I was born and bred in the state capital, but never met one. Kindly show me one Ibo-speaking Benue indegene and we will know who's high. Just one.

IgedeBushBoy:
Kindly google the two

IgedeBushBoy:
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.

...SEE? you are suffering from abject illiteracy...you grow up in tiv land and here you are talking about idoma land...go to otukpo and cure your ignorance

This is actually a professional issue, not issues u visit random websites to find definitions.

Go online, find scholarly articles and read up the Anthropology definition of tribe n ethnic group.

It is various tribes that make up an ethnic group, they have never been same.

China has about 50 ethnic groups, Nigeria can't have over 300 ethnic groups and yet equal just 10% of the Chinese population...

Ajene okpabi was named the och idoma not just because of his closeness to ogiri oko but because the throne is rotated among the various regions that made up idoma. It was the turn of igedes.

The idomas also have people living in cross river. The iyalas are actually idomas. An idoma person can understand when an iyala person speaks to some extent.

It will be really difficult for the igedes to produce a senator for Benue south just as it will be difficult for the idomas to produce a governor.

omenka:
Shoooooo! What is this rant really about? Do I know you? Why don't you take your anger and frustration elsewhere?

You say if I like I should go and quote you further? Dude, i don't even know you exist and I doubt I've EVER quoted you especially regarding anything of this nature. Sure you aren't drunk or hallucinating?

Scram go look for your playmates abeg.

What utter nonsense.

jesus500:
You disrespectful punk, how dare you utter such demeaning words against Igede! Let's see if the statuesque will remain, what is idoma's population compared to igede? Maybe slightly higher, we have been cheated politically at both the state and federal level since the creation of the state because you idoma people are selfish and hateful, you don't want an igede man to become a senator and control you, we have woken up, we are wiser now, its just a matter of time, just watch out, I'm repulsed by your insolence.

Jonwesley:


Thank you. You know history. That is what omenka and the writer have turned to another thing. My earlier reply to omenka and his mention was also misunderstood. In the real sense I have a lot of respects for him for rising to the occasion to explain things about Benue and particularly the Idomas on this forum. Meaning he has shown he was Idoma and maybe an ardent lover of the Idomas.Hence it wld be a total denial for him to join the OP to posit that.

My grouse is why appear like a mole. I'm not in any way stopping anyone from having allegiance to his tribe or race. No, but a clandestine act and disparage for hatred of the idomas whom Omenka had defended when his real tribe came up made me write those things. Yes, there is lot out there that needs to be corrected, and political imbalance et all.

Really sincerely I'm sorry to have said some things just that those points behind the OP motivations for the write up were malignly thought out. Omenka I'm sorry by my earlier direct attack on ur mention.. I'm not a kid though and far your senior by age most likely.

Cc Omenka.
