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 IPOBS 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.

. 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.

cheruv:
The examples you gave had low capacities so no observer would've given them a chance.
The main things about superpower status are
1]multi legged economy
2]population which gives rise to powerful military and big markets
3]homogeneity in which everyone belongs to one ethnicity or in a multiplicity of ethnicities, one dominates by at least 75%.

An interplay of these factors is what gives rise to powerful state. Taking a look at the examples you gave,they're lacking in one or two or even three of these factors, especially no 1&2. Now taking a look at Biāfra as at June 1,1967,she had...
1]the third largest population in Afrika aside Nigeria and Egypt. Her population before the outbreak of hostilities was 14M
2]the fastest growing regional economy in the world according to the times report of April 1967.at the period, she contributed 35% of Nigeria's budget. Also take into note that crude oil exploration was at its infancy then as the economy of Biāfra(former Eastern Nigeria) was built on palm produce and coal
3]the Igbo made up to 70% of Biafra's population.. As at the outbreak of hostilities, the Igbo population was 9M while that of the minorities were 5M. Moreover the human resources of the Biafran state were high compared to other African states

Had the imperial powers left Biāfra alone,she'd have been the first African power

you are 100% right. Biafra was an envy of nations, a country that could had emancipated the entire black race from mental,economic and political slavery.

me na just 85k. I pray make them pay am o

you guys and your claiming of other people and territories!

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PART OF BENUE WHERE THEY SPEAK IGBO, FACT! I am sure you are refering to the Utonkon people and those people would swear that they are not Igbo. They don't even speak anything close to Igbo!

your foolishness will always find you out. stop being sentimental but strive to learn new fact. emotions are no competitors of facts

People and culture
The state is populated by several ethnic groups: Tiv, Idoma , Igede, Etulo , Abakpa, Jukun, Hausa , Igbo , Akweya and Nyifon. The Tiv are the dominant ethnic group, occupying 14 local government areas with the Etulo and Jukun , while the Idoma and Igede occupy the remaining nine local government areas.

Is akogwu not an Igbo name. Someone correct me here.

boy I have presented you with a Wikipedia source and thenationonline source. so if you must argue do that with verifiable facts and not out of sentiments or emotions

na me first break this news but the foolish mod close am. what is false about this news?

mmm has really made through their promise to be back!

TimeManager:
Not until you start by rejuvenating your ibo brothers puting leashes on your slutty daughters for rituals.
Kiss the truth!

am sorry but you land is the ritual headquarters of nigeria

wow, beauty with brain. Igbos rock!

Rotimi47:
You should be ashamed of yourself! Why is it difficult for you to read between the lines? Why do you people think only of yourself? Should Nigeria be sacrificed at the expense of the larger population for YOU and your LIKE to feel better?

I believe we all know that there is only one Nigeria not 2 and the country have a constitution which guides her leaders and citizens alike. Let me put things straight; I am not in support of Buhari nor in support of some of his policies that have brought hardship to most Nigerians, but I'm in support of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and since it has not been amended and the country is still one; I stand by it.

Futhermore, Let me state that Buhari can be challenged if he violates the constitution but we can only advice him when the decision taken by him do not go against the constitution but we feel that his decisions are not in our interest.

In conclusion, I will never support anyone that violates the constitution of Nigeria nor will I support anyone that violates the right of the common man/the citizenry.

trash......

there is no justification for your defence of buharis unpatriotism and ethnic bigotry.

Rotimi47:
What do you know about politics?many of you don't know anything about local politics not to talk of international politics and yet, you're quick to spew out trash because it makes you feel better about yourself.

shame unto you for supporting buhari in this kind of evil. why are youbpeople like this? can two wrongs make a right? this man sacrificed his countries pride for religion and ethnicity despite being the head of state of Nigeria,whom is required to defend Nigeria's interest. SHAME UNTO YOU AND YOUR LIKES
