The same Wikipedia shows you different ethnic groups in benue, abi u no see am mr thomas
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benue_State

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.

you people are so full of yourselves but no results so much so that you lack courtesy in making an aguement void of insults.

your states are bankrupt and needed bail out. except Lagos ,Ogun and Oyo.
reasonable prosperous states as stated in the fake statistics should not be so broke.if you are doing well show it.

Lai Mohammed ,TINUBU and other loud mouths during GEJ tenure including Fashola are now silent after blunging Nigeria in recession by bringing the dullard. They are all fakes as Nigerians can see with empty promises and lies with out results.

I believe in proving you are good by visible evidence not tales.


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

Congratulations to Benue people. We the good people of Oduduwa land rejoice at your discovery of the blessing God bestowed on the land your ancestors bequeathed to you.

We also welcome you into the league of oil producing states just like our Lagos and Ondo. The more the merrier.

Mark my words some bad belle people, haters and association of bad wishers might tell you your oil discovery is a lie. Do not mind them, they can only feel bad there is nothing they can do to whom God has chosen to bless.

Some renowned worldwide developers will soon come around to tell you a phantom story of how they developed your land and they are the owners of your land, do not mind them too. Just know your history and no where you forefathers' land starts and ends.

Just remember i prophesied before hand that they will surely come with their doubting and cynical minds. DO not be angry with them, just pray for God to make them repent from their cursed evil ways.

bootlicker, stop celebrating others, fight for your own. Well I don't blame you, servitude and slavery is in your genes,

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!


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.

Hahahahaha, how many Barrels of oil does ur flat'head region produce? Even Ondo oil production is far higher than the whole south east oil production combined. Nigeria will not cry if landlocked barren south east leave. Our main source of oil is in the Niger delta, not Imo and Abia state.
This was what actually came to my mind while reading that guy's comment... Ondo alone surpasses all south-eastern production and Yorubas are not shouting about it

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.

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. sad
