Anẹ Igáláà (Igala Land), also known as the Igala Kingdom,[1] was a pre-colonial West African state, located at the eastern region of the confluence of River Niger and River Benue in the Middle Belt or North-central of Nigeria.[2] The kingdom was founded by the Igala people, with the "Àtá" serving as the Igala Emperor, national father and spiritual head, and the capital of Igala land is at Idah. The Igala Kingdom influenced and has been influenced by the Idoma, and Jukun, and is likely made up of descendants of these groups who settled and mixed with the native Igala populations.
