Ngutor: It is good that the op labeled those 7 things facts and not truths. Someone once argued that that all truths are facts but not all facts are truths, but thats talk for another day.
Speaking as a tiv man I would say the op is uninformed or being mischievous. You can try to inquire from those that served (NYSC) in Benue state, perhaps they will give you a little insight of how many peoples wives they were offered to make thier 1year stay worth the while.
PLEASE we should not just write things because we have access to a device and internet, we should write to share accurate knowledge that would enlighten minds

pekelepekele: I need a TIV male friend please any

achi4u: Too disgusting!

But I don't think such traditions were still in existence.

*the fear of dreaded HIV..

Real-Mccoy:

Thanks for pointing that out. There is a huge gap between north and south and I think not understanding each other is the root of our wahala. If Nigeria should divide, what will be the faith of Christian core northerners?

the_ripper2: Never Keep an Hausa/Fulani as a friend if u are a christian during a religious or political crisis in the North, u are the first person he targets to slaughter
I also see a covert attempt by some Islamophiles to justify Muhammad sleeping with a 9yr old with their Mary was 14 or 15 ranting.
The TIV ish is somehow true, confirmed from some Idoma and Igede friends. But I think it is antediluvian now.
No 7 is a lie, it might have been engineered by the Kanuris but the Hausa and fulani abokis are actively involved now.

fellis:

I really hope the practice no longer goes on. Rumors are still going round that it hasn't stopped though.

Okiki_Oluwa: Still can't believe this TIV's crazy culture.

gidson02: No wonder they have the highest population of HIV victims in d country.

Arsenate: Southerners on average are very ignorant of the north; regardless of their level of education (I work in Lagos and my colleagues are highly educated and intelligent, too. But I always smh at their level of ignorance of anything north). I wonder what could really be the cause. Most rely on hearsays and the media (most times incorrect) for their info. Sadly, such people will avoid threads such as this in favour of those that feed their stereotyped minds.

shymexx: Nigerians and their sanctimonious stupidity and myopia - what's barbaric with the TIV ruler sharing his wife if that's their tradition Are there not swingers out there in the western world who give their wives and girlfriends to all and sundry for sex And people in open-relationships all over the world

The same pseudo-modernist clowns slagging the TIV culture are also the fools who think phaggots should be allowed to practice phaggotry - talk about freaking hypocrites!! If that's how they get down in TIV-land - let them be for crying out loud!!!

Topic:

Interesting and educative info. about the North - I don't know why, but Northerners are the coolest people in Nigeria IMO... Big ups to the North!!

holly-pagan:
well confirm muhamed married the last wife at age of 9 even she was raped before getting married to her

(5) A traditional Tiv man allows his "special" visitor or relation to make love to his wife.

logica: It may appear that this same disgusting culture was practiced in the Middle-East.

PAGAN 9JA:
^yes I agree. whats wrong with these Tiv

and i thought Adamawa has more languages. .


also the Etsu Nupe of NIger is not pure Nupe. HE is half-bred FUlani-Nupe.

The True and REAL pure Etsu Nupe RUlers, desendants of the Nupe Prince Jimada, are still fighting for their claim to the throne from Patigi, north-East of Bida and are protesting against this foreign rule.

also Saarkin Daura of Katsina State is a FUll-blooded Hausa and a descendant of BAyanjidda.
