Which kind Oluwole statistics be diz

Niger State and Benue produce more Yams than all the states of Nigeria combined

Source?

What do you know about Zaki biam?

I just told you what I know.

JagabanBorgu:

Then you have no idea of what is happening in Zaki biam

Go and read my first comment that's the situation of Zaki biam now, the once biggest yam market in Nigeria

Elusive001:
Half education "Mal-education" is dangerous. Do understand what the statistics is all about?

You should look yourself in the mirror.

The statistics is meaningless for public consumption.
It would have made sense if it was for an academic publication.
But the public, I guess you as well, think it means SE is highest producer of yam,
hence the reaction.

I have seen similar stupid stats released by stati NO sense like "poverty per square mile" for each region when it practically has little
to do with actual poverty rate but the size and population distribution of each region.

If you really understand what the statistics is about, you would understand the reactions against it.

Tomorrow being Monday, yams will still be sold in Zaki Biam market and sent to SE and Port Harcourt, u lots talk too much.
It is only lgb0s that talk about Benue without any idea.
U lots depend on akpu from same state, yam, oranges, even potatoes from same Benue and several other crops, somehow, u are all still deluded that farmers are not going to farm in Benue State.
I'm currently in Benue State, few days ago I was in Makurdi, moving from parts to parts, I will go through Enugu to Anambra to Imo and other parts down to Rivers before returning back to Abuja.

Where is your anger coming from?

You don't have sense

Even in Borno, there are still farmers there and it doesn't change the fact that it's risk

The farm activites has reduced in Benue state unlike before. That's the fact

Are you staying in all parts of Benue?

The guy you quoted, am yet to see the identity that made him Igbo.

Don't allow your emotions control you. Do you know howmany attack and killings that has happened in Benue rural areas this year alone?

That you never met bad or evil people doesn't mean they don't exist. Leave Abuja and relocate to one of the Benue rural area for your farming and stop making noise alaye

I don't understand why you are ranting on something you have little knowledge of you think I'm talking out of hate for benue people which is far from it , I know benue more than you will ever know


Zaki biam is not what it used to be, I'm not saying yams are not sold there, I'm saying not like before when 200 to 300 trailer load of yams left Zaki biam market on a daily basis ,
the late Terwase Akwaza aka GANA who terrorized 3 local government , Katsina ala , ukum and logo destroyed that market they killed alot of traders and traditional chiefs not just in ukum where that market is located but in logo and Katsina ala too , igbo trader who where the major traders in that market some were killed some were kidnapped for ransom most of them relocated to gboko after that, even though GANA was killed by the army his boys are still operating in those areas, alot of soldiers were deployed there those solder's starting shooting young men anyhow accusing them to be members of GANA group or informate , majority of the young men who were great farmers left ukum because of that


Besides that the culture of farming in benue state itself is not like it used to be in the 90s or early 2000s it has changed especially amongst the Tiv young men , most of them prefer to ride okada for a living these days, some of them prefer to travel out of benue to work on other peoples farms or Coco plantations in Yorubaland , Benin or taraba state they sign yearly contracts and are paid at the end of the year, some of them cross into Cameroon by foot from abande in kwande local government

I have no reason to hate benue people, I was born and raised in Tivland in the village , Tiv language is my first language, I speak Tiv more than igbo or English, my mom is Tiv

You know Benue more than me whereas I have part of my roots in Benue?
When I personally have farms in Benue, I do alot of agric business with Benue, you possibly can't know the landscape better than me.
I have been to all 23 Local govt in Benue repeatedly for that matter.
I like the fact that you have started fine tuning your argument, unlike your initial statement that said "...farmers no longer go to farm...", "...Igbo traders no longer go there..."
These were your statements from your reply to someone who said Zaki Biam is still the largest yam market in the world, I replied you based on that not based on "hàtè" theory like u are insinuating.
It has always been known that the Tiv man always travel and return to his farm when the time is due, all what u listed are not new occurrences and the drop in farming in Benue State is not because of insecurity rather lack of capital as farming is becoming more expensive than it was in the 90's and 2000's.

You can't stay here and pretend that Benue is no longer farming when we all know that the SE and part of SS depends heavily on their products to get by.
Traders from different countries like Cameroon, Benin etc still come to buy stuffs from Benue even garri.

First and foremost, u are a f00I for addressing me the way u did.
If u don't have sense, try to understand the beginning of an argument before jumping into it, not every discussion is meant for children, he knows that I know that he's an lgbo, if u can't find anything that identifies him as an lgbo, that clearly shows this discussion is above ur wits, run along and look for ur level.

