Na Jesse Jaggs and MI tribe we dey talk about so o! Baddest 2 niggas in Naija Hip Hop....

wow! This is interesting to know...

But... What are they doing to promote their culture. What effort are they making to sell their tribe & culture to the world.

One thing i have discovered is that it is not enough to claim to belong to this ZOO called Nigeria... It is good we tell our own stories. It is good we tell people where we come from. It is good we tell people how our people behave.

This is the only flavour that can keep us from batching each other. Though this ZOO is becoming too boring for people like me... I want to be called a BIAFRAN but for now that we all are still living inside this zoo. Let these celebrities from minority groups or tribes... Do more songs & make more movies in their language & culture.

This thread is not pulling trafic because it is not condemning any tribe or culture or batching GEJ.

Where are the JUKUNS in Nairaland... Come and talk about your tribe & culture... Do not be ashamed.

Nice insight cheers!

"Tension" was never high between Jukuns and Tiv until Lord Lugard's indirect rule system which refused to recognize the Tivs' highly decentralized system of govt placed them under the Jukun chief, Aku Uka. One part of Tiv land was placed under the emir of Lafia while the Ogoja chief was given the third. The Tivs' tireless objection to the white man's oppressive rule made them enemies of the white and their Fulani sub-colonialists whose emirate system was adopted as a model for the administration of Northern Nigeria. Before then, Tiv and Jukuns enjoyed a cordial relationship. One such demonstration of the friendly relationship between the two tribes was the help rendered to Jukuns of Abinsi in January 1906 when fighting broke out between them and Hausa traders over trading rights at the Royal Niger Company's grains collecting centre. Jukuns had the worst of the fight and called their "Tiv allies" {as reported in the Northern Nigeria Colonial records of 1906/1907} who came in their numbers and overwhelmed the traders.

...History is full of sh**t ...unfortunately many have held onto the dirty past and are marching us backward.

I served there in a village under wukari local government, so trust me, am not quick to label them.

Jukun people according to history were sharing boundary between the Idoma in Benue state and the Ndoma of Nassarawa state both in the old Benue plateau, the Jukun were homely accommodating they accommodate the Tiv who migrated migrated from Congo, gave them home,land and cattle to rear.

The Tiv people seeing the Jukun as a nice people and decided to settle down quickly having gone through violence that lead to their migration. After some years and increased in numbers, some of them find their way to Markurdi area and found the Idoma people there, they chase the Idoma people out of Markurdi and continue the chase till today. They were totally a stranger to the Idoma unlike the Jukun that knows the details about them, the Jukun nickname the Tiv as munchi meaning they ate the cattle instead of rearing them.

The Tiv people reside and dominate Benue, but the real owner of the state are the Jukun and Idoma, that is why if anything happens in that river (river Benue) its only Jukun and the Agatu people which is the Idoma people that eligible to enter the river.

I graduated from UAM, many thanks to Engnr in society. Waiting for Nairaland on Tiv and Idoma history.

Don't sit history on its head!

There were no Jukuns in Abinsi, no Jukuns or Idoma in the present Makurdi. Those areas were empty when the Tivs arrived. Some said Idoma preferred the dense forests where they could defend themselves better after the "Kwararafa tribes" quarreled and dispersed into tiny kingdoms. There is no record of any major war between Tivs and any of the tribes mentioned here during those migration days. The Jukuns of present-day Abinsi arrived when Tiv were already settled in the Benue Valley. The Abinsi and Wukari Jukuns had refused to live as subjects of the Fulani emir of Wase in the present-day Plateau state after the area fell to Fulani jihadists. Some of the Jukuns abdicated and are still there {in Wase} Those who objected to the Fulani rule moved Southward until they met the Igalas and decided to settle among them-as former Kwararafa brethren. However, things went wrong and fighting broke out between Jukuns and their Igala hosts. The battles were so hot that the Attah of Igala had to bury his most beautiful daughter, Inikpi, alive as a sacrifice to the gods for his people to win the war. Maybe the gods answered; for the Jukuns moved eastward until they met Tivs around the present Abinsi. Tivs welcome them in their midst and allowed them to settle at the bank of the River Benue {Present-day Abinsi} where they engaged themselves in fishing activities. Tiv settlements patterns reflect land fertility and water sources from, preferably, streams which offer cleaner drinking water. Therefore, the River banks were left largely empty. Any migrating fishing-group that came into areas already occupied by Tivs were allowed to settle on the River banks peacefully. That's why they have a group called "kabawa", among others, whose main trade is fishing doting the Benue bank and surrounded by Tiv villagers.

