Tivs playing some kinds of dirty politics

idoma should give senator to igede lets start from there.....

OGHENAOGIE:
toor Igbos and chest beating as usual...

Did you read his comment or you have a personal problem with the Igbos. He was even trying to refute my claims. You quoted the guy out of context. However, the nine LGAs of Anioma have the highest voting strength in Delta.

annyz:
Ask Suleiman

He will tell you na Igbo man cause am.

So this thing pain una like this

So there is also marginalization in Benue, Nawaooo! While the over educated illiterates that came from Benue who had taken shelters in the South East are always busy running their mouth up and down every time Igbos raises the issues.. The over educated illiterates like BenueJos, Omenkaliv etc

tamdun:

That's life, its always been like this everywhere, even in US

Yet,they saw reason and allowed Barrack Obama to become President. Why cant Nigeria and Nigerians see reason ?

It duel to the so call God father's in the political circle,and has caused and cost so much wasteful years in the Nigeria political circle.

God1000:
There's marginalisation everywhere in Nigeria both at the national, state and local government levels.

The Tivs have numeric advantage over idoma and igede put together and they are not ready to relinquish power yet, the same way idoma people believe that the seat of Benue south senatorial zone is their birthright and they won't allow igede man to be senator.

The Tivs have been producing governor since 1999 and it's not fair, we want equal representation and opportunity to serve.

I appeal to the Tivs to reconsider and allow other tribes to produce governor.

I have a cordial relationship with my tiv and idoma friends and neighbours both at home and work in my state of residence, this issue of discrimination only exist more in Benue state.

We all should come together and embrace one another because outside the shores of Nigeria, nobody cares whether you are Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba or igede.
The outside world doesn't care, we carry the same image and national identity.

I think there's Something fundamentally wrong with Nigeria, say no to tribalism, nepotism and marginalisation.

Tuface is a hypocrite. So to him, it's ok for his Idoma people to dominate the Benue South senatorial seat because of their numerical advantage and not allow an Igede person become Senator but it's not ok for Tivs to continue using their own numerical strength too to perpetuate themselves as governor?

One thing is certain. A polygamist or $perm banks can't make a good leaders

Tuface take note.

qekng40:
I think its this state that always have a Governor from one particular tribe, deputy Governor from one particular tribe and Speaker of the state house of assembly from one particular tribe.

Its been so since time immemorial.

Methinks the majority ethnic group/tribe are bullies!

You've said it all. But things need to change, marginalization and nepotism in Nigeria is one of the major problem this nation is battling with today...

Advocate500:
if you are sincere to yourself, you will agree with me that ogbia, epie,Atisa people are minority tribe. But continue to deceive yourself and accuse others of what you are guilty of.

Those are subgroups of Ijaw! Never a distant ethnic group! Though some stubborn ones will be claiming dat re Epie, Ogbia, etc. It is same in Delta state where some stubborn Okpe, Uvwie pple will be claiming dey re not Urhobo when they are!

OMENKAismad:
2 baba I never hear you say something about killing I'm Benue state abi you don collect gana must go

Thank you onyem, most of the so called celebrities are just fortunate to have the position they have but they don't understand the power they possess to affect the change we desire or either they are hypocrites.

I have one igede freind that is in the habit of telling me igbo can never be president of Nigeria ,�� what an irony! I don't even know that an igede man does not have a hope of being a senator or governor in his state talkless of being the president of Nigeria ����, you put other down but you are unhappy when other out you down, hypocrisy dey smell.

Wrong. You don't start politics or governance from the top. You start dictatorship from the top. If things will change in Nigeria it must start from the local government level.

ImmaculateJOE:

Let's start from the presidency, from there States, senatorial district, Federal constituency, LGA, and Wards will follow suit.

A society can never rise above the mentality of the majority.Lets be honest,ethnicity?majority of us are guilty of this.

God1000:
that's very good, equal representation will bring rapid growth

In Nigeria? When has that ever happened?

Tuface you contest na .....are you not popular?

tamdun:

That's life, its always been like this everywhere, even in US

Love the fact that you have brought this up.

