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.

Maghan37:
Nice piece dude.

thanks for passing by

penzino:
Lemme add that their girls are very promiscuous, serving there wasn't a small temptation.

Jukun people are loving sha if they like you.

humn... Is there any tribe in this world that are less promiscous? I dont quick label women or girls promiscous because i have traveld wide & discovered that some people are more open than others.

Well... I need to see jukun people come to this thread and rep their people

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

i search more to find out about Mumuyeh people.

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 will check within the week where Ebira orignated from... Are u Ebira?

uncle005:
Agatu is Idoma not Jukun

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

Funjosh:
OP I saw somewhere in your post you made mentioned of the Agatu people of Benue State; are they Idoma or Jukun

well all i can say is that they are neighbors & u should also know that many tribes relates but deny each other in mordern history because some wants to cave a space for themselves. So agatu should be jukun

Anyi3:
So what, if you don't have any debt. It simple means you did not do anything outstanding. The fact is outstanding infrastructure can only be covered by taking loans. He was just a plain plain governor abeg

you have lied sir. Someone can leave outstanding infrastructure without taking a single lone. If you minimise waste spending & useless partying & money sharing, you can do something meaningful without taking loan.

Take Anambra for example. Mr Peter Obi was Anambra governor for 8years without taking a single loan. He left Anambra state debt free with lots of saving for the new government to kick start with.

All the 177 communities in Anambra state are connected with good roads.

All the public secondary schools have at least 2 news structures. Some schools like QRC onitsha, CKC etc are looking like a mini university campuses.

He started 3 big utra morden shoping malls (nnewi, awka & onitsha) which Obiano is about completing.

He focused so much on foundation laying which has helped this present government of Gov Obiano to riding high.

What i am saying is that any government that mean well for his people will give them the basic things first. Lay good foundation before going into sending men to moon.

Life is all about choice & planning. Many governors inflate price of things & take loan to meet up with their useless life style.

Loan is important & it helps but it is not a must... Planning well can keep you debt free...

abduljabbar4:
He deserves that award. Buhari should give him a very good appointment. We need people like Shema regardless of their political party. No wonder he didn't campaign much for GEJ because he knows what is right. He only cares about the well being of his people.

how can he campaign for GEJ when Buhari is from that state? U dont know how notherners think. Congrats to him... He has joined the like of Mr Peter Obi in leaving a state debt free after 8years.

Though until we hear from his successor... Lets still keep our fingers crossed.

odedipapa:
Nice piece

thanks... We just have to take a little break from always talking about hausa, Igbo & yoruba and talk about other tribes that are in NIGERIA.

Anybody that knows more than i have posted here about Jukun people should also add it here...

If you know about their believe in crocodile... We also need to know it right here...

Jukun are an ethno-linguistic group or ethnic nation in West Africa. The Jukun are traditionally located in Taraba, Benue, Nasarawa, Plateau, Adamawa, and Gombe States in Nigeria and parts of northwestern Cameroon. They are descendants of the people of the Kwararafa kingdom. Most of the tribes in the north central of Nigeria trace their origin to the Jukun people and are related in one way or the other to the Jukuns. If not for the coming of both Christianity and Islam the Jukun people were traditionalists. Most of the tribes, Alago, Agatu, Rendere, Gumai in Shendam, and others left Kwararafa when it disintegrated as a result of a power tussle. The Jukuns are divided into two major groups; the Jukun Wanu and Jukun Wapa. The Jukun Wanu are fishermen residing along the banks of the river Benue and Niger where they run through Taraba state, Benue state and Nasarawa state.[citation needed] The Wukari Federation, headed by the Aku Uka of Wukari, is now the main center of the Jukun people.[2]

History
Kwararafa
The Jukun-speaking peoples trace their ancestry to the rulers of the kingdom of Kwararafa, a state which existed in Western Africa from the 14th through to the 18th centuries.

Modern history[edit]
As a result of the Fulani conquests at the beginning of the 19th century, the Jukun-speaking peoples became politically divided into various regional factions.[1] By the 1920s, the main body of the Jukun population, known as the Wapâ, resided in and around Wukari, where they were governed by the local king and his administration.[1] Other Jukun-speaking peoples living in the Benue basin, such as those of Abinsi, Awei District, Donga and Takum, remained politically separate from the Wukari government, whilst the Jukun-speakers living in Adamawa Province recognised the governorship of the Fulani Emir of Muri.[1]

In the post-colonial period, Nigeria has suffered violence which is the result of multiple ethnic tensions between the different communities living in the country. Ethnic tension exists between the Jukun and the neighbouring Tiv community.

Socio-political organisation
Monarchy[edit]
Traditionally, Jukun society was governed by a monarchy.

