The term "ane Igala" refers to Igalaland, which is regarded as the region where Igala is a language spoken by its inhabitants. The progenitors of the modern Igala-Mela, whose name means "the nine Igala," established the earliest settlement in the Igala kingdom. A vast unit of settlement known as the efunyi or ofigbeli was made up of two or more head steads ruled by their am'onofe -unyi, or family leaders.

Membership in these early settlements was strictly determined by agnatic kinship ties, as in the cases of Am'om'onobule, the am'ana, the in-laws, the am'adu, and the domestic slaves who were assimilated into the community on the condition that they accepted their social and political limitations in some areas.

Recently I stumbled upon the igala material customized on shoes and it was so beautiful, the colors blended well and it would look good on anyone that wears it. I didn't have the picture if not I will have share it with you but the traditional shoe will complement the clothe

The igala ashi is more durable as it is thick and also made from the same material as the Yoruba asoke. Trust me the igala clothe is one of the most durable clothe I have ever come across. It is really top notch as it can stand the test of time. Not only that. It can withstand a lot of sensitivity and even damages. It can last a lot of years before wearing out.

I will say even though it might look costly, it is really worth the cost as the durability is of high quality compare to others clothe
