LMAO.
Urhobo is the numero uno in Delta state. They are larger than all the other tribes in Delta combined.
Yes. Quote me anywhere.
If those guys should choose to just massively vote along co-ordinated tribal interests, let me tell you, no other ethnic group would smell governorship in Delta, ever again.

Leave that ignorant fellow. I'm would like to come to the office and defend what he is saying. Trying to claim another's state as their own because we were generous enough to allow a minority tribe rule the state. This is why some majority don't allow minority rule. Stupid talks like this comes up.

US democracy is far matured than our own

As if Nigeria is practicing democracy in the first place.

TuBaba is asking that question on the wrong platform. He should have made the post of 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 for Zone C. When this happens, then they can have the moral platform upon which to stand and make such demands for governorship.

Mtewwwwwwwww,

vinnex:
The Idoma's call themselves the effective minority.. At Federal level, they are majority. They have captured the school of Medical Sciences as their own. They have always exhibit the character of our own when given the opportunity to lead. They have a long way to go in their attitude...

You have great insight. Well said!

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.

Except that we have had an Omenka as Och'Idoma. So the sense in your narrative ends there.

Except that we have had an Igede man as Och'Idoma. We've only had two senators since the return of democracy, you then wonder how we could have rotated the position amongst all our districts.

Nigeria is not a country, its a conglomerate of different ethnic group.

Let arewa Biafra oduduwa and Niger Delta go.

Even the north have many ethnic clans Hausa is just a tribe in the north and the main language they all speak.

Ask around in nassarawa taraba and borno Kaduna Hausa are few in these states.

Then you don't know what you are writing ...

Pls tell us any monolithic country in Africa ?

Gozac:

Enugu, Abia, Akwa Ibom,Anambra, SW states,NW states are doing great too
You see Benue, Rivers,Imo no dey try at all for rotation

oga no mention imo oo..na we say make owerri and mbaise no gree live in peace

fool when you call for protect and people decided to turn up the thing that you did was to call it off just because of little threat now you want to start again no body will take you serious

Because y'all are minorities....
Same way some don't want an igbo president, now this limiting of people's right cause they're among the minority, one day we would all be part of a certain minority and be denied what we deserve

Some body like 2face should pick form and contest for the governor of Benue he has the supporters and famous in Nigeria instead of crying and beging.

Power is TAKEN not GIVEN. When the Idomas wake up, they will take that Power

God1000:
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.

It's the same law that has prohibited the igedes from becoming a senator in zone c that's applying to the idomas at the state level.

Great to hear 2face lending his voice to the injustice and exclussion in Benue state. it is very sad how The Tivs have treated minority ethnic group in the state, apart from the governorship position, serving in the benue civil service or any government Agency is a nightmare for none Tiv indigenes .
I do not think Nepotism, exclussion and injustice is as pronounced in any other state as it is in Benue.
the civil service, the legislature , the jusiciary , the accedemia and all the critical sector s of the state bear gory tales of nepotism and exclusion. and sadly this tale has contributed to retarding the state. Today Benue ranks amongst the most backward state in the Country and should we move twards true federalism, we may suffer sever consiquences as a state and as a people(idoma) particularly. the Tives have continued to dominate and mismanage the furtunes of the state while we sit and watch. i think the Age of the social media offers us the opportunity to mount pressure on them to do the right thing. we can trumpet 2faces lamentations and provide deeper insight to the Malady going on in Benue and who knows getting the by- in of fellow Nigerians will have the Tivs yeild to reason.
God bless us all

Why won't the Idomas claim the Federal uni of medical sciences as their own? When was the last time u heard an Idoma man was VC of Uni Agric or BSU? In Uni Agric, Prof Idachaba an Igala from Kogi was even VC! Its even pathetic in BSU, where at a time Prof Tsokar who was even taught by Late Prof Tony Edoh was made VC while the latter was made to deputize him. Even the Medical uni, Ortom, Gemade and Akume met Buhari so that the University would be converted to a satellite campus of Uni - Agric! U say we always exhibit the character of "our own" guess who we learnt it from? After all, Is a Tiv man not governor, Speaker, Chief Judge and SSG?

Is 2baba Idoma? If Yes, then what's stopping him from becoming Governor of his state?

Make him contest na

JONSYN7154:

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.

From your name I suspect you're from Edo State and not a Deltan, so that excuses your erroneous assertions.

First, Ndokwa East and West, and Ukwuani LGAs are all Ukwuanis/Ndokwa and not Igbos. Yes, they are in the same Delta North senatorial zone as the other LGAs you listed; but they are not Igbos.

Secondly, Delta North isn't the largest (by political strength and sheer numbers) zone. That honour goes to Delta Central senatorial zone (Urhobos) comprised of the following LGAs: Ethiope East, Ethiope West, Sapele, Okpe, Ughelli North, Ughelli South, Udu and Uvwie LGAs.

Finally, unlike Delta North and South zones which are made up of various ethnic groups/tribes, Delta Central is homogeneously Urhobo. You should know what that means in politics.

The idomas sold their birthright over a piece of meal in 1999.

The agreed that Tiv will be Governor and Idoma Ministerial nominee.

The heart of an Idoma man is desperately wicked. You guys will never be governor of Benue state. Btw you guys are deficient in numbers, tell me the magic that can make an idoma man or woman governor of the state? When an average idoma hates the Tivs.

ImmaculateJOE:

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

You guys like to derail important treads with ignorant comments.

What do you mean by 'lets start from the presidency'?

From 1999 till date, the South has done 14 years while the North is struggling with around 10 years...so what's your point, as it relates to the post?

God1000:
they are big bullies, and that's not democracy at all

Is democracy when different tribes have the opportunity to rule or when whoever rules, the interest of the entire people (irrespective of tribe) is pursued?

Democracy is gotten from two Greek words "demos" and "kratia". "Demos" means people while "kratia" means rule. Put together, democracy means "people rule" and not when ethnic groups rule. If we keep laying emphasis on ethnicity instead of the interests of the people, we
will keep recycling underdevelopment.

Has it occured to you that The interests of the people are the same irrespective of ethnicity? It's there in the constitution. But the elite (in this case tuface) keep whipping up these sentiments instead of asking for good governance. Unfortunately, the people don't no any better. Infact, the people love ethnic fights

Nigeria is a joke!

Politics is a game if numbers

qekng40:
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!

Even minorities will bully the hell out of other smaller minorities in their states and local govt where they are more populous. Eg. Tiv vs Idoma, Igala vs Ebira

I used to think that way before, that I don't care where the president comes from provided he's giving us good governance and dividends of democracy.

But we are not getting any good governance, hence the need to balance it because of some discriminatory policies and programs against certain tribes

27Pushing30:


Love the fact that you have brought this up.

Democracy is a game of numbers so the plea should not be for "TIVS" to allow you get governor.. it should be integration.

when i hear people say equity equity i realise we still play the most basic of politics - Ethnic politics which is very sad

US democracy is not a game of numbers. It's something called COLLEGE VOTES.

He should first tell us why an igede man cannot be senator of zone C in Benue State. How do you fight marginalization while marginalizing others?
