  We have the British records and these claims are false:<br><br>1. Anoja Iboli, others, a military leader of Idah invaded parts of Enugu and Anambra. Mainly Enugu. Like the British, they tried to control these Igbo villages with camps and religion control but the Igbo eventually forced them out although some did not go back because by then the hausa Islam has taken over Idah.<br>2. These insignificant idah now Igala villages (camps) next to Igbo towns were camps and that is why they are an insignificant minority and are forced to speak the language of the majority like the man said.<br>3. These people talk of Idah but major igala homeland is north of Idah.<br><br>The vast majority of the people are Igbo and these idah &nbsp;Igala camps of military that did not go back after the Igbo took back control and allowed them to stay because the Igbo majority allowed them &nbsp;and some would have married into these communities. But as all Igbos know, the original land owners are favoured in each clan and so these people are trying to use their Igala ancestor to claim top position as the case during the invasion of the Nssuka area period.<br><br>The British documented these Igala invasion in the borders of Idah kingdom and Anambra and Enugu. <br><br>Igalas from Igalaland with no historical connection to Igboland &nbsp;use this old invasion to claim a vastly majority Igbo people. And use the Igbo speaker in Kogi south to muddy the history. So any Igala from north Kogi east can now come to a riverine community snd start claiming that area and land as ijaw from bayelsa do in Bonny😂?<br>We know that Idah people and Igbo were neighbours in what is now called Abaji Lga but from records Igbo may have been a majority with Idah kingdom operating there as well as other from Anioma and Anambra <br><br>The British invaded Nigeria and created control but eventually Nigerians with Igbo input remove colonisation and this has similarities to the Igala idah influence in certain Igbo communities of Enugu and Anambra.

  It is important &nbsp;to Note that during &nbsp;the Colonial &nbsp;era, lots of rivers and waterways where dredged &nbsp;for ships from England &nbsp;and Liverpool &nbsp;to &nbsp;in &nbsp; some of the inland ports like Sapele &nbsp;and Onitsha &nbsp;and Asaba.

  It is high time the Igalas united to move our people forward in times of development and education. I fell in love with Bola Ahmed Tinubu&apos;s administration for this restructuring. It is a great idea, and we Igalas will benefit from it tremendously. Igalas must unite in love for each other. Thank you.

  Ask this woman if a woman married to an lgbo or yoruba, who owns the child . The way she was saying that all lgbo land belongs to Ata lgala because lgbo men married from lgala. In Nigeria women have begun to own the man and his children.

  Where are the Ikwerre people who are claiming that they&apos;re from Benin but don&apos;t have similarities with Benin in terms of Language, Names, Food, Dressing culture and traditions<br>Meanwhile, the Ana - Igala has been in some parts of Igboland for hundreds of years but still retain their language and culture
