Msugh tyo cheii, ne ba nena? I am glad there is a forum like this on nairaland, so good to know one's people are represented. Have gone through all the posts and there are good, amazing and truthful ones as well as some misinformed and misguided ones as well, but I guess every ethnic group in Nigeria has a particular kind of stereotype attached to it so is not anything new. Meanwhile TIV people lets continue to mark our marks in our own little ways. Kai, I miss genge so much, though am not a fan of draw soup, also I miss nune stew. Hope you people know the nune stew that the nune is not grinded? Hope we catch more fun on this thread. |

ngusha: Am Fulani, heard many tales from the elders. I was made to understand how we came about calling the Tiv "Munchi" (meaning we have eaten). Legendary has it that "A Fulani man after gracing his cattle for sometime in the Tiv land decided to leave the cattles behind in the hands of the Tivs, and went to see his family far away in another settlement. When he came back and asked for the cattles the response from the Tiv man was "Munchi" the Fulani man joyfully believed that the "caring Host Tiv man didnot just kept the cows but that given them to other Tiv men called "Munchi" for further up keep. He kept counting his cows are with Munchi. Till today the Fulanis call the Tivs Munchi because the cows are still in his cutody. Personally had many memorable encounters with the Tivs. First around 1978 as a Federal schools student from up north going back to school down south (Port-Harcourt) had a train derailment at Makurdi. Spent 5days waiting for the train to continue the journey. In those 5 days all the trains from the North and West heading to South all arrived and waiting to proceed to South. IT was school resumption time so almost all the students (Federal schools) from North and West going back to South were at the station. These in addition to other passengers, being a student at the station for 5 days at the situation, the suffering was overwhelming. Everybody had exhausted what he had on him for sustenance, left with nothing. Then a suggestion was made, that delegates be made from each School to go and see the Governor, that was around 2pm. The delegates went and saw no one but the Gorvenor, by 5pm uncountable Luxurious Buses were at the station to convey us to different schools within Makurdi. State Schools had not resumed, but within these few hours all the required staff in those schools were there to render what ever was required. Yes this is where I will Unforgettable enumerate the hospitality of the people:- (1) A bucket full of hot water to bath, after 5 days cold water dry cleaning! (2) Steaming soft boiled yam with fresh fish, after 5 days of what ever I can afford!! (3) A bed with mattress, 5 days of sitting and sleeping on a hard bench!!! (4) (1) and (2) above repeated!!!! (5) Comfortably seated in Luxurious Buses back to each and every School down South (2 to 3 buses to about 12 schools) Good Lord I weep with joy whenever I recall this occasion.!!!!!!! Yea on the lighter mood, 2ce had room mates in the university the Tivs, at the Basic studies and the Undergraduate program, Wallahi it was not by design but but accident. At the Basic studies it was Mshurshima, I always asked her to tell me the plurals of "thief" she never agreed to tell me. At the Undergraduate level was Miss Ingah she taught me to say "kwaye ga" after Mde nena" Tivs are very hospitable and accomodative people. "Ssshhh my elders the Fulanis said we own them , |

Just stumbled upon this forum. I would like to find a long-lost relative, a Tiv man, Mr. Peter Sallah? who resided in Festac around 1984. I was very young when I last saw him but remember he was of average build, medium chocolate, wore a moustache and was around 6ft tall. I know he was married with kids but have no idea where any of them are or if they are alive at all but I would appreciate any information that I could use to contact them. |

Msugh Ne cii my Inlaws, I am an Englishman who married one of your Tiv sisters around 20 years ago and I spent 3 years in Benue state a few years back. I LOOOOOOVE TIV, I also now love Pounded Yam with egusi soup and goat, plus STAR beer followed by Fish pepper soup..mmmm my mouth is watering now!! Ok, so I just wanted to say Hi and also to point out that while I was living near to Vandeikya, I was learning Tiv language and I happened to realise that Vande and ikya were recognisable words, so I asked an elder if Vandeikya meant `before leaf`,he laughed sooo much.. I had made a good observation but translated in correctly// Vandeikya means MONKEY`s Rock on account of a troop of baboons that used to live on the small rock hill... I guess they no longer live there but just thought you may find it interesting since very few Tiv from that area seem to really realise. Anyway, I wish all my 6 million inlaws well and God Bless eh? lol 1 Like |

ne pande ver? hope i got that right? i'm tiv and proud though i can't write it well, but can speak well. |
Re: Tiv Forum by TheEvilNeo: 12:37am On Aug 07, 2013 |
Its spelt: `U pande ver?` Literally translated means `How are you reducing?` {reducing as in the day is reducing as it is an afternoon greeting. Un der ver is `Good Morning` I only speak simple Tiv although I hear much more than I can speak but on the plus side I can spell in Tiv pretty well. Not too shabby for an Oribo Inlaw!! hahaha {I was twice called a `Man` whilst I lived there for 3 years..I`m told that is quite a compliment} 1 Like |

I really wish this thread could just be resurrected. . I admire the positive accounts of those who have come in contacts with the Tivs have and it is awkward as to how some humans would choose to propagate falsehood out of a "hearsay" about a group. It doesn't just correlate with reality and a travesty of sanity it is. . To my fellows who have been here, it's a big thank you. Most of these things are indeed a motivation. |