Studies of the Jukun[edit]
In 1931, the academic publishing company Kegan Paul, Trubner & Co. published A Sudanese Kingdom: An Ethnographic Study of the Jukun-speaking Peoples of Nigeria, a book which had been written by the Briton C.K. Meek, the Anthropological Officer stationed with the Administrative Service in Nigeria.

Jukun, a people living on the upper Benue River in Nigeria, commonly believed to be descendants of the people of Kororofa, one of the most powerful Sudanic kingdoms during the late European Middle Ages. The ruins of a great settlement to the northeast of the Jukun’s present location are thought to be those of the capital of that kingdom, but the claim has not been thoroughly investigated by archaeologists.

The population speak a language of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo family. The people comprise a congeries of many smaller groups, each organized on a different basis, although polygynous extended families seem to be the dominant unit.

The Jukun traditionally possessed a complex system of offices, which had both a political and a religious aspect; the priesthood practiced an involved form of religion marked by diurnal and annual rounds of ritual and sacrifice. The king, called Aka Uku, was—until he became a member of northern Nigeria’s house of chiefs in 1947—a typical example of a semidivine priest-king.

IyaIode:
What is the moral of this bull.shit, there are 2 factions of the group, does that make one legit than the other.

people like you are the problem of this ZOO called Nigeria.

To answer your stewpid question: what made one more legit (to use your word) more than one is that other one is that one has all wards, towns, local governments, states & diaspora chairmen with it while one has only those appointed by Ngige to decieve APCs with them.

Ndi OJO

shaboti:
Arghh.. any silly group of ppl can just spring up and can themselves 'ohanaeze'.. we dont really have an organised uniting body

no sir! We have an organised body. Just that Ngige is working very had to remain relevant in scheme of things that happen in Igboland & also in APC.
Having lost Anambra guber election to Obiano after all the noise & how he made APC chieftains to believe he is the “best man“ for the job & that every human in Anambra loves him.
He also failed woefully during the senate elections. He is trying to keep playing on the intelligence of APC big wigs.
Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo is still one & 100s of Ngige cant change that.
Am so very sure that Baba Buhari & Jagaban know verywell that all Ngige & Rochas are doing is to make sure that they are not asked to refund the mobilisation fund given to them to use during the election.

Ihuomadinihu:
Ndigbo,unu bia tinye onu n'okwu o. I have been on four different threads snice this week and am surprised that Nigerians still refer to us as IBOS. I have tried to explain the origin of this world but many of them insist on calling us Ndibo.
Look at this thread for example:
www.nairaland.com/2302279/10-beautiful-african-traditional-wedding

well i have stoped working hard trying to make people understand that we are IGBO & not IBO. U see the former military government of this ZOO has done so much wrong to us Ndi Igbo. In the constitution of this ZOO, what they refer us as is IBO.

And even our brothers that work as slave marchants at National Assembly do not consider it wise to speak against some alien ZOO keepers giving them a meaningless name... Too bad

I am tired of living inside this ZOO called NIGERIA..

Rose2014:


for every bad news from the land of rising sun, there are 10 outstanding great news from same place. No be our fault jare. Na God


Proudly Igbo

PROUDLY IGBO...

Biafra a blessed land of GOD...

Congrats to these students, to Gov Obiano & all the good people of Igboland...

Volksfuhrer:
The feud between Awo and Zik arrested the development of this country. Sad. Just sad. Every bad blood between Igbos and Yorubas could arguably be traced to these men.

lolzzzz... Keep Zik out of this story here.

If ZIK has been an Igbo the way he has been a Nigerian, BIAFRA might have been a success.

Our fathers were fighting for freedom but Zik was busy preaching ONE NIGERIA.

Zik has remained the ONLY Nigerians who never cared about HIS own people but about the whole Nigeria.

And he paid dearly for it. He died without becoming anybody in Nigeria. Though he is highly imortalised by the government of this ZOO. The truth is that aprt from street names and other things, ZIK means nothing to the avarage IGBO man. But Chukwuemeka Odumegwu is GREAT HERO... WELL RESPECTED EVEN AFTER HIS DEATH.

chiefinalowo:
All is fair during the war.
I like all what Pa Awolowo did during the civil war.
If I have my way, I will do the same thing to the same people.
I am thinking of how we will stop giving them food and land in Yorubaland.
These people are ingrate.

soon you will die the way he died. Ndi Igbo do not need to be given food or money, what we NEED is FREEDOM.

We are tiered of this ZOO. BIAFRA WANTS FREEDOM & not food.

If Awo actually said all these things OP posted. Then am glad he died a very bad DEATH.

Zonacom:
I've read Achebe's memoir and some other account of the civil war from different authors. One thing i can deduce is that the major players in the war all made several mistakes. If Awolowo claims that he stopped the passage of food to biafran civilians because of its hijack by soldiers, what then will he say about the Red cross plane that was shot down en route biafra?

humn... Good point you made here...

