You mean, Yorubas helped to kick Fulani jihadists out of Kogi area? Yorubas helped Igala and Egbira to chase Fulanis away yet same Yorubas couldn't help their own people in Kwara? Today, Kwara is under emirate authority.

What an irony😂😂

There you go... Wish others saw your motives in creating this useless thread.

Politics is a game of numbers and have the most population in kogi state. The ebiras are second and the Okuns are third. Igalas have always produced the governors in Kogi and Bello, an ebira man would never have become governor if it wasnt for the death of Audu.

The Okuns are the second largest tribe in Kogi but closely followed by the Ebiras. Igalas are the largest

Okun and Ebiras are almost equal while Igalas are a summation of the two tribes

SOSinNigeria:
Something funny is happening in Kogi state. This state has three major ethnic groups i.e. Ebiras, Igalas and Okuns (Yorubas). But sadly, since the creation of the state, only the Igalas and Ebiras have been ruling back to back. No Okun/Yoruba has ever ruled Kogi state since its creation.

In Delta State, there are three major ethnic groups i.e. Urhobos, Anioma/Igbos and Itshekiri. All of them have ruled accordingly. In Rivers State, both the Igboid upland areas and the Ijoid riverine areas have ruled.

So, why is Kogi state different? Even Dino Melaye, an Okun man who contested under PDP was disgraced. A major opposition party like PDP performed so woefully that ordinary SDP candidate almost won against APC.

SDP candidate was Igala.
APC candidate was Ebira.
PDP candidate was Okun/Yoruba.

Yet the contest was between SDP Igala and APC Ebira. Why are the Okuns maltreated in Kogi state?

To start with, you are a toddler when it comes to politics, your knowledge of the States you mentioned exposed your level of political awareness.
Now listen, since the creation on kogi state, the Igala's had been rulling until God intervene in 2015 when Yahaya, from Ebira became the governor, the election of Ododo who is to succeed Yahaya is the clear confirmation that other tribe in Kogi state can actually occupy the Lugard's house and that is why you see that much celebration.
On the Okuns, any reasonable politician would understand that they to do serious collaboration to produce a governor but unfortunately Dino has worsen the existing relationship with this his PDP madness. Their closest ally is the Ebiras but Dino's approach almost messed up the effort by the Ebiras to establish the fact that anyone from any part of the state can be governor. However the majority good people of Okun refused to follow Dino's step.
Hopefully one day, sooner than we expected, one of their sons will be governor.
On River state, go back and get your fact right, the Ikwere people have been enjoying the government house more than others

The population of Christian in Kogi is not large. Maybe 20%

It is at least 40%
20% is just Propaganda to keep them from power

More than 95% of Kogi Yorubas are Christians and they are more than 20% of Kogi at least
And they are not the only Christians in Kogi

Didn't you see all that was done just to keep
James Faleke out of Power?

Because politics is a unity game
And the yorubas don’t have the numbers that’s why they have to merge
But after the government of usman Ododo
Know that it’s the turn of the yorubas

The Igalas are taking charge after Ododo. We all know that. We don't have the numbers in Kogi.

The Okuns are the only people you will find a significant population of Christians in Kogi. Kogi West is larger than Okunland because even the state capital is under Kogi West but it is populated by indigenius Muslims.

The entire Kogi central is just a sprinkling of Christians and same can be said of Kogi East.

Both Igala and Egbira have Christians
The Igala even had notable Christian Missionaries

Yes but not significant.

I have seen an Igbo Muslim, But they are not high in population as compared to their Christian counterparts

I have seen a Katsina indigene who is a Christian but what is the population of Katsina Christians as compared to the Muslim counterpart.

stuffs2002:

They are Significant
You cannot tell me that the 45% Christian Igala are insignificant
Some of them even Claim that Igala Christians are the Majority

Christistruth03:

Stop deluding yourself.

Are Igbo Muslims significant in population?

Anyone can create a website and type anything.

There are many websites showing the existence of aliens and UFO

Christistruth03:
Has Christian Ruled Kogi Before even an Igala one?
Kogi has a huge Christian Population close to half of the State
Did you see what happened to James Faleke when he should have taken over?

I agree with you on the religious demography of Kogi state. Okuns are almost entirely Christians and they should be around 20% of the state population. The Igbirras are mostly muslims and they're about 25% of the population. The Igalas are roughly divided between Christians and Muslims. Other minorities are about 5% of the population.

However, I don't think the reason why Okuns are not able to produce a governor is because they're mostly Christians. It's more because they're small in population and naturally docile. Unlike the Igbirras that are too violent.

