kokoA:

Throw more light on the above please.

nanos: As long as Tiv lives, they will not, in general, support an Idoma to be the governor of Benue State. Gov G. Suswam has been nice to Idoma because his wife is an Idoma.
Akume, the Gov before Suswam practically emasculated the Idoma and set them up against one another at the flimsiest political opportunity; all in a bid to keep them divided.

The Tiv through their numerical strength, have not abdicated their interest to continue to dominate.

The point here is that the Idoma have not had a fair deal, and are not likely to have in the nearest future within Benue State as it is known today

torkaka:

what has all this crap you spew got to do with the topic? educate yourself well before you come online posting rubbish. SUSWAM'S WIFE IS YORUBA (YEMISI SUSWAM)

nanos: Alhaji Usman Abubakar versus David Mark (both Idomas)
Lawrence Onoja versus David Mark (Both Idomas)

Two deadly political conflicts that have the fingerprint of Tiv in them; a bid to cause Idoma internecine infighting that is needed to keep Tiv in power forever.

nanos:

''Educated'' man, her full name is Dooshima Yemisi Suswam? Is she really a Yoruba?

torkaka:

this man you are so daft! zone c in benue is dominated by idomas so of course it will be idomas contesting against themselves for a senate sit. are you this dull?

nanos:

You eternal ignoramus, before I engage you further, prove to me that Yemisi is a Yoruba woman. After then you can start posting your gibberish.

nanos: I have no axe to grind in Benue local politics, but no one should come here bragging that there are no problems in Benue State. I am done.

torkaka:

you have exposed yourself as one of the most dullest persons on nairaland.
the topic is talking about how benue [/b]looks more southern than northern and not local "political" rivalries between [b]tiv and idoma! you have succeded in exposing your intellectual level. no [/b]one is concerned whether [b]idoma is governor or tiv is governor.thats not what the topic is about. they're political rivalries in every state in the country! its either ogoja wanting to be governor in cross rivers or the calabar insisting on it, either itsekiri and uhrobo in delta etc. like i said earlier,i want to know your educational level cause you don't seem to comprehend when you read! what has this topic got to do with the junk you posted?

DRANOEL: @nanos
did you go through the thread before posting all you just posted? they are political rivalries in every state in nigeria,this thread wasn't talking about that. sometimes its good to enlighten yourself properly before making a fool of yourself. theres never been an ethnic clash between tiv and idoma. its just politics of appointments and positions like every other state.
did you go to school at all? go back and read the first post and don't bother us with your trash.

nanos:

In a statement of just six lines, you made near-uncountable grammatical blunders that I have highlighted for you. You are a thorough-bred illiterate. Now run along and converse with your mates.

nanos: As long as the Tiv live, they will not, in general, support an Idoma to be the governor of Benue State. Gov G. Suswam has been nice to Idoma because his wife is an Idoma.

Chyz*:


You are wrong. Suswam's wife is yoruba. Her name is Yemisi Suswam.

torkaka: oh! i am now dranoel? stupi.d fool,you should know that people use blackberries,smartphones etc. why don't you look for spellings mumu.
dude comprehension is when you read something,comprehend it and respond based on what you read! thats f9 english for you!

nanos:

Tiv versus Igede (Idoma). Page 6.

http://www.actionaid.org/sites/files/actionaid/middle_belt1.pdf

nanos: ''Igede is an [b]Idomoid [/b]language spoken in Benue State and Cross River State, Nigeria, by 250,000 people.''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igede_language

nanos: Benue is one of the states that will implode should Nigeria divide. There is ABSOLUTELY no love lost between the Tiv (land grabbers and local oppressors) and the Idoma people.

Please ask the Senate president (an Idoma) to describe the TIV for you.

Bluetooth2:

Benue people are northern because of the long time cultural affinity that has existed between the north central and the core north.When it comes to protecting the interesting of the north,you will see all of them coming together to form an alliance but when boko haram strikes,you will see them discriminating themselves.A tiv or idoma is more likely to understand hausa language and their way of life than yoruba,ijaw or ibo culture.The people of north central nigeria should better wake up and live with their destiny.Always north,forever a north.Btw,why do benue women like meat,small stout and intimacy so much ? I'm talking from experience ni o.
