You shouldnt have been here then, bounce out of this thread.

Lol, don't be too harsh on me.

jaynom009:
can u shed more light pls

Debasement of moral values in our society today is really worrisome man and this show makes it worse

I don't like this racy/slapstick show, it is unsavoury and licentious.

What a delusional man

Typical Nigeria constabulary.

We all know that something is fundamentally wrong with Nigeria

I really appreciate ortom approach on national issues, but he should also resolve the border crisis between igede and Tiv in benue, this has lingered for too long with wanton destruction of Lives and property.

True talk, browsing is so frustrating

What is south east turning into

And the cold war rivalry continues.

Nigerian politicians have no political ideology

Viltron:
This brought back memories of last year. Was so broke that I didn't know when I started looking for help. Went to a popular church, all the pastors used me to catch cruise. Not 1 Kobo did anyone give to me. Hmm! 2020, it should never be well with you.

Sorry bro, you will bounce back

Maryjane001:
Men are the real MVPs. Life is always harder and not fair to them. As a lady, I have been in unfortunate situation and was helped because I was a female, while other men in such situations were were simply ignored or told to "face it like a man".
Even times when I would get all emotional over bad situations and cry and panic. But there they are, even in the midst of their bad situation, they still keep their head up, being optimistic, strategizing and sorting out things with a clear head.
I Thank God he made MAN.
The world is such a lovely place with them in it.
God bless all men out there

I appreciate your candor and probity, God bless you

Burruchaga71:
Igede is Biafra whether you like it or not

Lol, says who?

[quote author=kokoA post=106166669]Yes. My wife is Igede from Obi local governments in Benue state.[/quote
That's good, you must be proud of her.

Dartilo:
I read that the igede people are descendants from the ancient Benin Empire....how true is that?

Yeah so I heard bro.

The Igede trace their origin to Sabon Gida Ora in present-day Edo state. They are said to be the descendants of Agba, a high chief in Sabon Gida Ora. A skirmish between the Igede and the natives of Ora led to their migration from that region to present-day Benue state through Nsukka in Enugu state.

What do you know about Igede tribe in benue?

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

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.

He will be prosecuted here in Nigeria by our justice system

He's a great thespian

He's one of their sponsors

Naija, corruption has eaten deep into the fabric of our society

Good, meanwhile dapo abiodun is somehow a spinless governor

This El rufai is so unstable and unpredictable with his hocus Pocus
