AHEBI (Ayibi) UGBABE ANEKWU, THE FEMALE KING OF ENUGU EZIKE WHO TRIUMPHED DESPITE ALL BLACKMAILS AND HATRED
Around the early 20th century, Ahebi was crowned by Attah Igala as the King of Enugu Ezike in the present day Enugu State. Ahebi was the daughter of Anekwu Ameh from one of the ruling houses in Idah. They migrated from Idah to the place, and they are called Oma Ida (UnuIda) by others around. Other Igala towns according to their History are Umuagaidoko, Umuitodo and Umuopu. Other sections of Enugu Ezike said that they are from Benin Kingdom. Umuitodo are descendants of Itodo Aduga. Ahebi was not the only woman to be crowned by Attah as a traditional ruler. Ochonia Apeh was Onu Itobe around the same time. Even the Attah Igala after Abutu Ejeh known as Amuchi (Ebulejonu) was a female. There are others in Delta State and even in Ossamala, all of Igala root, and with the same Igala culture. But that of Ahebi was greeted by serious opposition. There were other people from other Igala Royal clans, especially males then who contested for the position but couldn't get it. Only one person can be a king at a particular time. But she was qualified and recommended by the Kingmakers, Attah Igala had to bead her. In fact, her village in Umuida is called Umuonu, which means Children of Kings, probably her or their family head was once a ruler of the community. Then supporters of some opponents resorted to name calling and Blackmail to the extent of claiming that she was a pr******te. Some even said Attah helped her through British not remembering that Attah and British were not in good terms around that time to extent of removing one Attah from the throne and even making one to commit death in 1956. They also forgot that traditional rulers around the Nsukka or that part of Enugu State and many other parts were crowned by Attah Igala then. The case of Ahebi, daughter of Anekwu Ameh was not different. Despite all the oppositions and pressures by some people telling Attah to remove her and install their person, Attah only told them to wait for their time. This, they took it that Attah was siding her (or even having an affair with her not knowing that a woman traditional ruler is now a man and will not go near any man again. They also forgot that Attah's throne is sacred and holy, and that Attah then had numerous wives, and new one is added yearly after Ocho festival) by not removing her as some groups wanted. But despite all the insults and Blackmails, she ruled gallantly and courageously until she joined the ancestors around 1948. Like Ochonia Apeh, the Onu Itobe, Ahebi Ugbabe was one of the powerful and courageous Igala traditional rulers.

EBU PEOPLE ARE IGALA TRIBE NOT EBU TRIBE
Ebu is one of the 45 indigenous Igala towns in Delta State, and the one who speak only Igala language in Delta state.
Just as we have some Igala dialects with the Igala communities at the boundaries in Kogi state such as Ibaji area, Akpanya, Ankpa, ..., Ebu has her own Igala dialect. But variation in dialect does not mean the tribe should be replaced with the name of the community or town-Ebu.
Ebu is a name of a town like Idah, Ajaka, Ibaji, Ogurugu, ... and we are all Igala tribe not Idah tribe, Ajaka tribe, Ogurugu tribe, ...
In the list of 371 tribes published by Vanguard news on May 10, 2017, while Ebu was at number 100 as a tribe, Igala was at number 164 as another tribe as if we are different people.
I hereby appeal to all our Ebu people, old and young, that we are all Igala tribe not Idah, Akpanya, Ebu or Asaba.
God bless the United Igala Kingdom.

At first, you never agreed that anyone migrated from Igala or Benin Kingdom to the east. When you saw many people in the east saying they are Igala or Benin, you now changed your topic that truly, people migrated from Igala and Benin to the east, but those people were the original people on the lands before Igala or Benin came there. My brother, the people said they are Igala, and others said they are Benin. I think you are the one who is confused. Or, mention the names of your ancestors that settled in Idah or Benin before Igala or Benin people came there, and tell me the origin of those people. If you can't, then, stop making people laugh because if truly you know History, you would have known the origin of your own ancestors.

This is Omaonyete Igala Kingdom USA, Princess Ufedo-Ojo Agula in Egypt. She is holding the symbol called Ankh. The ankh is an Egyptian symbol representing life and eternity. Historically, Ankh is the foundation of the present cross without loop again. It is good you are informed that this Ankh had been in existence before 3500 BC, and still preserved. Seeing it physically like this after I have been writing about it makes me happy. Nago Omaonyete. Ojo ki bene.

Why Attah Idakwo Ameh said Igala is the mixture of many people
One of the things about truth is that is speaks for itself. Today, there are Igala people under Yoruba classification such as those in Ondo, Oyo, Ekiti. There are some under Ijaw classification such as those in Bayelsa and Rivers. There are some under Idoma such as Otukpa, Orokam, Owukwa, Agila, etc. There are numerous under Igbo classification. In fact, over half of Igbo of today are Igala including Eri descedants as Eri was Igala man as confirmed by Meek, Boston, Idigo, etc. Beginning from Nsukka Enugu state to Anambra to Imo to Abia state have mostly Igala people. Recall that Igbo was a recent created identity used by Ajayi Crowther to combine various tribes in southeast Nigeria. They were originally called olu na Igbo but Olu later removed after Biafra wàr. In Ebonyi state, almost all are Igala while some are Idoma and Kwararafa people. That is why people don't refer Ebonyi people as Igbo. Olu are Igala people. They can even fight you if you call them Igbo even till today because they know the meaning of the name Igbo to mean servants or slàve. It originated from Benin. In the same way, it means slàve in ika, Ukwuani, Isoko LANGUAGES. That is why you can't call Ukwuani people Igbo because it's like you are insulting them. Back to the classification, some Igala people are classified as Hausa today such as Attagara people of Kebbi and Borno. Some classified as Nupe such as those descedants of Tsoede as well as the 12 men that followed him from Idah to Bida. Etc. At the occasion where various states Igala came including those in Igga Enugu state, Attah had to say that the Igala of today is now in many tribes (as stated above), and that they have formed a new Igala. It doesn't mean that Igala at the beginning was formed by different tribes because when Igala came to Idah in 500 BC, no one dreamt about the new generation tribes of today making noise on Facebook. For instance, Igbo and Yoruba as a name of tribe were created in the 20th century. If you remove Igala, Benin and Ibibio from the people called Igbo today, you will be left with no one in southeast. That was why the tracing of origin to Israel failed since 2017, and even as they fought the case till supreme Court of Israel, the same thing was told. Go back to Nigeria where you can find your origin not in Israel because we are not related in anyway, the court warned them they said. If Eri Eri and Nsukka comes to Idah and Onitsha and Enugu ezike goes to Benin, the southeast is émpty. So, Igala Kingdom of today has People in various tribes in Nigeria, and when we meet like the one Attah was interviewed at in Abuja, we become the combination of various classified tribes but same blood. 500 BC tribe can't be formed from the tribe given name by fulani or nicknamed by Benin Kingdom.

While Igala people are connecting on their own from Delta and River State to Idah, Igbo boys de suffer with camera to connect them but on top of the suffering, na insults them de received up on the suffering. Once you rejected you are rejected. No body want to come near problem Nwa Eri.

In case you didn't know, no tribe called Igbo until 20th century. It is a political merger of many tribes of different ancestry. That is why they can never have a king. All compound get his own king.

No tribe called Igbo until Benin Kingdom named their captured servants Igbon people. On seeing the name Igbon in Benin, Portuguese started calling them Igbon which later short to Igbo. Igbon means slàve in ika, Ukwuani,Benin and Isoko LANGUAGES.
