship. But outsiders who are very cocky in their ignorance have continued to spread news of a homogeneous clan, and that's very unfortunate.

Oplomo:

Aro should be the largest, there are Igbos of Aro descent in all 8 states of the Nigerian federation where Igbos are indigenously found, Rivers, Delta and Benue inclusive, apart from the 5 SE states. Even in Nnewi, Aro people helped Otolo Nnewi people in Nnewi fight battles against their brother clans such as Uruagu and Nnewichi and some settled there many centuries ago and intermarried.

Exactly!

Ogbuefi2020:

Aro settlement is scattered all over Igboland but they are very small and can't even make one local government

You don't know what you're saying. There are Aro large community settlement in every state of the East and even rivers and delta

Igboid:

No such thing as Nsukka having Igala ancestors.
Infact it's the other way round.
Igala is an amalgam of Igbo( Which includes Nsukka), Yoruba, Hausa, Junkun and Okpoto.

Whatever so called Igala in Nsukka are actually from the Igbo part that made up Igala.

You can't really say who came from who. Ethnic blocs are formed by the fusion of various closely related sub-groups and sometimes together with foreign/neighboring immigrants that will later be assimilated.

The Nsukka people have great ancestral link with Igala and this is not something you can wish away. While it is true that Igala is mostly an amalgamation of Igbo and Yoruba, there is a great possibilities of Igala aboriginals being influenced by their neighbours, hence their links with Igbo and Yoruba.

There was a wave of Igala immigrants to Southern Nigeria from 1200-1400. Infact most Southern groups recorded Igala connection. For example, the Igalas met riverine Ijebu dwellers when they first arrived in itsekiri part of Delta state. Those immigrants were assimilated into the larger stock. Same story in Edo and northern part of Delta.

Got overwhelmed? Lol 😂

Oniovó, I don't like the way you want to push the Orogun people out of the Urhobo clan...

Orogun people are pure Urhobo's. 100%

😂 But the Urhobos don't have a single ancestral root. Some parts of Urhobo have got Ijaw ancestors too. It's normal. Even you, If you dig deep, you will realize that your people had mixture from other groups.

That was how we came into existence. There are some Ijaw clans with Urhobo ancestors but that's discussion for another day.

Orogun is 100% Urhobo.

Ogbuefi2020:

Northern Igboland have ties with Igala just like every other igbo group at the boundary have ties with their neighbors. The Igala ties is even stronger in Omanbala (northern part of Anambra state) than Nsukka

I don't know much about Omanbala but I will look into it. The Igalas closer to the Eastern fringe share ancestry with Igbos while those on the western fringe share ancestry with Yoruba.

There was an exchange at a point in time.

OnyeAshuaUru:
The region referred to Nsukka is not a clan, you re.tards.
Nsukka is just a town inside Nsukka local government area of Enugu State which notably has more than two dozen other communities.
Even majority of the other communities within Nsukka local government have zero historical connection with the town known as Nsukka, talk more of distant communities in different local government areas like Enugu Ezike, Ibagwa aka, Ubollo, Iheakpu, and so on --- all of which are erroneously referred to as Nsukka.

My Sentiments exactly
That’s the same thing happening in Imo state today,everybody from Orlu senatorial districts say they are orlu people,while orlu is just a town,my brother in-law from faraway Umuaka believes he is an orlu man,he will first tell you he is from orlu before he tell you he is from umuaka
I don’t know who introduced that concept to them

Re: Is Nsukka The Largest Clan In Igboland? by Warl0ck: 3:37pm On Mar 24, 2023

There is nothing like clan.
Nsukka is just a town

I am aware that there are large communities of Aro in Okigwe and Ideato North lga of Imo state. Also in Orumba N/S lg of Anambra state.

Anioma is the biggest clan in igboland

Re: Is Nsukka The Largest Clan In Igboland? by senatordave1(m): 4:42pm On Mar 24, 2023

Efewestern:

The Okpe and Isoko had ancestors from other sub-Urhobo group and vise Versal. Surprisingly, everyone is jumping on the Bini migratory origin whereas that's not really the case.

@bolded Sorry about, Your man was probably betrayed. Results from Isokos was shocking. But this is politics. You loose some, you gain some.

Greetings brother!

I saw it coming that is why I Insisted he return to the senate and become SP or sponsor ogboru to run again.ogboru is more popular in delta north.or he could have sponsored a stronger candidate in Lp to divide anioma votes.he should have picked his running mate from delta south...
