SlayerForever:



I'm speaking for them on good authority. As a person who has several Idoma people in my circle, well learned and exposed. I've been intimidated on the Igede issue once or twice. Suffice for me to say Igede are an integral part of the Idoma nation. The Idoma nation which is perhaps up to twice the size you know Idoma to be today.

What if I bring where they say that they are not idoma

Juliusmalema:



I am defending it already by guiding to what you should.

The energy you Edo people focus on igbos both on facebook pages and twitter is totally irritating.

Unless there is something u guys aren't telling us.

Did anybody mention Igbo here

Or your pain have fully grown

Juliusmalema:


What about this one because the whole thing looks fabricated but language and interaction defines a man's history

How major tribe are in benue

SlayerForever:


Some Nigerians are so annoyingly foolish. So so foolish. So because at a point in their history a group of people found themselves in Edo state so that means they are Edo people. Your condition is so helpless.

Yea I think you are right


So Bleep off


It's obvious that you are pained


Oga do your research and don't just jump into thread


Or you can as well post something at least please

SlayerForever:


Go sit down. Such nonsense is not new. Even some idiotic governors we know engage in that. Igede people are Idoma through and through.

Bring that of the igede people which is the topic


How I wish we have an igede man in the house

You have no right to speak for the people you only follow what they decide

Juliusmalema:


Are you not funny?

You left your history up west and be pursuing history back Niger river.

Defend your argurment with something at least I mean anything

Juliusmalema:


How do you expect me to keep watching doctored videos always shared by you edo people

So what do you have to say about this

Juliusmalema:


See themselves?

Which mirror be that?


One random video and u are typing trash

You that is saying the truth should bring your own video where their elders not some lunatics telling their origin

SlayerForever:
Igede of Benue/Cross River are all Idoma peopl
e.

Then watch how they say they are not idoma before saying what you don't understand

Juliusmalema:



We aren't deciding, they are the ones coming and also speak igbo inn their place and also answer igbo name

I know you didn't watch the video

You are just pain by the topic

Please do well to watch it

updatechange:
This igede tribe na ashawo tribe, see as Dem full everywhere... I got to know about the tribe when I traveled to ogun state papalanto area omo they're the next after yorubas...dem full everywhere reach ifo and itori

The one you are talking about is from Ekiti

But that is not the one here in Benue please take note

OVB123:

You are a lunatic for making such statement. Yoruba Nation is under Edo people.
Ondo, Ekiti and Lagos State were under Benin empire.

My brother don't argue nonsense with him concerning Yoruba

Our focus is igede and can't change the fact that igedes see themselves as Ora and their ancestor is Agba

No craze can change that

Juliusmalema:




I like edo people including etrusen and will like to see them comfortable under oduduwa or odudua as history has tied both.

E good for you

You win hope you are happy now

But you can't decide for an igede man who sees himself as ancestral Ora man and will always argue his connection to an idoma man

Juliusmalema:




Stop lying between your teeth.


Not making sense


stop lying to prove a point.

Ok I will post something If I am able to attend the burial


No time to argue shit with you

But I have said what I have seen myself

Others that have lived in ikaland will understand this not just some random guy on nairaland

Juliusmalema:




Edo is too small for all these claiming. They don't have what it takes but will be dissolved with oduduwa with time.

They are yorubas.

Funny

Armaggedon:
The Igede Community in Onitsha and Asaba recently jointly celebrated the new yam festival where they called for peaceful co-existence between the Igbo and the Igede people.
Igede is a community in Benue State that shares some common cultural activities with the Igbo.
The Igede National Day which was held at the Onitsha Military Cantonment was used to mark the new yam festival in Igede land by its sons and daughters living in Onitsha and Asaba, who came together to showcase their cultural heritage.
The immediate past President-General of Igede Development Association, Onitsha/ Asaba branch and the Ad’Uwokwu, District, Igede, Benue State, Chief Patrick Akobo, while speaking at the event called for more cooperation between the Igede residents in Anambra and Delta states and the Igbo people in the states.
He noted that Igede people and the Igbo have a lot of similarities in their cultures, tradition and even their names, which he said sound alike, urging the Igbo and the Igedes to continue to come together in building the state and Nigeria in general.
“If you see an Igede man with an Igbo man you may hardly differentiate between them except they tell you, and the interesting thing is that most of us speak Igbo fluently and are very conversant and at home with Igbo culture because of the level of our relationship with our Igbo brothers.
“We want to appeal to our Igbo brothers to continue to give us the co-operation they have been according us, so that together we will move Igbo, Igede land and Nigeria f


