There are lots of misleading info out there, especially when it comes down to issues relating to traditional heritage of people. Ours is just one in a million.

What you have just narrated is the same perception alot of people, especially on this forum, have about the Igede people. Moreso because an Idoma man represents us at the Senate. They feel we are a subset of the Idoma people not knowing that we are totally different from them and more closely related to some tribes in Cross River State in terms of custom and tradition and language.

I am looking to write a comprehensive article regarding this but time is what I've not been having lately. We need to fix the misconceptions out there asap.

Good job.
Bros well done. I did my NYSC @ OJU local gvt area:To be precise , Government day secondary school oju . I am proud Fulani man from Sokoto.I enjoy my stay and also realise the difference between idoma,tiv and IGEDE .

Many friends we spend time with and also play football at the local government secretariat are also fresh and I still keep contact with some of them.

The problem is from the Igede people.... When you ask them their tribe, they simply align with Idoma. They say "Idoma"

To my utmost dismay, I found, recently that the Igede ethnic group of southern Benue was classified under the Idoma tribe on Benue map. More shocking, however, is the fact that with so much curiosity, checking for the list of Nigerian ethnic groups, Igede was also found to be missing!

Well, I'm sure Igede is not the only tribe suffering from that. At this Age, one is forced to wonder why in God's name a country as vibrant as Nigeria will still have tribes unaccounted for, shame! To make matters worse, in a State as vibrant as Benue (the last time I checked, Benue is among the top five most populous States in Nigeria, with the past Senate president hailing from there) . Igede is the 3rd largest ethnic group in Benue (after Tiv and Idoma!). The (ghost) Ibo-speaking part of the State is put into consideration, but no, not a far more populous one, SMH.

Well, fellow Nairalanders, I just pointed that out so you can understand your country, and criticize well. For those in the helms responsible for collating such data, IBB has woken your lazy ass to your job; arise and do the needful instead of relaxing in the comfort of your office, reading one Old Map and giving stupid reports from your comfort zone. Lastly, google should sack their entire information collation team.

Why berate a minority in your midst because you are fighting for your own recognition?
Is it fair?

I always feel bad for my cousin. He is not welcome in his state and he is not appreciated in his mother's state.

Nice piece!
Alot of us are in CRS, why I stated earlier we are even closer to folks in Cross River than Benue. Go to Ukele, Wanikade, Ogoja, Yahe, Ikom, etc, and you find vast communities populated by Igedes.

Ogoja is my mom's birth place. smiley

Anyway, thanks for the clarification @IgedeBushBoy. Nobody can speak for a people better than the people themselves!
