This is not peculiar to Igbo. It happens to other tribes.

Interesting!

British geopolitical zones messed up and displaced many tribes

Ogalla is not among the indegenous Igala in SE. He is pure Igbo man from Umuopu, Enugu Ezike. His name could have origin from anywhere but that doesn't matter. If he is Igala then these yorubas that bear ogala are Igala too

Okay

Ogalla is an Igbo name.... ancient Igbo name.

Full name is Ogallanya... meaning big man or wealthy /influential person. shortened form is Ogalla.

hope u got it now

e.g Ike is Ikechukwu in full

Nwike or Wike (Rivers state governor) in short for Nwaikechukwu or Wikechukwu.

Chidiebere in short form is Chidi.

some igbos makes use of the short form of their name as though it's their official name.

E.g Obi in full is Obinna.

a good example on this is Peter Obi, i.e Peter Obinna

Igbos were carved into kogi state and not the reverse.

Wiki says ebonyi and their not igalan, it notes they identity as igbo. I get ethnic identity is fluid in nigeria when 2 groups have co-existed for a long time
