Lol. As expected, a foolish Idoma bigot will surely display the inbuilt foolishness on here. Igede to the world

Nicholaspepe:


You're a Liar... Igede Ihio....

Igboid:


And why should that happen?
Omenkalives is from Igede and he doesn't stay off Igbo issues on this forum.
Why should we stay off his?

Some claim he isn't from Igede, but has any Igede person here come out to disassociate themselves from Omenkalives incessant anti Igbo behavior on this forum?
There is no rule that says that Ndiigbo must always be on defense and not on attack, is there?

For you to have this kind of well detailed knowledge shows that you are talking about your own women not Igbo.

Have you seen any Igbo man complain of the "high" bride price you are talking about before?

Only Yoruba rats do that because they want to marry the most sought after women in the world, which is Igbo Angelic Ladies but they want it to be the same price with their lower class women that worth close to nothing.
They are just like poor people dreaming of gold carriage.

All these lies about prostitution, whatever you people make up these days is to kill their ego so that they might start taking you foreigners opinion probably with a pinch salt but one thing you people don't know is that Igbo women don't care, and both the men and women rarely marry outside the nation

BTW, I wonder where you get this your high rate of unmarried Igbo women from when every thing with penis in Nigeria wants to marry an Igbo woman.
You want to marry an Igbo woman, Yoruba want to marry and Igbo woman, Ijaw want to marry an Igbo woman, Hausa sef want, every human that have penis in Nigeria want Igbo woman as wife and it is extremely rare for the men (Igbo men) to marry outside so where did you get this "High rate of unmarried Igbo women from?" is it one of your scope to beat the competition on the highly limited chance you non-Igbo have and get one?

One rare thing in an Igbo family is to have a lady living alone in the name of work. It is either she is schooling or working from either the father or relatives house.

vickydevoka:

No. Gbagi , ijaw, Nupe are larger than tiv.

Peterlawyer:

Please show us your face na, are you afraid of what people will say?

Mvena:

How do you mean?

God1000:

You have no Idea what you're talking about man.

I'm completely at sea how toxic this platform has become with firebrands making ridiculous comments about my tribe, the hatred is unwarranted and unacceptable, this single post and the negative comments I received will surely change my life regarding so many national issues, I made this thread to educate people, but some unscrupulous persons hijacked it and lunched unprecedented attacks from every angle, we all have our flaws and dark underbellies so people should stop being chilly.

This is the most hate filled thread I've ever come across on this platform and some people deserve to be banned.

This generation of our youth is even worse than the older generation that put us where we are currently. I forgive you all but I won't forget.

Racism and tribalism is the reason why there's so much chaos all over the world today, the same reason for our own civil war, rewanda genocide and the current situation in Ethiopia, all because some delusional people see others as subhumans and small fry.

God1000:

You made a very savage comment about Igede girls that they bleach a lot, that's unconsciousnable and absurd coming from a young woman like you

Mvena:

Are you an igede man? Please come to Benue state and see things yourself and Biko I didn’t mention girls

God1000:

Yes I'm 100% Igede and this is my thread, maybe you should go back to your comment and read it again.

Why so much hate on this thread?

Born2Breed:


I'm less bothered about the question from a tribe that was made relevant by rejected slaves.

How can a sane human determine the greatness of a tribe by the present population? It is not only absurd but outrightly silly.

Make useful your ass wiping hand and stop being pained that you had no name until the return of the rejected slaves.

God1000:

You need psychiatric help

omenkaLives:


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, nor a minister from Zone C.

Read and learn bro. Read and learn.

studentwriter:
you're an IPOB member from the East. so I don't see how these post concerns you.
The Igede people and the whole of Benue and it's entirety have accepted Their cultural, geographical and religious identity as Hausas, Northerners, and Muslims and you have nothing to do about it.
kiss the truth.
and please there is no such word as middle belt. it doesn't exist in Nigeria's geopolitical structure. it's either North or South and Benue is under the former as a core Northern State.
cc Pointzerom, Energingnation Bkayy and other ipob members read and get enlightened.

