Is Sanwo afraid of that small boy Gbadebo? This LP is a big distraction to Nigeria’s democracy. I watched a video of one APGA man laying curses on Obi that he’ll never achieve his aim politically for leaving APGA after taking a vow that he’ll never leave the party. I’ll be the very last person to ever trust Obi or believe he’s some sort of a messiah.

Agbado!

I thought you were some kind of sane human when you started preaching Peace and all that immediately after the election, not knowing you are nothing but a tribal brainwashed little Urchin. Spit

**They said he is a very humble and peaceful man.

**They said he is a true Christian and has the fear of God.

**They said he is a man of the people who likes the unity of Nigeria.


For peace to reign and there will be no bloodshed for the people he claims to love, PO should do the needful, call BAT and congratulate him immediately.

Do you congratulate your Robber?

This is a good choice if you ask me

Good choice!

Obi is coming.

Bad and sad situations about what is happening in southern kaduna...
THESE DAVID SEF SHA THEY ALWAYS WAIT FOR CONTROVERSY FOR HIM TO TREND, i guess tinubu issue no gv am money again, na kaduna n el-rufai he won use gt xmas n new year change..

That you don't like the Guy doesn't underscore his work. Imagine a crime of this magnitude, and nothing from either the federal or statement government.

It is only God that can help places like southern Kaduna and other northern Christian minorities if another APC government is foisted on Nigerians.

BigSarah:
Obj supported buhari, that singular act showed obj is shyt.

Vote Atiku say no to rookies and drug barons

Does this comment really made any sense to you?
Your personal Lord and saviour Atiku, also supported and campaigned for Buhari in 2015

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.

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.

Op, Igede doesn't end in Benue state. We have indigenous Igede's in cross river featuring prominently. I am from Gabu in Yala LGA of cross river state, an Igede nation. Infact the present house member representing Yala 1 constituency in cross river state house of Assembly is an Igede from Gabu. There other notable Igede speaking communities in cross river like Itekpa, Opriku, etc.

Btw, Igede's are not traitors so my Idoma friends should stop tagging us as one. We are two different tribes with similar cultures.

We are waiting for the bastards who call themselves ipob and their terrorist brothers in arms to come try to destroy it again. That day you'd be sent to meet knaus mother and father wherever it is their souls are being tormented eternally.

Hopeless SOBs.

Been following your comments for as long as I can remember but I must admit you're such a pathetic bigot.

You're so pathetic bro!

Waiting patiently to here from elders in the house

Good day Nairalanders,
I am a public servant with one of the federal government agencies in Calabar, Cross river state. As a result of my official schedules, I have lot of time for other things which I don't want to continue wasting.

I have decided to to venture into distribution of fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) because of my love for enterprise. Any organization in FMCG anywhere that wants to expand or want a presence in Cross River should please kindly contact me. Also, any one with concrete information on how to connect with such firms should please help me out.

Note: I am planning on getting a car by January to ease movement if am successful with my search. Thanks for your anticipated contributions my people.

Mods please help me move this to front page for wider audience. Contribution please
