Predicted and much anticipated, there is also recent confirmation that the find in Borno, at Gajigana, is of commercial quantity (photo below); awaiting also Sokoto and Niger State to follow, soon some ppl will be calling themselves parasites.
Congratulations to Benue State.

Which oil? propaganda everywhere even in oil. Anyway, since una Don find oil make una dey go una own na.

i don't so much patience for those who've got low self esteem. You only feel good about yourself if you can claim other people, what a shame!

I still repeat it that anyone who knows the Igbo village in Benue should point it out, failure to do that means you IPOB are just a bunch of deluded people, fact!

People and culture
The state is populated by several ethnic groups: Tiv, Idoma , Igede, Etulo , Abakpa, Jukun, Hausa , Igbo , Akweya and Nyifon. The Tiv are the dominant ethnic group, occupying 14 local government areas with the Etulo and Jukun , while the Idoma and Igede occupy the remaining nine local government areas.

isn't it a onder that me, a foolish person as you call me, can think better than you, a 'wise' person?

The Only people NATIVE TO benue among those you mentioned are the Tiv, Etilo, Idoma and Igede, PERIOD! The Jukun only live in that area because they are people with a close cultural connection to rivers and anywater body. They are also good swimmers. The like of Igbo and Hausa are only living in Benue, never indegenes.

Yes, there is a Hausa quaters in Otukpo and i think MKD too, but they have them there as settlers, pure and simple! The Igbo presence in Benue is not different from the Igbo presence in Oyo, Ekiti, Sokoto and J'bourg, fact!

I still ask the same question again: WHAT LG IN BENUE ARE THE IGBO AND THE HAUSA INDEGENOUS TO? IF YOU CANNOT ANSWER IT, THEN SHAME UNTO YOU! YOU Igbos NEED TO GROW SOME SORT OF SELF ESTEEM AND BECOME MORE CONFIDENT IN YOUR OWN SKIN AND IN YOUR OWN 41000sqkm. YOU DON'T HAVE TO OWN THIS WORLD TO BE A GREAT MAN, SO STOP CLAIMING WHATS NOT YOURS!

And next time, you should provide a more credible link to back up your point, not some hungry website which clearly confirms against your assertion that there are 14 LGs to the Tiv and 9LGs to Idoma and Igede. Out of those 9LGs in zone C, Obi and Oju are for the Igede.

Benue has 23LGs. If 14 goes to the Tiv and Etilo and 9 goes to Idoma and Igede, then tell me which other LG is left for your ficticious IPOB to claim!

I no get time for children.

my dear, you are the child!

Over 300 Igbo villages in Benue? Who gave you that shiiiit to eat? I doubt any LG on Zone C has as much as 300 LGs, stop with your lies already! Do you know what 300 LGs is, that the so called Indegenes do not pull a political weight? The Utonkon people in Ado/Igumale are just a ward, yet they have a kind of represemtation at the LG leve, talkless of a mythical Igbo Indegens occupying a ficticious 300villages? Why don't you just stop the lies already!

Just because you read something on the internet doesn't make it true! Ask anyone who knows Benue state very well, and he will tell you THAT THERE ARE NO IGBO INDEGENOUS TO BENUE STATE, GET IT INTO YOUR THICK SKULL!

Benue state, like every other state in nigeria is open to any nigerian to come and live happily and have a family. But that's no excuse to falsify history and original demographics.

You are a fraud!

cheruv:

Its not particularly encouraging to see misinformed folks barge in and throw tantrums like I seized their candy
You didn't tell us about the ones you asked when you were in the university.. Or are you still in secondary school?

my dear, the IPOB attitude is getting annoying already! Like i said: Benue like every other state in Nigeria is for all Nigerians to go and live and have families and even claim, have the right to vote elected officials of the state and LG and also have the right to be voted for. It is just the deliberate falsification of history and demographics that i just do not like, i mean, what is that for!

Igbos are welcome to come and live, work and do what ever they feel like, but why falsify history and original demographics?

The Idoma people are a distinct people, pure and simple! They have SOME similarities with Igbo, but that doesn't mean a thing further than the two people being neighbours! Igbos are not the only ones with whom the Idoma share words and names, are they? The Idoma also share words and names with the Hausa people too! If you people insist on claiming Idoma, what then do you want the Igala to do? I bet you don't know the two of them Idoma and Igala are almost like Brothers!

You guys should stop that attitude of yours, falsifying history everywhere. You tried it with the Yoruba, and now Idoma. Calm down!

And as for the class mates, that was way back in sec school.

EXPERTS VISIT OIL WELLS SITE AT OKWUJI AGAIN.

The Sole Administrator of Apa Local Government Council Chief Hon. Solomon Oche Danjuma received experts again from Abuja to ascertain the quantity of oil deposits at the site.

After thorough investigation, the engineers discovered that the oil deposits is of commercial quantity but they will still go to Abuja to come back with more experts to open the sealed abandoned oil wells.

A villager Mr Francis Akogwu who worked with the oil company narrated that oil was truly discovered in the place in the 1960s but the whites left because of the civil war that broke out then.

Mr Akogwu said the whites drilled as deep as 14,000ft before they discovered the oil deposits, he also said the whites told them as at that time that the oil deposits is very large and of commercial quantity as it extends to Asaba in Ojantele/Akpete ward, extends to Okpoo in Ikobi Ward and also extends to the large palm trees orchard between Ankpali and Ebugodo in Edikwu Ward II all of Apa Local Government Council.

The villager also gave the name of the oil company as FOREX OIL DRILLING COMPANY and was able to remember the names of two whites then as Raphael and Rusell while over all man was Mr Tu Pusser who always visited them with helicopter.

On his part, the Sole Administrator of Apa LG Chief Hon Solomon Oche Danjuma thanked the experts for always honouring his invitation and also informed them that he always ready to support and meet their demands to ensure the exploration of oil in Apa LG, he charged the host community to always guide the site as no one is permitted to visit the site except they receive instruction from the Council.

i wonder what the IPOB obsession is with the Idoma people. Is it because they share Christian and catholic heritage with you that you want to claim them by force? Mind you, not all Idoma are Christians. Those from Apa and Agatu and also Onyangede are mainly Muslims. What do you say about that?

I wonder why you are not laying claims to the Igala too as you do the Idoma. Is it because they have a larger proportion of muslims among them? If your land were close to those people in Taraba, you would have claimed them too?

I really wonder what gives these Igbos here the hope that Benue people see themselves as one with the Igbo.

When it came to Political affiliation at the last election, did they identify with the SE and SS candidate? You guys in IPOB should just use your heads!

that that name is similar to Igbo name does not mean Idoma people are Igbo and can be part of Biafra. I am sure you also saw a Danjuma there too.

and you didn't even care to tell us what local govt the mythical etenyi people are. And that word does not even sound Igbo to me, i may be wrong anyway.

There are only 4 indegemous people to Benue state. They are: the Tiv, Idoma Igede and Etulo with the Etulo people almost completely absorbed by the Tiv. I can disect the demographics of Benue people like this yet, some people believe i have no idea of the place!

In this thread, while some people mentioned only Ado, i was the only one that mentioned what it is sometimes known as in full, Ado-Igumale. I know this, yet some people still think i don't know zone C in Benue state.