BIOGRAPHY OF AGABAIDU ABRAHAM AJENE OKPABI,
The second Och’Idoma of Idomaland (1960-1995)

His Royal Highness, Agabaidu Abraham Ajene Okpabi, Och’Idoma II was born in 1924 in Ito district of present day Obi Local Government Area of Benue State.

HRH, Ajene Okpabi attended Idoma Metropolitan Primary School Otukpo (now Methodist Central Primary School Otukpo) between 1932 and 1940 where his leadership qualities were first noticed and he was made Head Boy in his final year in primary school.

After leaving primary school, HRH Ajene Okpabi worked as a health worker until 1952 when at the age of 28, he was appointed the Okwubi (district head) of Ito.
With this appointment, he also became the President of the Idoma Native Authority (NA) Area Court in Ito District. His reign as Okwubi was popular with Idoma NA administration as this period was renowned for growth in tax collection, commerce and primary education within Ito district.

As a reward for his sterling leadership as Okwubi, in 1954 the Idoma NA made it possible for Ajene Okpabi to attend administrative courses and then appointed him to their Executive Council where at different times; he served as Councillor in charge of Judiciary, Prisons, Finance and Police. And in 1956, Ajene Okpabi’s political profile was further elevated when he was elected into the first Northern Nigeria House of Assembly which was set-up to prepare Northern Nigeria politically for the impending independence of Nigeria from Britain.

In 1960, Ajene Okpabi’s life was to change forever. Following the death of his father in-law, the Och’Idoma I, HRH Ogiri Oko , 22 district heads within Idoma NA met and chose Ajene Okpabi as Och’Idoma II and was officially given his staff of office by Queen Elizabeth II.

His selection as Och’Idoma was met with objections from some quarters and these objections were based on the belief that the Igedes are not Idomas and as such someone considered a “stranger” should not ascend the throne of Och’Idoma.

Despite the early challenges, the leader in Ajene Okpabi saw him overcome them and he would go on to reign for 35 years. During this time, he was awarded two national honours: the Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) and Commander of Order of Niger (CON).

His mediatory qualities was called upon during the Nigerian Civil War in the late 1960s when he was made a member of the Consultative Assembly of Leaders of Thought, a group that worked towards resolving the crisis between Nigeria and Biafra.

In 1970, the office of the Och’Idoma was upgraded to a first class chief by the then Benue Plateau State Government. This upgrade was seen by most observers as a clear indication of the prestige brought to the Och’Idoma position by Ajene Okpabi.

In 1994, just as in the 1960s, Ajene Okpabi was one of the 13 eminent people from Benue State selected to be members of the National Constitutional Conference (NCC) which was constituted by then Military Government to help resolve the political impasse created by the annulment of the June 12 1993 presidential election. While at the NCC, he continued to champion the cause of Idoma people by leading the agitation for the creation of Apa State.

Ajene Okpabi throughout his reign was a father figure to all Idoma people, providing much needed guidance in matters of Idoma tradition and always remained neutral in the different disputes in Idomaland.

Ajene Okpabi died in 1995.

CHAIRMAN1:
At Omenkalives, I've been reading through the thread quietly and waiting for someone to bring up this link! Bravo! The igedes are linked to the Obudu nation in present day Cross River that is for a fact! The progenitor of the obudu nation, Agba had several sons with Bette,Utukwang, Bekwarra, Mbube and Igede being among. I was amused when I saw a benin person claiming that Igede people migrated from ancient Benin kingdom. What a fallacy.

Visit Egypt,Saudi Arabia, Dubai and co then come here with your full chest and tell us what's your mother, sisters and nieces occupation over there.

DaCharis2016:
Despite the denials that he wasn't idoma never stopped him from becoming the Ochi'Idoma II. However, the truth is that Igede is Idoma. And Ajene Okpabi could not had become Ochi'Idoma if he wasn't Idoma.

But the problem is that it's being only Tivs becoming governors, and Idomas, senators. This should be dialogued and resolved so that any tribe in Benue State can rule rotationally.
