The Time for Igala Unity is Now

My beloved Igala people,

From a deep reflection, today, I do not speak to your ears alone — I speak to your conscience, to your history, and to the soul of our Kingdom.

We are a great people — rich in culture, proud in heritage, and blessed with a legacy of honor. But we must also admit a hard truth: our political strength has often been weakened by internal divisions, short-sighted ambitions, and the refusal to believe in ourselves — together.

Kwame Nkrumah once declared:

“The independence of Ghana is meaningless unless it is linked up with the total liberation of the African continent.”

Let me boldly say: The success of any one Igala person, no matter how high, means little if it is not tied to the collective liberation, dignity, and progress of the entire Igala Nation.

One man in power is not enough. One woman in office is not the solution. Our future will not be built on personalities, but on principles — shared, defended, and passed down.

Julius Nyerere also reminded Africa:

“Unity will not make us rich, but it can make it difficult for Africa and the African peoples to be disregarded and humiliated.”

Brothers and sisters, our disunity has become our greatest weakness. It is not that we lack numbers — we lack trust. We lack strategy. We lack oneness.

We cannot afford to be a kingdom where brother fights brother, where political envy drowns collective purpose, or where we celebrate the fall of our own because of party loyalty. Igala politics must evolve. It must rise above crumbs and contracts, above factions and factions of factions.

It is time to return to what made us great: our unity, our discipline, and our courage.

Let us stop building individual towers of ego and instead raise a fortress of common interest — a political system that speaks for all, not just the connected; that uplifts the poor, not just the privileged.

Let us raise leaders who serve, not rulers who exploit. Let us support candidates not because they can share money, but because they can share vision.

My people, the time for Igala unity is now.

Let us organize, not agonize. Let us stop blaming Abuja when we have not even cleaned Ankpa, Dekina, Idah, Ibaji, Omala, Bassa, Olamaboro, Ofu and Igalamela.

We owe our ancestors a debt of legacy, and we owe our children a promise of stability.

May we rise — not as scattered voices — but as a united force.
May we no longer be used — but be wise and strategic.
May we remember: when one Igala rises alone, it’s a headline.
But when all of us rise together, it becomes a movement.

Let the movement begin.