Democracy is a game of numbers so the plea should not be for "TIVS" to allow you get governor.. it should be integration.

when i hear people say equity equity i realise we still play the most basic of politics - Ethnic politics which is very sad

ImmaculateJOE:


Delta State is doing well in terms of equity and fairness.

Ijaw and isoko never governed the state.

LIE! Are u even a Deltan nr a visitor?? Urhobos have the HIGHEST voting strength! They have 8LGA BUT have lots of communities inside Bomadi, Burutu and Ukwuani lgas!

Osariemen12:




That's true. If not for equity, the Igbos of Delta State have the numeric advantage to perpetuate themselves in the state government house.

I never knew they were this large until recently. Check out Anioma
Aniocha North
Aniocha South
Ika south
Ika North-East
Ndokwa East
Ndokwa West
Oshimili North
Oshimili South
Ukwuani
[b]All these are Igbos and they have the highest voting strength in the state. [/b]Equity can be a good thing in every situation.

Are you really sure of the bolded? So you're saying the Igbos in Delta are more than Urhobos and lsokos? Provide evidence for this claim.

abegi comot for road that's how one Said Igbos have the largest voting strength in Nigeria... Some go tel u say na igbos plenty for Lagos... Isn't that nonsense chest beating... The ppple u are calling igbos in Delta Dem tell u say Dem be Igbos??

omenkaLives:
TuBaba is asking that question on the wrong platform. He should have made the post of Facebook where most politically active Benue people are found.

By the way, he's hypocritical too. The idoma are doing to us what the Tiv are doing to the entire state.

If they really wanna have this discussion, they should first allow an Igede man to become the Senator or Minister for Zone C. When this happens, then they can have the moral platform upon which to stand and make such demands for governorship.

Oh so you understand the spirit of fairness, but you attack the Igbos at every turn and talk against an igbo man becoming the president. Hypocrite

God1000:
personally I've been agitating on this platform and others

Leave that boy oleng. Their own definition of agitation is to pick up arms and begin to kill ourselves. Even Ihiejwo that was burnt recently over the Ukpa Ibilla quarrel, folks have yet to recover fully from, but people like him want us to begin to kill ourselves because we feel politically disadvantaged.

We're wiser than that. We don't have much and will protect the little we have as a people jealously, while trying to build on it. That is the mind of Ol'igede.

Igede ka ha!

Say no to

Nepotism

God fatherism

Urhobos are majority in Delta State.
Delta Central have the highest voting strength not the North.

Democracy does not provide a fair playing ground, sorry. If you don't have the numbers, then your people can't be governor. That's the sad reality in different parts of the country.

Democracy should be reserved for countries without states of origin and over 700 languages. Our tribal differences automatically make us tribalists.

alsudan:
The Idoma should first allow Omenkas tribe Igede to be the Zone C Senator in Benue, before demanding for Governor.

As it is, Omenka can never amount to anything in Benue politics, not even just a Senator. It’s that horrible for the fellow.

He is always busy supporting Buhari

gidson12:

The difference is were not a people led by emotions. We aren't killing and eating ourselves because we feel we've been short changed politically. We aren't repressing the freedoms of our mothers, father's, brothers and sisters for that. We aren't burning down what little infrastructure we have in our place. We aren't going about hating everyone and crying that people hate us. We aren't cursing Tiv or Idoma people.

None of these things listed will draw us any closer to the positions we aspire to.

We might be a small tribe, but we have our wits about us. You can't say the same for yourselves, can you?

Okoro, Una no wise!

Sheggy13:

Evidence speaks. Both Delta and my state, Edo, were once in the same state. Historically, Anioma has block votes in state politics. Take a look at the 2019 election results.

Ijoh:



Stop getting yourself confused and stop convincing yourselves with lies.

you are the only confused one here oga ,i am only pointing out your hypocrisy ok.

Urhobo's have more numbers Edo boy. It's equitable because urhobo's don't have up to 50% so they can't lord supremacy over anyone.
Urhobos-40%
Igbos-30%
Ijaws-15%
Isokos-10%
Itsekiris-5%
Others-0.01%