Around the present-day Wukari, Tivs were already settled and had cordial interactions with the Mumuye tribe, Kutebs and others before warriors among jukuns of Abinsi decided go to war against fulanis. It is said that the Jukuns were still angry against fulanis for destroying what was left of their Kwararafa Kingdom. Jukun legend have it that the warriors camped at the place now called Wukari overnight and left the next day but, along the way, they discovered that their chief priest had forgotten the war "Juju" at the place they slept. The priest and a few others went back to retrieve the juju but it had turned into an anthill. The priest then pronounced that the gods didn't want them to go any further. They then settled at the place and made it their spiritual headquarters. They enjoyed the friendship of surrounding Tiv villagers and exchanged visits and gifts. When fulanis warriors led by Mallam Sally of Misau later tried to overrun Wukari, it was Tivs who fought and pushed them back with their poisoned arrows.

Tiv are a curious kind of people who don't speak much for themselves, that's why some people feel free to write half-baked and "childish" history, like yours here, about them.

Lisahbeth:
please if the jukun originated from sudan does it also mean that the Ebira people may also have originated from there as well??

i actually heard the Ebira people have their origin in Jukun people

PRYCE:
kyabyenni?

tuuba

warripekin:
Agatu is Idoma. Please are the Jukun people the same as Mumuyeh people?

agatu language is more related to jukum language than idoma.

Chigold101:
thank you sir for puting me right. This is why we need people that know to help us know better... Thanks

idoma are related to jukum but agatu are more related to jukum.pls read the history of agatu u will see more detain about agatu.

Cpumping:
I served in wukari, I noe for fact dat d jukuns a warriors n dey love to fight. the tivs hate the jukuns wit passion(mayb because of a war whr d jukuns show dem shege ), they revere crocodiles(I ddnt get the whole gist, I ws told a particular croc used to com n greet the aku uka once a while n nobody dares touch or obstruct the crocs path)
they r rilly friendly but u dare not anger them, they r also traditionalist masked under d guise of 'church' people.
they always fight wit thier Muslim convert brothers. I witnessed 3 of such wars b4 nysc decided to relocate me zing, whr I meet the mumuye's. extremely nice pple. *winks winks*

every friday the croc use to come to aku uka palace to paid homage.

Jukun people are the most peaceful people you can leave with. But however, what a Jukun man does not want is disrespect and attempt to take what belongs to him. He will never touch your own and claim to take possession and also he does not want you to attempt to take his own and claim possession of it. That is what cause problem between them and those who leave with them(Visitor). A tiv or Yoruba man who have leave for ages in kano or Sokoto will not just wake up one day and said where he is leaving belong to him or that he too is entitle to become sultan or emir of kano. The revise also is that a hausa man leaving in calabar will not want to get the stool of obom of calabar. If that happened, you should expect crises. this thing happen every where in the world when a group want to take over another person's place of aboard. Egyptians push the Israelite out of Egypt, The arab took over Turkey and push the inhabitants out, Tiv people fought with visually all their neighbours because of land grabbing etc. Also note that there is the difference between religion and tribe. A Jukun man who finds peace in any of the religion and follow it does not mean that he is no longer a jukun man. Despite his religion what ever happened to his kinsmen he most stand to defend his tribe because he has no any other place apart from where God put him. A Yoruba man can never sell out his place to another person from elsewhere because they are of the same religion.
My guy please read properly the history of the Jukuns before you post a piece next time.

Why is the Jukuns always at war with their Neighbours?

This stereotyping of Tiv people, based mainly on jealousy, will not get anybody anywhere. In the end, Jukuns and others in the Benue Valley are beginning to know who are their true friends.

What stopped you from countering my "lie" with the "history book".

...migration in those days was constant. If you are a true historian you won't doubt what I said.

..."One human family"; that's what we all should be working to build.

The Jukun are peace loving and caring people.The only thing they don't tolerate is injustice and disrespect especially when its concern her traditions and core values.
