Idomas and Igbos share similarities in names culture, tradition, religion, market days etc. Of the 3 major tribes, Igbos are the closest to the Idoma so any Idomas person hating on the Igbos is ignorant |

Love800:There are Igbo in Benue state in zone C (Ezza and Izzi Igbo communities in Ado, Okpokwu and Oju local government areas). A pretty small number though but they settld in those parts of idomaland long before the coming of the white colonisers. They are effectively stateless as it is. They don't have a voice in Benue state and the Igbo in Ebonyi seem to have nothing but hatred for them. The earliest maps of Biafra includes what is now called zone C in Benue state as Ojukwu wanted to ensure that the Igbo kith and kin in that part of Benue were not forgotten while at the same time, creating a buffer between Biafra and Northern Nigeria. This is a key reason why the Nigerian airforce has its largest base in Makurdi, the Tactical Air Command. This is where Nigeria's latest fighter jets are based. The base is close enough to cripple any build up of logistics to sustain any fighting force in Igboland and distant enough from Igboland to avoid capture. |
