1-Abia
2-Imo
3-Ebonyi
And half of Enugu State.


Igala own and are indigenous to 2 and half States in the East
1-Anambra
And half of Enugu State.

Meaning the land mass we though was “tanny” is even tinier than we think

Why not add yoruba and fulani?

Fulani are minority in every state, just less than 1.5 million people in Nigeria. The population of the smallest local government in Oyo state is bigger than all the whole Fulani people.

You are wrong. However, Ebonyi People are presently claiming they are not Igbo. If this happen, that means Igbo land will only be Abia and Imo States with half of Enugu State only.

Yes.
If I lie, come and claim any part of North and see for yourself

There is no igala in Enugu state, what we have in enugu is ldoma speaking people in Ette Igbo Eze North local government and they are not more than 30k
. They make up two electoral wards out of the 20 wards in the local government

Fulanis are majority in gombe and adamawa

And Ebonyi = igala..

There are a few Attah in Ebonyi instead of Eze/Igwe.

garfield1:

The name is Ette ward 1 and 2

Nsukka lga has no boundary with kogi state, so how can they have igala

The Three LGAs that have boundary with kogi are uzo uwani , Igbo Eze south and igbo Eze North,. The kogites that live at the boundary area with each of these LGAs speak Igbo and that is why some igbos believe there are igbos in kogi state . Only Igbo Eze North have none Igbo speaking tribe within her border and they speak idoma but bounded with kogi/igala community call ogwugwu.
Igbo is not widely spoken in ogwugwu as other kogi tonws on the border because the idoma speaking Ette of Igbo Eze North lie between the kogi igalas and the igbos.

Is lamido of adamawa not Fulani? So who dominated gombe central and north

No. The whole of Anambra and half of Enugu are Igala land. The North will soon retrieve it from whoever are based there

All the rich men in Anambra are Igala. Including Charles Soludo. Others are Igbo from Abia, Imo and some parts of Enugu. Who came to Anambra to hustle.

Na lie.
Igala own half of Enugu, Idoma own one quarter. The other one quarter belongs to Igbo.

see reasoning abeg. Adamawa is a fulani name but the inhabitants are outrightly native people. fulanis are spread across Central and Northern Gombe but there are other ethnic groups there

Una sa like wahala for this platform. The way they castigated the Chief of Naval staff was highly unfortunate.

There are no Igbos in Enugu state. All of us are remnants of the lost people from Kwara state.

Enugu and Ebonyi have suffered in the region.
Even Umahi once spoke out about the discrimination and said they will never be part of Biafria. And of course IPOB once confirmed that Ebonyi people do not behave like Igbos.

My friend from Ekiti said same thing, he has ran to ebonyi to survive. He says they are discriminating against him because of his own dialect.
