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?


U ngu biume wan kpishi

I know alot if Nigerian tribes yet I don't understand their language, I don't even understand my maternal language.
TribaIism is rife in Benue, that's why the Idomas pride themselves in using the Tivs for manual labor and they do say it that the Tivs have been doing their manual labor since the days of their fore fathers, I have gotten myself acquainted with Benue since 1999 and my first agricultural encounter was in Otukpo and Tivs made those heaps, u don't even know basics.
Speaking a language doesn't mean u know everything about that tribe.

U don't know what the argument is about yet you are arguing?
That's why you don't even have a stand point, just drifting from talk to talk because you don't even know what or why you arguing, you think we arguing if you know Benue or not?

This is not even a lie
There is an Ibo couple on Instagram . They 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 .

That's a medical condition called Hirsutism is usually caused by an increase in androgens, or male hormones, in the body. It has nothing to do with tribe or ethnicity it can happen to any woman from any tribe or race

This are not igbo girls

Lol just 1999 and you think you know them more than me? It's like telling me you know me more than I know myself


Idoma might pride themselves using Tiv for that sort of jobs now cause they know Tiv people did look down on them as inferiors in the past, and if an idoma person tells you Tiv people did this type of jobs for their forefathers then they are lying to you just for the pride of it , Tiv people have alot of pride that can easily be passed off as arrogance, much like the igbos,



My argument here is based on the the first comment I made on this thread, and I still stand by it , that's the situation

See why I said you are lost?
It was you who said that Tivs will never farm or dig wells for Idoma in the 90's and 2000's, I just told you when I first encountered them doing that, you see your response?
You don't even know what you are arguing, you just want to keep replying.
The average Benue man, Tiv, Idoma, Igede etc all have prides in great amount.
The Tivs doing the jobs see it as their area of expertise and they take pride in doing it, you coming to defend what u don't know is funny.
The Idoma actually call the Tivs by a game, I can't actually write it in words, it literally translates to "heap maker", that's the name they have been calling them since the days of their forefathers, you can't defend what you don't even know, yet you say they are lying, so how did that particular name come about?
Are you more enlightened than the elders of idoma who told the story?
You lack basic knowledge, impersonating the Tivs won't enlighten you.

I'm not lost
If you think you know Tiv people very well you can tell by the Tiv dialect they speak, you can tell which part of Tivland they come from, tell me where this Tiv you encountered come from during that 1999 period doing that sort of jobs and and I might agree with you

I wonder why you think I'm impersonating the Tiv, I know what I'm talking about , do you know what Tiv people call idoma's ?

You see exactly why I said you are lost?
You are neither here nor there.
What exactly are you arguing now or you are typing because you have something to type?
When making an argument, have a stand point so you don't keep drifting.

I'm asking all these questions cause I want to test this knowledge you claim to know about benue people especially the Tiv people, so please answer the simple question

These Tiv people you encountered in 1999 where exactly are they from ? Which subgroup of Tiv are there?