If actually Awo is the one that said all these things then i have to join those that claimed he died of suicide.

Why give the people you re killing food? Why did the government of this ZOO at that time sell Bakassi to Ahmadu Ahidjo of Cameroun? Is it not to stop the french government & ivory coast from sending aids to the land of Biafra.

I grew up in Cameroun, i read my civil account in cameroun & i heard things from camerounians what you will never hear in Nigeria about the civil war. If you cross over to cameroun, you will hear the attrocities committed by the government of this ZOO and how hausa solidarity made ahidjo to steal aids that were meant for the Biafrans.

What i know is that Gowon is alive & have been working hard trying to attone for his crimes against innocent Biafrans. But until he comes to the land of BIAFRA & plead for forgiveness, he might never find the peace he has been searching for through organising prayer conferences here & there.

In this interview, Awo claimed that only 3 of them knew about currency change. This is sounding funny. So the money was not minted by a minting company?

He tlked about a committee or panel set up under his ministry without him making any contribution nor appointing any of its member.... Another funny lie. How can anything happen in a ministry without the federal commissioner being a part?

It is truely obvious that this man Killed himself, only GOD KNOWS why...

kaorama:
It must have been used to procure the 1.9 million votes during the last presidential elections. What Emir Sanusi sees is missing $20b, he doesn't see missing N20b
This is just the beginning of the change.

oooo why are you talking like this? You must be very very... Make i no tlk m here...lolzzzz

This N20billion was stolen by GOODLUCK JONATHAN the day he visited Kano to commission that fly over.

So please Kwankwaso is innocent... APC governor & aids incuding commissioner can never steal. They are hole & saints like Saint Buhari...

luvmijeje:
As sensible as this writeup is, this is the part I don't agree with......... Majority of them are beneficiaries of free education so why deny the present generation what they themselves benefit from. They should focus on all other areas to do their cut saving measures.

well he said before Awo started the free education scheme he had everything worked out, but these governors do not work out things. They just embark on an unplanned journey.

Now consider this: what is the benefit of free education when there is no teacher to teach? If Osun teachers for examples stay home cos of unpaid salary, how will that benefit the pupils? I think the main thing is for these governors to develop means of increasing their IGR first, before embacking on feeding their citizens.

olu4life:
Oooh sorry my people how many factions of Ohaneze do we have?! Or it was this same set of people who listed their demands some weeks back? I'm confused here

There is no faction.... Ngige, rochas and that disgraced igwe from Abia state... just went to deceive Buhari... That is how three of them deceived him during campaign and gave him chieftaincy title...

Those fake ohanaeze that went to beg buhari are ohanaeze Ngige and Rochas formed... No true Igbo man will go beg GMB for post or position because I ma sure if election is conducted again today... Igbos will still not vote for Buhari...
Ngige and Rochas are after their own belly... they just de form Ugbo leaders...

only the places PDP won...
what about under age voters?
what about those places APC won, when will they check what the card readers have?

Nneka123:
I think everyone needs someone in life, and having a boyfriend is one of it.

All the things the op listed there is not what all you do with your boyfriend, like c'mon op! what planet are you from?

God created all of us to be relational beings... Any man or woman who is not attracted to the opposite sex has a BIG problem... boy and relationship from my own experience does not always produce sex...

but for me oh! this OP is having a sex problem... He is struggling with self control

MrOlai:
1. Fornication/Adultery is a grievous sin in the sight of God.



2. Sex unites bodies and souls of the two persons involved together, physically and spiritually.
This is why God Almighty prescribes it only for the married couples.



3. Latest Scientific Research on Telegony.
According to the new research, if a woman has sex with any man, the woman would retain some genetic traits from the man in her body and these would be transferred to her babies!


4. The presence of genetic traits of any man in a woman's body, through sex, who is never her husband is a spiritual curse and this curse could be transferred to her children.


5. Guilt and Regret.
Those who go into fornication/adultery eventually regret.



So, my people, stay off boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. It's actually a euphemism for fornication/adultery. Face your studies, pray and work hard. Then, plan and wait for your time to do the right thing - marriage. With this, you'll be highly blessed and you'll have no cause to regret on this.

Many people preach or write about their struggles...
eg... when a man talks more about how bad stealing is... it means he has issues with stealing... i mean he is a thief or struggling with "thieving."
What i am saying is that, probably you have issues with sex... I mean you struggling with controlling your sexual urge... God help.. though

keeping a girl/boy friend does not translate into sex... Experience told me this... I kept many female friends for years without any form or act of sex... you better have a rethink...

londongal03:
This is why Jega is a genus.
Wike in trouble at the tribunal

londongal03:
