after a fierce battle

YES WE ARE

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!

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.

And then when you make an idoma man governor idoma south will start complaining why its only idoma north that takes govership post. now give it to idoma south and village A in doma south will start to complain why only village B in idoma south gets it. give it to village A idoma south and a family in village A idoma south will still carry placards that another family is monopolizing the position!

Nigerians are just a bunch of morally bankrupt and extremely greedy creatures that dont even know exactly what they want.

Enugu, Abia, Akwa Ibom,Anambra, SW states,NW states are doing great too
You see Benue, Rivers,Imo no dey try at all for rotation

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.

In this case, the Idomas and the Igede are One in memorial. An Igede man have been the Ochidoma for decades and an Igede man have been a deputy governor for eight years too. They are the ones separating themselves from the Idomas.

Your region is in serious chaos from invasion of some land grabbing mad men,and all your mind can linger on is political positions �
Fiaakwa who do una dis kind thing
Why is nobody talking about the killings in MB not even you,not even the big social figures from your Region,abi MB live no matter �

Sheggy13:

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.

Don't mind him! He is likely an NYSC dude posted to Delta state. Urhobos have the highest population. They have 8LGA but have lots of communities in Ndokwa and Ijaw land! The community where E.K.Clark comes from (kiagbodo) speaks Urhobo! D Ijaws also have a Great population because they are polygamous and bear plenty children!

omenkaLives:
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!

As usual you will always reply illogically and unreasonably........grow up, and have Sense. You don't have to Chun out nonsense to impress you pay master.

sageb:


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

You are not sure. Your comment shows you don't know much about Delta State. Delta Central has the least voting strength in Delta State. It is only Delta South that can challenge Anioma votes.
Delta South has these strong 8 LGAs: Bomadi, Burutu, Isoko North, Isoko South, Patani, Warri North, Warri South and Warri South West.

Delta Central: Ethiope East, Ethiope West, Sapele, Okpe, Ughelli North, Ughelli South, Udu and Uvwie


Compare both senatorial districts using 2019 gubernatorial election result.

rita25:
YES WE ARE

But its not fair

I think Benue State had a faulty foundation from the onset.

The Idoma and Igala who share closer cultural ties and even language along their border towns should have been put together in one State when Kogi was created. The Igedes in Benue should have been reunited with the ones in Cross River State. Benue is meant to be a homogeneous Tiv State.

Benue is a State where the ethnic groups have mutual disdain ..one for another.

I don't see an Idoma Governor or Igede Senator anytime soon in the State.

Gozac:

Enugu, Abia, Akwa Ibom,Anambra, SW states,NW states are doing great too

Bros, I don't know of other states in SW but Ogun State is an exemption. Ogun West senatorial District hasn't produced governor since 1999

Let him increase the tempo by impregnating more women to bear more children for him in order to be able to Bridge the population gap between the tiv and idoma
To face that doesn't have any legacy in Oturkpo not to talk of Benue at Large

WhizdomXX:

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%

God bless you for making attempt to provide evidence. Most people quoting me do so emotionally without evidence. The statistics you gave is accurate. Turn out during election is a different thing. Well done.

Maxymilliano:
Numerically, the Idoma are disadvantaged when compared to the Tiv. Democracy is a game of number, many Nigerians are only interested in voting along tribal line even when it is obvious their candidate doesn't have the required competence.

Democracy is a game of number? abi you mean politics/politicking

Igbos have more land but are 2nd in population near the Urhobo's. Ijaw comes far behind with Isokos at their tails. Itsekiris are 5%.

Yes, the election figures are heavily altered.

But overall it's a core PDP state and the other tribes vote PDP thoroughly. The APC also rig in their strongholds of Ughelli. Checkout 2011 election results.

Vinnie2000:
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!

If an epie or an ogbia man claims he is not ijaw, I think that should be respected. If okpe and uvwie claims that they aren't urhobo, that should be respected as well. U don't force cultural identity on unwilling people

He should first tell us why an igede man cannot be senator of zone C in Benue State. How do you fight marginalization while marginalizing others?

juman:


Ijaw and isoko never governed the state.

Ijaws are going to govern in 2023 if they are wise. Isokos like follow follow.

Idoma people too dey do sense, sense while Tiv people are free hearted people,

Back to the matter 2baba should direct this question to his state government not to Nigerians, cos everybody get their own palava for their states and locality.

You see Why i say you are an Ignorant mofo?? Apart from those 8 Lgas, Urhobos have many communities in Ijawland.e.g Odorubu,Uduophori,Gbaregolor, kiagbodo,etc! Even some parts of Obiaruku speak Urhobo! One Agbor girl has cooked food for you, u re now getting over-excited and spilling trash!

Iriruaga100:


They don’t have the largest voting strength in Delta. Get you stat right sir

They almost do. Voting strength Nd population are no longer the same in Nigeria. South east has population but 8n voting strength, they are referred to as 5%.

Leave him, he has acknowledged.

The Idoma's call themselves the effective minority.. At Federal level, they are majority. They have captured the school of Medical Sciences as their own. They have always exhibit the character of our own when given the opportunity to lead. They have a long way to go in their attitude...

[Edit]

Well no Isoko man man has become governor yet. So there’s still a question mark there on your claim of equity and fairness.

Vinnie2000:
SHUT UP! Anioma Igbos dont have any power or numerical advantage in Delta state!

They do. All tribes do. A partnership of at least 2 big tribes (Anioma, Urhobo and Ijaw) is needed to secure the post, one tribe can't do it on its own.

Well no Isoko man or Itsekiri man has become governor yet. So there’s still a question mark there on your claim of equity and fairness.

Be civil dear sis. You can present your points without badmouthing anyone. However, you have only begged the question; you did prove me wrong with statistics. Only Whizdom did.

Itsekiri. Thank you I will edit my comment now.

Tell your kinsmen to vote you to power.
