      Igala is the major tribe in Kogi state while Idah is one of the local governments in Kogi state. Hope this helps

      Igala is the tribe spoken by the people of the Igala Kingdom. Idah is the epicentre (positive use, ie) of the Igala Kingdom; from here, the Paramount Ruler, The Attah of Igala who is seated on his throne within his palace, rules the affairs of the kingdom.
