WHY IDOMAS CANNOT PRODUCE A GOVERNOR

Democracy in Benue and even in other parts of Nigeria is far short of what it supposed to be in this experiment . A tiv man with his bias mind will never allow any minority tribe to over rule .Abba morro tried it but failed in that bid .Even the courtesy call on the tor tiv by ochi idoma in an attempt to persuade all the tiv governorship aspirants to step down for the idoma aspirants will never work. That is the bitter truth to be told . Let the idomas rather search for another deputy governor for the next dispensation.The only solution for the idoma will be APA state.Let the idomas withdraw from this race to avoid waste of funds for a project that is already bound to fail .Thank you .

Then he should contest if capable

Ivimmanuel:
The heart of an Idoma man is desperately wicked. You guys will never be governor of Benue state. Btw you guys are deficient in numbers, tell me the magic that can make an idoma man or woman governor of the state? When an average idoma hates the Tivs.

It was the same sentiment the Igalas had about the igbirras, Same thing de Hausa Fulani's thought about the Southern Kaduna people, until Gov Yahaya Bello and Late Yakowa came into the picture, but today the story is different, you're not God so you don't know 2moro. Secondly, we don't hate the Tiv people, A Tiv man by default is naturally greedy and only thinks about himself, if you doubt me check all the Areas surrounding Tiv land, you've fought the Jukun, Igede, Kuteb, Fulani,Neighbouring tribes in Nasarawa and cross river states all around your borders you've fought any body who's not Tiv, heck you've even fought amongst yourself, because of your land grabbing tendencies. The Idomas are aware of your selfishness that's why we left the state for you n concentrated at the Federal level.

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.

Stop arguing and learn to accept corrections.

Delta north isn't the most populous in Delta State, the Urhobos are. Even during the time Bendel was/were together, the Urhobos were the largest, having a larger population than that Bini & Ishan combined.

agentarcher:


Leave that ignorant fellow. I'm would like to come to the office and defend what he is saying. Trying to claim another's state as their own because we were generous enough to allow a minority tribe rule the state. This is why some majority don't allow minority rule. Stupid talks like this comes up.

In Bendel, the Urhobos were by far the largest, even having more population more than the combined forces of Bini and Ishan. In a real population census, I don't even see any tribe in the Niger Delta except Efik/Ibibio having more population than the Urhobos.

God1000:
I used to think that way before, that I don't care where the president comes from provided he's giving us good governance and dividends of democracy.

But we are not getting any good governance, hence the need to balance it because of some discriminatory policies and programs against certain tribes

I still think that way and I haven't changed how I think because of what the constitution says. It's when folks now begin to see governance outside of what the constitution says, that's when you begin to see "the need to balance it because of some discriminatory policies and programs against certain tribes". So if you and everyone of us seeks first the constitution, it's values, tenets, instructions, ideals and principles, then every other thing will be added. You can't circumvent the constitution which tells us how we should be governed by "balancing" things and then still expect that things will go well. How?

going by your logic, one tribe should continue ruling others till eternity in a multicultural society like Nigeria all in the name of constitution when the country keeps retrogressing

Which my logic? Am I the constitution? You are saying "all in the name of the constitution"? Can you have a Nigeria without it's constitution? You are still trying to think outside provisions of the constitution. What does the constitution say about governance and what it is supposed to deliver to the people? What are the interests of the people as dictated and outlined by the constitution?

the same constitution says that everybody should be treated equally bro.

The bitter truth is that our leaders don't honour or respect our laws, I'm the most patriotic Nigerian you've ever known, you can't match my patriotism at all.


But our constitution needs total overhaul, this country is not working for everyone, it's time we restructure to advert the impending disaster

what does the constitution say about stealing government funds? How many people have been prosecuted? What does the law say about wanton destruction of lives and property? How many bandits, terrorists and Fulani herdsmen have been jailed for killing innocent Nigerians?

The questions you keep asking me are funny in a broken and dysfunctional Nigeria

The results of the Delta State guber election in 2019. Show me how central has more voting strength than the south or north.

Vinnie2000:
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!

The urhobos r geneticaly imbibed polygamous people sir,d aniomas equally have communities in urhobo land,d urhobos have politically laid structure with d likes of james ibori hence d dominance bt bliv me table is fast turning round

I never knew you were this childish man.

Here's my parting words, I pray and hope for a better Nigeria where the membership of my country won't be based on the language I speak.

where I will be judged by the content of my character.

Where ethnic profiling, prejudices and stereotypes won't exist.

God bless Nigeria, goodnight

Marginalization and bullying everywhere. No equity, fairness and Justice so how can there be peace. Tiv bullying Idoma, Idoma bullying Igede. All have to come together and agree on certain terms else Benue will continue to remain like this. See Ebonyi State created yesterday leaving Benue behind.

Unfortunately democracy does not allow the world to turn that way. Highest votes wins.

Well Mr. Adult, you still haven't answered my questions neither will prayers answer the questions:

2. You are still trying to think outside provisions of the constitution. What does the constitution say about governance and what it is supposed to deliver to the people?

3. What are the interests of the people as dictated and outlined by the constitution?

4. What does the constitution say about anyone at all using the govt to oppress anyone based on questions 2 and 3?

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!

Honestly from my little research, the Times are the most toxic tribe to cohabit with in Nigeria. They don't care if any other tribe exists are breathes like them when it comes to politics. Just zero tolerance!

Rugaria:

And why do most of you keep quiet as you are marginalized and truamatized politically and economically, only to start shouting down the groups trying to rectify the situation? I mean the igede are quiet. They're not agitating vigorously as they should. Now an idoma man is trying to draw attention to the plight of his people and all of a sudden, you want to use the situation of the Igedes to rain on the parade of the Idomas... Is that right? Cry your cry and let him cry his cry.. It's like this everywhere in this country. Folks always trying to complain about the complainant...

Most of you won't say anything about the deplorable state of Nigeria but you are all dying inside. You hate what the fulanis are doing. You hate the way a section of the country has managed to corner everything for themselves while relegating almost everybody else to the background. But once the igbos start to agitate, you all get upset. We start hearing stuff like "are you the only ones suffering"? If you're suffering too, stand up and be counted and stop castigating those who feel that enough is enough, and started doing something..

Don't mind them there was a time the idomas wanted to absorb them as one tribe in unity even as far as making an igedeman HRH.Agene Okpabi an ochi'idoma is that not fair & accommodating?

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.

Yes wo, to the granular.

alsudan:




An Yhula TSWAR the joke is on you if you think everyone that stands for a just an Equitable Nigeria and Condemns the Maginalization of the SE must be from the region.

Might just save your political career in the future and make you my newspaper reading and Banter replying deputy like Ogiri Ajene was. So show some respect.

Something tells me that is an insult. what does it mean?

absorb who? What is the population of idoma compared to igede, you are just dreaming man.

Your seven local governments gives you an edge over igede at the moment, but it won't continue like this forever.

vinnex:
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...

Which school of medical science?

The average Tiv men are greedy,selfish,unaccomodatingand warmongering in nature,they can't live together with any other tribes,the only tribe that can overmatch then with the same attribute is the Fulani.