orward. It will interest you to know that culturally, traditionally, and in resemblance, it is difficult to differentiate the Igbo man or woman from their Igede counterpart.
“Our people in Anambra and Delta states have been very industrious, very hard working and we have relentless commitment in building the states and the country in general,” he said.
He disclosed that their people have been advised strongly not to involve in any crime, saying that was why you could hardly get any Igede man involved in any criminal activity in Anambra and Delta states, insisting that they do not have any criminal record as far as the states are concerned.
“We have code of conduct for our people called ‘Ten Commandments of the 12 Disciples’ our parents gave to us; before we leave our homes
our parents will tell us to carry it along like the Bible and you must
not go outside that Ten Commandments. So, we work with the fear that has been installed in us by our fore fathers, that is why it is very hard for an Igede man or woman to steal somebody’s property, very difficult and get away with it.
“We believe in the strength that God has given us to work and do something meaningful for ourselves and to the society, we are God-fearing, we have what we call 12 disciples and the only things from the Scripture – the Bible are what we believe.
“If the Igede man does not have money to feed himself, he will come to you not to beg for food, but to tell you please, I want to work for you so you can pay me, and that is why if you go to shoe site in Onitsha today, Igede people are 40 per cent of the people manufacturing shoe at the site.
“If you go to Onitsha Main Market, the tailoring section more than 50 per cent of Igede youths are dominating that section, we believe in hard work and committed to whatever good thing we are doing to earn a decent living, we believe in honesty in everything and that with unity, Nigeria will move forward, we have been in Anambra State and we co-operate well with the Igbo because we have almost the same name and culture.
“As you can see, we have just done our new yam festival today and one of the greatest things that happened today is the agreement for cordial relationship with our Igbo brothers and sisters who we have been living harmoniously with over the years.
“Another thing is the appreciation of our Idoma brothers, the youths of Idoma have in their unbelievably and heartwarming gesture unanimously agreed that the Senate seat being currently occupied by one of their own and our Idoma brother, Senator David Mark should go to Igede in 2019.
“We are commending them for their understanding and appealing to the incumbent Senator representing Zone C Senatorial Zone in Benue State, Chief David Mark to agree with the vision and the decision of the youths of Idoma by allowing the Igede person to succeed him.
“Igede people are the third largest tribe in Benue State, which is made up three major tribes, the Tiv, Idoma and Igede and, in fact, when you talk about the food basket of Nigeria, it is Benue State, that is the food basket of Nigeria.
“It is Igede people that are making it happen in agriculture, they are the people behind the scene producing the food that the state uses to boast of being the food basket of Nigeria, we believe in farming and education, the two things that make Igede tick in the country.”
Chief Akobo thanked the youths of Idoma for unanimously agreing that an Igede man would succeed Senator Mark in 2019.
“We have asked our elders to liaise with the Idoma elders, now the youths have agreed, we believe that everything has to do with lobby, let them see them and agree so we can move ahead; the same way our Tiv brothers should allow the governorship position to go to Zone C to our Idoma brothers.
“The seat of the governor should go to Idoma, while the Senate for Zone C should go to Igede person that is how we want political positions to be shared. We believe that our Tiv brothers will relinquish the governorship seat to our Idoma brothers.”
In his remarks, the leader of the Idoma people in Anambra State, Elder Friday Edor said he was happy to be part of celebration and expressed satisfaction with the relationship between the Igede people in Anambra and Delta states, as well as the Idoma.
He promised that they would continue to encourage the relationship,v adding that next year they would mobilize support for each other in their activities.
“We urge people at home to collaborate with each other for more development in the state.
“We will do our best to promote our culture, we have come to join our Igede brothers today in their celebration, and we have learnt a lot and we will go home and replicate same in our own culture and ask for assistance where necessary from our Igede brother.”

Igede of Benue is different from that of onitsha my dear

Watch the video and see how the igede people of Benue and Cross river on their own will came in mass to Oraekpen to trace their origin last two years

You should first ask yourself what it mean when an igede man says Igede Agba

You where quick to copy from another persons post to spit ignorance

rummmy:
Someone ran away from Benin came with his solders and colonize people staying their ,install kingship he learnt from Benin kingdom and continue rulling till date does not make everybody from the town from Benin...that is why he couldn't wipe out the name and language.....
When he came,didn't he met people there?

My friend nobody said the entire ika indegene are from Benin but the king has always been the focus

Since the king is the embodiment of his people then it's easy to said that the people are Benin

gidgiddy:


Then that means you dont speak Igbo, the Ika language is a dialect of Igbo. Nobody in Edo can understand Ika, but all Igbos understand Ika.

Oga its a capital lie

Benin understand little or more than Igbo when it comes to ika words

I have lived in obazagbon,otobaye and it environs in orhionmwon LGA

The language is a mixture of both edo words and possibly some Igbo element

The possibility for ika people to speak Benin is easier than Esan even

All ika people that have met as friend speak benin even when I was in Aliamen, boji boji owa,agbor ta and Agbobi the people understand Benin and speak it as if they have no other tongue

I will be going to Agbobi the first week of next month for the burial of my friends dad named Okoro Aiyudubie who also speak Benin

For me I think the ika people Edo blood

Well said larger Edo blood everywhere

Edo is indeed a great family

Another craziness

obaaderemi:
In Ibadan. It's a cultural project and we stumbled upon the song.

Is that one i sent to you clear or I should send it again this morning

And by the way self

Ovbi Yoruba are you using the song in Edo state or outside Edo?

Am curious

Those early talk are nothing and it is not part of the song

Have translated the chorus and the first chant

But I will send it at dawn because I translated it on a written note and snapping it will look some how and writing on keys is stressful

By 7 10 in the morning u will receive it

I can see some ignorant people saying trash instead for them to click the link and listen to the position of Midwest


Ok let my direct the topic

Ipop and Afonja cannot decide the fate of bendel

Never!

Jennycoolz:
One thing is for sure

You see EDO STATE that state can be a country of its own and they won't lack
They have it all I must be honest

They don't behave like the Yorubas , in fact it's only Benin city that you can find few people who speaks yoruba fluently not every other part of the state

Edos are business wise
Politically ok
Scammers yeah , they're top notch
They have pretty ladies you can't take that from them
They're internationally recognized whether for good or bad reasons lol
Witches and wizards
Musically good , with the likes of Rema, Dremo, Johny drille, cynthia morgan to mention a few

Now that's why they're the only state in Nigeria abi UAR with the motto





HEARTBEAT OF THE NATION
