PoliticsRe: What Do You Know About Igede Tribe In Benue State? by Evergreen4(m): 7:49pm On Nov 27, 2021
God1000:
The moderator should please push this to front page abeg.
I'm writing this to address some falsehood, misapprehension and misinformation out there regarding igede tribe because when you mention benue state, there's this erroneous assumption that benue comprises of Tiv and idoma only, maybe due to inadequate information about other minorities. I'm proudly an igede guy, So please read.

Let's start here, Igede tribe is located in benue with two local government areas of oju and obi with a population of nearly 1million industrious people, we have rich culture and tradition, our main occupation is farming, we grow and export all kinds of staple food such as garri, yam, rice, potatoes, cassava, millet etc and perishable food items as well.
Our cultural festival is celebrated every September with funfair.


Though We're not on a par with Tiv and idoma politically, but we have had some prominent people in the past, some igede juggernauts include
1. Ode Ojowu, Chief Economic Adviser to President Obasanjo and CEO National Planning Commission.
2. Oga Okwoche, Former Nigerian Ambassador to France.
3. Peter Okwoche, host of the BBC Focus on Africa TV news magazine programme and the former/late deputy governor of benue state chief ogiri ajene who served under governor akume between 1999-2007.
Today there's hardly any faculty or department in benue state university and federal university of agriculture Makurdi where you will not find igede prodigy occupying a prestigious position, we have uncountable professors teaching in various higher institutions across the country.
Indeed igede sons and daughters have made tremendous strides, but those remarkable feats are not enough, we will continue to aspire higher and higher because right now we produce one house of rep member which Is inequitable considering our population, we need more local governments for the sake of equity and fairness.

Tiv produces the governor and two senators from zone A and zone B while idoma and igede produce one senator from zone C, zone C senator has always been idoma.
Tiv tribe being the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria has the numeric advantage over igede and idoma, but we need to discard the born to rule mentality whether at the national or state level because it is dangerous to the concept of democracy.
The story of former American president Barack Obama and goodluck Jonathan is a testament of the government of the people, by the people and for the people, what we need are men and women of goodwill that will bring good governance, listen to the yearning and aspirations of the people and deliver dividends of democracy. Igede has such intellectuals with expertise.

Igede tribe is bigger than some sovereign/independent countries and islands in the world.
Here are some countries with little population.

1 Cape Verde 561,898
2 Maldives 543,617
3 Malta 442,784
4 Brunei 441,532
5 Belize 404,914
6 Bahamas 396,913
7 Iceland 343,353
8 Vanuatu 314,464
9 Barbados 287,711
10 Sao Tome And Principe 223,368
11 Samoa 200,149
12 Saint Lucia 184,400
13 Kiribati 121,392
14 Micronesia 116,254
15 Grenada 113,021
16 Saint Vincent And The Grenadines 111,263
17 Tonga 106,760
18 Seychelles 98,908
19 Antigua And Barbuda 98,731
20 Andorra 77,355
21 Dominica 72,167
22 Marshall Islands 59,610
23 Saint Kitts And Nevis 53,544
24 Monaco 39,511
25 Liechtenstein 38,250
26 San Marino 34,017
27 Palau 18,169
28 Tuvalu 11,931
29 Nauru 10,87

Marginalisation, intolerance and nepotism are bad practices, noisome and unholesome act, it is time to do what is right by giving everybody a chance instead of political expediency.
Igede should be given ministerial slot and other federal government appointments.

I believe igede should produce the next governor in benue state come 2023, it is very much feasible with the support of Tiv and idoma.
The current hostility between igede and Tiv which has claimed so many lives is unfortunate, we shouldn't be at variance and loggerheads because of land, not seeing eye to eye isn't what benue needs, we can't make headways with antagonism, disharmony and dissention.
I call on governor Orton to address the issue diligently.
Joseph Egbodo