The Igalas are not fanatical about religion. They're even more entrenched in African traditional religion. The opportunity Igbirras seized and now want to rule for 12/16 unbroken years is because they know it will take forever if it gets back to Igalas.

Going by your analogy, Igbo Muslims are also 30% abi

Igbo muslims is a phrase that sounds alien to Igbos. There are far more Judaism adherents in Igboland than there are muslims.

The muslims you find in Igboland are only pockets around Nsukka & Ebonyi, with few other political muslims that want to enjoy windfall from those trying so hard to promote Islam in Igboland.

Igbo culture is more in tandem with Christianity and Judaism. Islam doesn't have anything in common with Igbo culture and that's why it has failed to gain traction despite all the efforts by Fulanis and Arab money.

Islam is less than 2% of Igbo population.

I have never met a Muslim Igbo

I am not saying that they don't exist

But they cannot be more than 2 %

Oga, nothing like massive rigging because ododo won.

The Ebiras traveled from every part of the country they are just to vote because it's a contest of ethnic superiority among Ebira and Igalas.
So Ebira took it personally.
I knew this because I have friends from the two ethnic groups, I'm not Ebira neither am I Igala.

Even it was from Igala's end we heard reports of over voting (rigging).

SOSinNigeria:
I don't see that happening. Igalas almost won with an unknown party like SDP, if not for massive rigging. Then what do you think will happen if the Igala candidate was in a party with structure like PDP?

Igalas will be too angry that Ebiras has ruled for 12/16 years unbroken to let the next opportunity slip.

Trash! Trash! Trash!

You got it right! If not for the unfortunate death of Abubakar Audu who had already won the election but died before INEC could announce him as the winner, Yahaya Bello wouldn't have become the governor!

ejimatic:
Yorubas are minority in Kogi state.However the candidate PDP presented is a Yoruba man. His people did not vote him because he offended Yoruba kingdom by making jest of Tinubu the Yoruba kingdom candidate in the last election.

Where did this come from

How come Igbos are never allowed to rule Nigeria?

it's democracy. Tribes with Higher population win the election hook or crook ie deploying tribalism. Just thesame way Yoruba and fulanis rule Nigeria and oppress the minorities, that's how yorubas are to be oppressed in Nigeria if they are in the minority in any setup. If you want Yoruba to rule kogi, fight for the minorities in the NC/SS to rule Nigeria first. I mean fight for a new Nigeria where tribalism is not what gives people access to political power, contracts and jobs but capacity and track. Nigeria sits on a faulty foundation that needs general constitutional reformation . Igbos and yorubas tribal wars on nairaland is not about good governance but about which tribe can produce president so as to hijack all job, contracts and appointment to their tribe to the total neglect of minorities. We have a long way to go in building a just society with equal opportunities for all

The south south is the only people that are not tribalistic in Nigeria. Thats why, up till now, yorubas have emerged VCs, CMDs, rectors, provost, GMD in federal government agencies in the south south without the local monarchs fighting or taking any fight to Abuja. In the case of yorubas and igbos, they have never allowed an urhobo, ijaw, itsekiri, efik, ibikio, ikwere or ogoni to emerge head of any federal government agencies in their zones since 1960. You can verify. Yorubas and igbos need to do alot of work to become less tribalistic themselves than accusing any other tribe of tribalism. Other tribes in kogi actually learnt tribalism from igbos and yorubas

I suddenly stopped seeing a contact on my WhatsApp. It disappeared even on my WhatsApp contact list but the number is still on my phone contact list. If I open my phones contact list, I can select to send a message to the contact through WhatsApp and it will open the contact on WhatsApp, I will send message and it will deliver and once i leave the chat, i wont see it again on whatsapp, if the person reply me, I won't see it or get a notification, I won't even know until I open the contact again on my phone contact list and select WhatsApp. If i type the name i saved the number with on WhatsApp, i wont see it thrn my WhatsApp contact list number reduced by 1 and even i refresh it will say contact list is updatedyet that contact wont be there, even in groups that we are together his name is not showing but if he makes a comment in the group, I will see it but if i try to open the members of the group, i wont see him at all. I have searched on my second WhatsApp and I can see it. Who has an idea what could have happened?

There are Igbo Muslims in Igboland and Islam is not alien to any culture. Igbo Muslims are more than 20%.

It is very much laughable that Igbos accept that there are Hausa Christians but refuse to accept that there are Igbos Muslims. Even when they accept that Igbo Muslims exists, they are quick to dismiss the. as people who are practicing Islam for money. Why not say that Igbo Christians are also recieving money from Christian countries.

I have met several of them and they are good Muslims too. But imagine how odd it would be for me to just say that Igbos Muslims are significant just because I have met some.