If you want to be addressed in a gentle manner, then stop involving whole tribe when replying an individual in a faceless forum.

Okay

Not surprising. The number of yam tubers there will definitely beat that of Benue if you count those on the legs of their girls.

Yeah and their women still beat your women on beauty

Your elites still rush the yam legged women

No be juju be that?

The strong legs shows stamina. They are more beutiful than your women still strong pass them.

Your women that looks like black amala with their body odour

As long as benue especially Tivland is concerned you have nothing to tell me, and what ever roots you claim to have there, my roots there are deeper than yours and Everything I said is the situation of what it is

And I say people in Zaki biam no longer go to their farms for fear of being killed in their farm and that's the situation , and the igbo traders no longer go there for fear of being kidnapped or killed most of them now live in gboko they buy yams from other markets that's the situation , if you don't understand what I mean then that's on you

And it has never been in the culture of Tiv people to travel and return to their farms when the time is due like you said, cause they plant , then few weeks after planting they start weeding, no Tiv person will leave his farm without attending to it for 2 weeks , most farm yams , cassava, and groundnut at the same time so no time for breaks


And I repeat the farming culture amongst Tiv people is not as it used to be in the 90s or 2000s like I said young men now prefer to ride okada or travel out of benue to work for the money, all my Tiv cousins that we grew up together left the village for same reason, farming is expensive cause young men don't want to work, those who are willing to work charge alot of money if you want to hire them, back when we were growing up, we had what is called Himbe , Himbe was a practice were young men will come together to help each other work on each others farm for free, people gave out lands to their friends or relatives to cultivate for free , (today you must pay for it ) , so farming was less expensive with such practice

Whatever you claim to know or be in Benue can't be deeper than what I have there and you can't possibly tell me about Benue.
Till today, trucks of food items are leaving Benue for SE and SS including yams from Tiv land.
Coming to taIk sh!.t claiming to have root from Tiv.

You don't even know anything about Tivs yet you claim to have root in Tiv land, you are blabbing.
Right now the Idoma part of idoma is flooded with Tivs who went there to make yam heaps for them, dig wells and other work before they all return to their farms before it rains, someone who claims to have root in Tiv land don't even know this.
Try harder when trying to impersonate a people.

Your initial attempt was to say sh!.t about Benue, "Benue is Iiving on past glory" somehow you are busy fine tuning.

Yes .We’ve seen how beautiful your hairy chested , yam legged and man looking women are .
Ezekwesili has to be the most beautiful female public servant in the history of Nigeria.
They also have abundant testosterone which is usually responsible for the stench that oozes from those women .

What elites chase your women ??
You must be living in dream land .

Were you not the same loser who look like a thing derived from the union of 2 bonobos whose picture was splattered here for defrauding a widow of 5 thousand naira ?

No Yoruba woman would look you twice because you come across like a cretinous clown with poorly developed telencephalon.

Your pay grade are your masculine Amaka , Chinyere etc

This is not even a lie
There is an Ibo couple on Instagram . They do content creation .
The woman has more hair on her chest than I have on my head and I’m not even bald .
I kept wondering how the guy gets erection because the woman looks more masculine than even the husband .

I’ll try and look for them and post here .

I didn't read through your entire write up, too long for my time now.
Tivs have been making heaps and digging wells in Idoma side since the 90's and 2000's.
It's something they do with pride because it's their craft.
You probably don't know anything about Tivs, you are just talking that's why you keep fine tuning your stand by going back and forth.
Today, several trailers of yam and several cassava products have left Benue headed to various parts of the countries and the sellers are eating pepper soup and taking beer with part of their return and lgb0s are anticipating the arrival of those trailers, ur noise here won't change that.

Richtaiwo:
Shitty statistics.

Benue state remains the largest producer of yams in Nigeria. Go to mile 12 in Lagos, all the yam dealers got their yams from Benue state. Some even buy and way bill to East.

Highest in production per household? What in the name of shuku okike is that supposed to mean?

U no understand the statistics.

You know more about Tiv but you can't even make a single sentence in Tiv language?

The more you talk the more you expose yourself of the little knowledge you have about Tiv people, let me ask you, do you know Tiv people look down on idoma's as inferiors? , Tiv people in the past never traveled to idomaland for jodo, they do now but never in the past


And who says trucks of yams and other agric products are not leaving benue? I never said anything of such , What is your argument all about? Do you know what it was like in the glory days of Tiv people,on this topic you are arguing about?
