dreamwords: that wikepeadia did not say Igbo are an indegene, get the difference! It also mentioned the Hausa people too, but are the Hausa Indegene? But the same wikipeadia mentioned them! I bet that in your Biafra fantacy, you would like to dissociate the Benue people from the Hausa so that it will be easier to claim the place into your Biafra fantacy. All the other ethnic nationalities aside Tiv, Idoma, Igede and Etulo are all people who came from other places to make Benue their home. The same way some Igbo have made Sabongari on Kano their home and have made the whole of Lagos their home too. It does not mean that they have a hundred, Two hundred years heavy presence there. There is a Hausa quaters in Otukpo very close to the GRA or the railway, i cannot remember very much now. I know they also have the same in MKD too. These people, like the Igbo only came there to live, which is PERFECTLY OK! So when you want to talk about the modern demography of Benue, you may mention the other people like the Hausa, Igbo etc, but they are not original people. 4 Likes |

kettle84:You were kind enough to include ogun and oyo Those states are indebted and almost at the stage of bankruptcy The problem with afonjas is that they will be the first to detect any flaws in you yet they are as black as charcoal Visit their states and see the level of poverty among them Only a few of them are rich They will tell you how igbos flood to their land but they fail to understand that in ala igbo there is so many competition hence the need for us to move to their gullible land in order to exploit them I challenge any of the afonjas to move to igboland to set up a business let's see if they can survive for a day 2 Likes 1 Share |

solbil: this boy you are practically foolish. so why wasn't Yoruba, kanuri ijaw etc mentioned in the article or are there no such ethnic groups residing in Benue? the mentioned people are indigenous just like there a few indigenous igalas in anambra but they can't be given a local government of their own because of their small population. so the nation is no longer a reputable news media? may God have mercy on your soul. http://thenationonlineng.net/agony-igbos-benue/ . Being of the Igbo stock, their soul is in the Southeast, but their bodies and homes are in Benue State, in the Northcentral. That is not all. In Benue, where they are quartered, more for political considerations than for cultural reaons, they lament their lack: no roads, no water, hardly any sign of modern life. They are Igbos of the Ezza, Izzi and Effium stock. Their kith and kin are in other parts of the Southeast, particularly Ebonyi State. They claim they are not fewer than one million scattered in four local governments of Benue State. And for close to 50 years since they were excised from their kinsmen, they have been living primitive lives. Their pathetic plight is that the authorities in Benue, from the state to the local governments, have not seen them as part of the state ostensibly because they speak Igbo. On the other hand, the Ebonyi State government where they should have rightly belonged is helpless as they are not under its area of administration and authority. The people allege that since their inclusion into Benue State they have not felt any government presence. None of their people were considered for employment in any of the two tiers of government. Indeed, in their lamentation, they are not in the scheme of things as far as government business is concerned in Benue. In Nweke’s words: “The Igbos in Benue State particularly those in Ado, Oju, Obi and Okpoku LGAs of the state were in existence before the advent of Christian religion in Nigeria. The Igbo found in Benue are: Umuezeokoha, Umuezeoka, Oriuzor, Umuoghara, Amaekka and Amaezekwe all in Ezza communities, Izzi, Ezzamgbo and Effium, these are the people who would have been in present-day Ebonyi State but due for the fact that the Nigerian government then carved us into Benue in order to use our population to suppress our Eastern population. Apart from the Ezza-speaking clan, particularly the people of Umuezeokoha that has over 300 villages, if you are to calculate the number of Igbo-speaking villages, you find out that we are more than 600 villages because three of the biggest markets in our area are all in the Igbo-speaking part. The markets are as follows: Inikiri Ichari, Iddah, Iduokpe. 3 Likes |

malton:this people's attitude is something else! Anyway, i don't need to argue anymore. Find someone who knows Benue state very well and ask him if Hausa, Igbo are natives to Benue. |

solbil: Don't mind those deluded "attachee by force". They live all their lives in fantasy and futility. My village in Ogbadibo LG. shared common boundary with both Enugu state and Ebonyi state respectively and there are no indigenous Igbos in any of our bordered town. Rather they is a part of Idoma speaking tribe "Ette" which transcend between Olamaboro LG. of Kogi state and Ogbadibo LG in Benue state that was erroneously carved into Igbo-Eze north LG. in present Enugu state. 1 Like |

Aufbauh: Ah ok, they will soon come and tell you that the Ette people are Igbo. This discussion was held in another thread some time back, and people from other ethnic groups were called unprintable names, for saying the Ette community was not Igbo. |
