There's marginalisation everywhere in Nigeria both at the national, state and local government levels.

The Tivs have numeric advantage over idoma and igede put together and they are not ready to relinquish power yet, the same way idoma people believe that the seat of Benue south senatorial zone is their birthright and they won't allow igede man to be senator.

The Tivs have been producing governor since 1999 and it's not fair, we want equal representation and opportunity to serve.

I appeal to the Tivs to reconsider and allow other tribes to produce governor.

I have a cordial relationship with my tiv and idoma friends and neighbours both at home and work in my state of residence, this issue of discrimination only exist more in Benue state.

We all should come together and embrace one another because outside the shores of Nigeria, nobody cares whether you are Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba or igede.
The outside world doesn't care, we carry the same image and national identity.

I think there's Something fundamentally wrong with Nigeria, say no to tribalism, nepotism and marginalisation.

We need to address the issue of marginalisation and nepotism in this country for any meaningful progress to occur, and for the sake of equity and fairness

I think its this state that always have a Governor from one particular tribe, deputy Governor from one particular tribe and Speaker of the state house of assembly from one particular tribe.

Its been so since time immemorial.

Methinks the majority ethnic group/tribe are bullies!

Let's start from the presidency, from there States, senatorial district, Federal constituency, LGA, and Wards will follow suit.

TuBaba is asking that question on the wrong platform. He should have made the post on Facebook where most politically active Benue people are found.

By the way, he's hypocritical too. The idoma are doing to us what the Tiv are doing to the entire state.

If they really wanna have this discussion, they should first allow an Igede man to become the Senator or Minister from Zone C. When this happens, then they can have the moral platform upon which to stand and make such demands for governorship.

alsudan:
The Idoma should first allow Omenkas tribe Igede to be the Zone C Senator in Benue, before demanding for Governor.

As it is, Omenka can never amount to anything in Benue politics, not even just a Senator. It’s that horrible for the fellow.

lol

Omenka's tribesmen don't cannibalize themselves. They don't kick their parents in the face to wake them from sleep. They don't run brothels where children are born and sold to highest bidders. They don't have their Kith and kin on death row in prisons across the world over narcotics related charges. They don't baptize their newborns in the rivers of HATE.

Okoro, you can now crawl back into the dingy cave wherefrom you emerged. You've got a slut to impregnate. You need the pay cheque to live another Day.

Buzu.

An Yhula TSWAR the joke is on you if you think everyone that stands for a just an Equitable Nigeria and Condemns the Maginalization of the SE must be from the region.

Might just save your political career in the future and make you my newspaper reading and Banter replying deputy like Ogiri Ajene was. So show some respect.

2baba wants to contest for Governor.

Maybe the late prime minister of Nigeria,Alhaji Tafawa Balewa cursed the idomas too according to one studid , idiotic theory from a pastor Tunde bakare

Asian Americans have never produced any president in the history of America yet they're the most successful group in America. Imagine if 2baba set up a scheme were he helped train 200 of his tribesmen through college and when they're done they also train others, most all focus be on who is governor or not?

That's true. If not for equity, the Igbos of Delta State have the numeric advantage to perpetuate themselves in the state government house.

I never knew they were this large until recently. Check out Anioma
Aniocha North
Aniocha South
Ika south
Ika North-East
Ndokwa East
Ndokwa West
Oshimili North
Oshimili South
Ukwuani
All these are Igbos and they have the highest voting strength in the state. Equity can be a good thing in every situation.

What Gov Ortom did was so unwise he made it look like only Tivs could Govern Benue he did absolutely nothing to encourage the others

And why do most of you keep quiet as you are marginalized and truamatized politically and economically, only to start shouting down the groups trying to rectify the situation? I mean the igede are quiet. They're not agitating vigorously as they should. Now an idoma man is trying to draw attention to the plight of his people and all of a sudden, you want to use the situation of the Igedes to rain on the parade of the Idomas... Is that right? Cry your cry and let him cry his cry.. It's like this everywhere in this country. Folks always trying to complain about the complainant...

Most of you won't say anything about the deplorable state of Nigeria but you are all dying inside. You hate what the fulanis are doing. You hate the way a section of the country has managed to corner everything for themselves while relegating almost everybody else to the background. But once the igbos start to agitate, you all get upset. We start hearing stuff like "are you the only ones suffering"? If you're suffering too, stand up and be counted and stop castigating those who feel that enough is enough, and started doing something..

Is 14 greater than 7? first question for tuface.

Idomas should find a politician that could tell the tivs why they need power.

Tiv will continue to be the governors because they have more local government than idoma igede etilo junkun and other smaller tribe.

Democracy no be zoning ooo

Numerically, the Idoma are disadvantaged when compared to the Tiv. Democracy is a game of number, many Nigerians are only interested in voting along tribal line even when it is obvious their candidate doesn't have the required competence.
