Igede are vibrant people in Benue State. They are Edoid people via Edo North to where they are now.

They have faced marginalisation in Benue and have had to be resourceful and smart to survive and grow. When squeezed between Idomas and Tivs, it can't be easy. It's same problem minorities face across 9ja. The so-called big tribes would very much like to totally swallow up minorities, a modern colonialism at local level.

They are increasingly reconnecting with their kilt and kin in Edo.

Liar
Dont go thinking you have an idea simply because of the question marks. You got no clue.

Op, Igede doesn't end in Benue state. We have indigenous Igede's in cross river featuring prominently. I am from Gabu in Yala LGA of cross river state, an Igede nation. Infact the present house member representing Yala 1 constituency in cross river state house of Assembly is an Igede from Gabu. There other notable Igede speaking communities in cross river like Itekpa, Opriku, etc.

Btw, Igede's are not traitors so my Idoma friends should stop tagging us as one. We are two different tribes with similar cultures.

God1000:
stop talking bullshit, no one is asking for your pity, I made this post to enlighten ignorant and misquided folks like you, with this your mindset and mentality, Tiv will never give you a chance to rule benue, don't ever claim preeminence over us because nobody knows tomorrow.

Glad to meet my brother here.

Dont know how long you've been on Nairaland but be prepared to tolerate alot of bulshit from those guys. Over the years, there's literally nothing they've not thrown at me. Recently they started claiming Ameka is Igbo land and part of Biafra. My clan, part of Biafra, how!!??

Very annoying species of humans.

Putindbutt:

Fair enough, this settles it.

EnemyofGod22:
Op you are a big liar,Igege is a purely Idoma language,I'm Idoma and I can tell you catigorycally that Igede is an Idoma language.the case of Igede can be liking to the case of Ikwere Language in Rivers State.whereby Ikwere claimed that they are not Igbo but they all understand Igbo language and Igbo also understand the ikwere Language,if Igede man the speak Igede language Idoma man can understand 99,9% of it.so tell me what make you thinks they are different language ? Do you think Idoma are so foolish to allow Igede to rule them as Ochi, Idoma if they are not the same language ?

Our ties to Cross River state is so strong sometimes one can't even tell us apart.

There was a time a VERY CLOSE relative of mine was to be made the 4th citizen of Benue state, but was denied the appointment after some punks wrote the governor that we're from Cross River.

Hear yeye talk.

You're probably a teenager still being spoofed by mom to utter this arrogant pile of garbage.
Igede = Idoma, how exactly?

Mtscheeew.

God1000:

Good to meet you too bro, I've been around for quite some time, but "on and off" most times.
These people are so delusional with their propaganda.

God1000:
lol
I even thought I was talking to an idoma person, Igbos are facing serious marginalisation in Nigeria right now, the reason for Biafra agitation and the current anarchy in South East, so you are in no position to even mock us.

Igede are Idoma people full stop.

dalass:


Why is it that most Igede men loves alcohol?

Also, their women are very hardworking but their men, though hardworking but mostly irresponsible to their own wives and kids?

EnemyofGod22:


You useless human being,I know the time then born you if you don't know,you are talking to your father agemate,we all know you Igede are betrayer, since you useless Igede said Idoma no go ever become a governor, there's no way you guys go become a senator in zone c.

Igboid:


You are not enlightening anyone.
Igede and Idoma are Igbo neighbors.
We know everything all about una.
Don't come here writing nonsense.
We know the situation on ground.
If you are not seeking for pity party, what are you then doing here?

Abeg go and sit down under a tree make I see road.

MiracleMe7:

You don't have a sense. I think you are smart enough after reading your write up but this assertion you made against Igbos shows how hateful you Benue people have against the Igbos.

Your fathers joined Hausa Fulanis to fight against Igbos during Biafra and Nigeria war.

But today what is happening? The same Fulanis are killing your people en mass. Fulanis have already concurred some villages in Benue.

You have not dealt with the Fulani killing your people and destroying your farmland but you are busy here talking trash against the great Igbo tribe that has been a Hausa Fulani nightmare since Nigeria had independence.

If not for how brave and wise Igbo people are Hausa Fulani could have Islamize Nigeria because it's only Igbos that challenge them in this country.

Mr man, soon all your people will start having bp because of the hatred you people have on the igbo tribe.

Watch your back because soonest you will come to seek refuge on Igbo land, because Fulani people has not finished dealing with you guys.

Learn to show love and appreciate great people because that is the only means you Benue people will come to beg igbos for help, to fight Fulani in your land.

Be wise!!!
