From Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

The Ata Igala, His Royal Majesty Alaji Mathew Opaluwa Akpa Over the weekend warned traditonal title holders of the kingdom to desist forthwith from giving title of the land to questionable characters in the society.

His Royal Majesty said such act denigrate the reputation of the ancestral stool and is seen as a disservice to the Igala ethnic nationality.

The Ata Igala disclosed this at Idah while receiving all the Igala title holders (Onu Igala) from thirty six states, including federal capital Territory, Abuja in the country.

HRM stated “the time has come to uphold, decency, truthfulness and morality associated with Igala people in act of our doing things in the kingdom, for the goodness of the people, state and country at large.”

He therefore admonished, in strong terms all the title holders of the nation to strike cord of unity within themselves, with Igala speaking people in their domain and their neighbourhoods for a peaceful country.

Ata Igala who relive the love and bravery of the Queens of the kingdom of the old which led to the land to receive victory from the invading enemies urged the Igala of today to imbibe that virtues and secure the land with their capacity from any invading forces of disunity in any guise.

While he emphasized on the importance of unity as a great tool of development, His Royal Majesty warned those selling ancestral or family land to deviate from such bad habit that is capable to deliver crisis, hardships and disaffection within the family set up in future.

“If your ancestral parents had put the land on sale before you were born , you would not have anything to inherit as children. Think of what your grand children would stand to inherit tomorrow, if you sell the family land today“ , he said.

The event which was observed with traditonal fanfares saw to the beading of about sixteen Onu Igala for some states in the country.

Earlier, the chairman of Onuh Igala in the country, His Royal Highness Joseph told His Royal Majesty that they will strive to uphold the ethics associated with Igala ethnic nationality, with their host communities to enhance the good name of the stool.
