Following the controversial statements and counter opinions emanating from some quarters as a result of the statement averred by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Oguwunsi, that the Yoruba and Igbo have common affinity, the Attah Of Igala, His Royal Majesty Dr. Idakwo Ameh Oboni, has contributed to the ongoing discourse over Igbo-Yoruba cultural linkages by categorically stating ‘we are the same people and Ifa is the connecting link’.
However, African Sociocultural Harmony and Enlightenment Foundation has released excerpts of an upcoming documentary of paramount traditional rulers in which Attah of Igala and Ooni of Ife explain the connecting link between Original Nigerians, known as the Niger Kongo ethnolinguistic family believed to be a continuum of dialects.
Kwararafa cultural influences extend from South Kaduna to Cross River, including groups like Agatu, Chamba, Ekoi, Ham etc. It is the Origin of the Benue-Congo ethnolinguistic subfamily that spreads to East and South Africa. The Aku Uka of Wukari is the spiritual head of the confederate of original African groups that attacked and restrained the spread of Islamic Afro-asiatic imperialism.
Akinkugbe had previously stated that Igala, Yoruba and others belong to the same lineage. This linguistic group that also include Igbos, Ewe, Urhobo, Idomas, Nupe and Gwaris, known as the Volta-Niger ethnolinguistic family has recently been shown to be the oldest through genetic testing.
