FamilyRe: Kutep Community In Taraba Adopts N50,000 As Bride Price by jimshimfe(m): 3:25pm On Nov 11, 2011
Iyykanu, Now about the Church break away, i dont where you worship but let me give you a little of Church history.
RCCN broke from CRCN, the two broke away from EKAN which broke from EKAS which broke from TEKAN.
ECWA,COCIN,LCCN,UMCN etc all are TEKAN breaking from different places.
Before RCCG, Living Faith, Christ embassy, Latter rain, MFM etc the members including Pastor were from another Church before breaking away.
Why did RCCN break from CRCN?
simple, irreconcillable difference, in fighting, the Kuteb/Jukun dichotomy,. The fact that one tribe wanted to be the dominant and final say.
By the way CRCN is made up of Jukun, Chamba, Ichen, Ndoro, Wapan, Kpanzo etc
the Kuteb's are a very proud people who will not be ruled, stoop, bow, allowed to be controlled by another, hence instead of tolerating what the Chamba and at times Jukun ETC COLLABORATORS do to them, they opted out.

You visited and left, i am born, bred, fathered son of the soil.If you want i will give you a brief history if no one told you.Jukun is a name that covers the Kwararafa kingdom which is said to cover Jukun as a language, Kuteb, Ichen, Kpanzo, Wapan and others. so it is a larger family of languages, when you say they are majority, do you man Jukun speakers, Jukun as a tribe (whose main stay is Wukari) or are you categorising Chamba and Jukun together (2 different dialects)?
Anyway long time ago, the Kuteb in Takum which is made up of 7 Hills/Mountains (Jenuwa, Rufu, Lumbu, Lissam, kpambo, Kwambai etc) lived peaceful, then Chamba (which is TY Danjuma's Tribe) migrated to Takum and sought residence.
They were permitted to stay cos the Kuteb man loves peace, after hundreds of years, some Chamba who became influntial with Danjuma's help not started a war becos after years of the Kuteb being the ruler of Takum (Ukwe-that's the traditional title), they felt it was imperative they gain the stool too.
That is the genesis of the crisis, which led to boundry adjustment (remember i said they were more influntial, politiacally and economically) during the military (Abacha era) regime.Danjuma used his military influence to adjust the boundry which will favor the Chamba's.
The purpose of this boundry adjustment was to ensure all the villages that were Kuteb settlement was annexed to Ussa, another local Govenment of the Kuteb's.
You just came and i dont know where you got your facts but go and ask.
(1) if jukun is majority, how come the Ukwe (King) is Kuteb&has been since inception of Takum
(2) if the Jukun are majority, how come they are only found in Takum and few nearby villages
we will talk some more another day&time.By the way even Donga is not originally Chamba settlement, go find out, they are visitors who stole the kingship through political influence

please dont ever say Jukun are the majority again, this is the problem with Jos. the Hausa people claiming to be the majority and want to be made the King/Chief in Jos in addition to holding political office. Can a person who migrated to an Area, was given piece of land to settle and farm, grow so much to claim majority?
What were the other tribes doing, stopped producing children or what?
They maybe the most influncial in Government/Politics that i wont argue but anything outside that you will have to contact the National Population Commission.
The fight for control of Takum is the reason for the unending Jukun VS Kuteb feud. Mind you Jukun is not the same as Chamba, Ichen, Yukuben, Kpanzo. Unless you are ignorant to call all of them Jukun then i wll agree they are majority in Takum town not Takum  Local Government as a whole.

The name is Kuteb and not Kutep please and it is Takum local government not tatum.
50k is a big relive for the kuteb's considering the fact that until now bride price was nothing less than 150k. very rare will you marry at a cheaper rate especially an educated lady. I am kuteb and i paid 205k or more for my wife, believe me it wasn't funny.
At a point i almost opted for another tribe cos that amount can arrange a small wedding already, but than god for making the money available.
We have been yearning for this change for years and with this development, there will be lots of marriages.
The cost in the past made many guys pregnant a lady, she moves in then after many years they go to church (after serving church discipline) and marry for a little amount cos the father (lady) is desperate to save his face from shame.
SportsRe: I Am Not Responsible For Super Eagles Defeat - T.b Joshua by jimshimfe(m): 1:31pm On Oct 13, 2011
woh to you for speaking against the man of God. i wonder why some people behave the way they do, if your father had said this, would you have gone to speak so degradingly about him? what more of a vessel of God. whether you are a christian or muslim, i know we have so many fake men/women of God but allow their works or God to judge them.
whether he predicted or not, the truth is we played as if it was a friendly match or we needed just a draw in the 1st half. The 2nd half we improve our game, but played to the gallery most times in front of goal.most of all our defence line let us down.look at the friendly against Ghana, the defence struggled to keep pace
