Op I don't know how you are doing your search on google. Igede is clearly there , and clearly defined in Wikipedia as the third largest ethnic group in Benue state.

omenka:
Ajine Okpabi was a very educated man back then and found favour in the sights of the first Paramount Ruler, Ogiri Oko.

Ajine worked in a clinic in Late Ogiri Oko's hometown, Adoka, and also lived in a house provided by him.

At some point, he got married to the King's daughter but she couldn't bear him a child prompting her to suggest he married her younger sister. Given how much he was loved by the family, including the Paramount Ruler, the marriage was sealed.

Ogiri Oko went on to name Ajine Okpabi as the hair to his throne. It didn't go down too well with the council of chiefs but the "king had spoken".

That was how Ajine became the Ochi'Idoma.

He named one of his sons after the late king and his benefactor, Ogiri, who went on to become the deputy governor of Benue state.

Ajine became the Ochi'Idoma not because Igede and Idoma are the same but because Ogiri Oko personally anointed him to the throne.

With no prejudice to Idomas, culturally, we are more intertwined with the people of CRS than we are to them. But we are still brothers and share common political interests even though most of our people tend to trust the Tivs more than we do them. This is purely because they've not allowed us produce the Senator for Benue South since the inception of the Forth Republic.

Cc: Saao, Xlpacks.

Ajene okpabi was named the och idoma not just because of his closeness to ogiri oko but because the throne is rotated among the various regions that made up idoma. It was the turn of igedes.

The idomas also have people living in cross river. The iyalas are actually idomas. An idoma person can understand when an iyala person speaks to some extent.

It will be really difficult for the igedes to produce a senator for Benue south just as it will be difficult for the idomas to produce a governor.

The only thing that used to be the advantage that government job had was pension. That was before the pension act of 2004. In fact with the new pension act , private companies employees are better off because most state government and federal government parastatals don't remit their contribution. Under the pension act a small private company can also deduct and make contribution unbehalf of its management and staff.

So the advantage that government job had has gone with the wind.

Conflicts :

1. He confessed
2. He pleaded not guilty
3. He showed remorse

If he is remorseful enough then he should plead guilty.

Its open to the whole world Nigerian govt don't favour the Easternerns
Instead they kept threatening to hamper his progress
If Innoson can get at least 10%of the support they gave Dangote, the whole world will celebrate him.

It may be true, but are the state governments in the east supporting him ? Before we blame other people let's start from home first. If all Igbos and all their state governments patronise innoson, that is huge market.

Do you install this after doing the woodwork for the roofing or before . since they are fragile, won't be destroyed during the woodwork ?

Op , don't you think you disrespect God when you are in the church and prayer is going on and you are busy on your phone, on the internet?

Gentlemen and Ladies,
The rapture of the saints is about to happen.
Don't be taken unaware.

If you have not given your life to Christ, your time is running out.

Just repent of your sins and ask the lord to forgive you. Accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour today.

Don't be taken by surprise. Be warned !

Mike Bamiloye is always on point.

These generation is done for.
No body actually go back to read the secular and you are all making comments.
There is no where in the secular where the use of Facebook is banned.
The government is only warning civil servants who write frivolous comments on social media.

Hardworking woman , keep it up.

Op why did you say instead of going into prostitution as if prostitution is the only other option available to women.

There are so many other things women can do. All the vocation where men are dominant women have ventured there and did not do badly.

It is only laziness and greed that drive some women into prostitution, so that should not be an alternative at all.

Oga , one plot of land cannot be 5000 meter square.
You multiplied 100 feet by 50 feet and you got the answer in meter sq ?

I also learnt tomatoes are sold in baskets not bags.

In that community, are you sure that these pythons are not eating people ?

Is this a kindergarten class or what ?

I don't know why no body in the national Assembly is talking about impeaching Buhari.

pepemendy:
11.buhari...after 72days of unknown sickness he finally got better, but died tragically in a plane crash on is way from London to abuja in a 1997 gandalak presidential jet

You don't wish another person death. Have you heard of boomerang ?

It is easier for you to investigate from the hospital he attended in Nigeria here. He stated the names of the Doctors who attended to him here in Nigeria why don't you start your investigation from them. What is he going to gain from putting such a fake story about his own death together ?

That guy that said majority of the people who comment on nairaland are underage is right.

This thing did not begin now during Fashola's tenor. He is just explaining to you. This has been the arrangement for long. And that is how it is possible to keep using the kainji dam. If you think you can do it better, maybe when you become a minister you can change the agreement with Niger and Benin.

This is the best news i have heard from the house this year.

Ortom is a disgrace.

Hypocrisy ! Hypocrisy !! Hypocrisy !!!
You are all here condemning a white for spitting on a black woman. What of your constant hatred and hate speeches on this forum. The hatred an Igbo man have for a Hausa man (and vice versa) and the hatred of a yoruba mwan to an igbo man( and vice versa) is worse than the hatred of white to black.

Op you have not given enough information about golden melon. You need to tell us what soil type is good and what part of the country it can be grown. Where can the seeds be gotten, what is the yeild per hectare / acre, what is market price per ton.

Op. Thank God for that protection.
My only problem with your post is that you recognised you are not born again, you acknowledge the provision God has made for our salvation through Jesus Christ, and you know that the rapture will take place.

This incidence happened to you since 2015 and since then you have not made up your mind to be born again or you don't think its necessary ?

mpowa:
It's not... What a legally married man and woman decide to do with each other is acceptable before God - as long as there's no third party.

intimacy gadget is a third party.
If it is not wrong for married people to use it , then you are saying it also not wrong for singles to use it. Any sexual pleasure you receive that is not from your spouse is adultery.

This question is like : Because we are married we can do anything we like sexually. Can a christian married woman sleep with another man so long as the husband agree to it ? No
Using sex gadget or intimacy gadgets is like bringing in a third party which is clearly adultery.

Please read the news thoroughly before you comment.

I m surprised at the comments people are making. How can the senate President say the recall process is a waste of time. Such comment should not be coming from a man in that office. I think he is trying to please Dino Melaye.

Abuja standing as a country on it own ?
That will be a very miserable and poor country.

I don't like FFK. I m not his fan. If he is a minster in this government will he raise these points, probably not.

All the above did take anything from the fact that FFK made some very valid points that we should not ignore. The country is sitting on a time bomb and the earlier some of these sensitive issues are addressed the better for all of us.

This woman is lying. You don't see him as a rich person and never seen his money yet he sent you N20m in Ghana. A poor man N20m ? Yet you can afford to travel to south africa- poor man. Yet he owned that big house in magodo - Poor man.
Woman please talk true.
