The aim of this work was to subject the Jukun, Yoruba, Igbo/Eri, and Benin versions of Igala origins as claimed by various previous historians and researchers to test using scientific and investigative approach. The results of the reexaminations showed that they are all found to be false as they are “unprovable” and lacking in evidence which is the basic element or property of history. As a result of the Yoruba, Jukun, Igbo versions of Igala origin not having any provable evidence, they were concluded to be false and to be discarded, while the Egyptian origin which provided enough evidences such as numerous similarities in vocabularies, similar cultures, similar burial processes of any late Attah with that of ancient Pharaoh as well as installation of any new Attah, the same royal crown of Attah with that of ancient Pharaohs, the wearing of earrings by Attah like ancient Egyptian Pharaohs as well as numerous proofs from ancient Egyptologists and Archeologists,… was concluded to be the true and provable origin of Igala people. It was also recommended that the locations of the remnants of the Igala/Galla people still at the place (Qau El Kebir formerly Tjebu, Egypt) where Igala/Gala migrated from should be investigated with a view to reconnecting with them.
