Phyna is not an Igbo girl from Edo state, she is an Edo girl from Igueben, a town in Esan land which is referred to as the Bini part of Esan land, because of all Esan towns, Igueben is closest to Bini linguistically, that is why she commonly refers to herself as a Bini girl. She only happen to have an Igbo mother, don’t misinform the public,


Her name is Ijeoma Otabor,


Otabor is an Edo name through and through,It means the evening tide favors me, there are other names in similar vein, Idubor, Irabor, isibor, Edobor, Ikubor, Asabor, etc the ijeoma certainly came from her mom

Your claims are wrong you can't know someone more than they know them selves

I don't think you watched her speak about her life, where she's from and how her community borders with a Delta Igbo speaking community which suppose to have been part of Delta Igbo but caved into Edo State

You now see were she's from now abi? Not all those nonsense you are spewing

So, who is the one misleading the general public now? Ode

Must you settle down for people land forever? If those community say they don't want you in their land leave there and go back to your region instead of getting killing every day. Igbo people self.

Illiteracy seasoned with hate.
Igbo community in Benue is not the same thing as Igbos living in Benue. They are on their ancestral land which was mischievously ceded to Benue State.

If Igbo speaking part wants to join Igbo they can go. We don’t have land for them in Benue.
Igbos are synonymous with Fulani from futajalon!

You need to back to school and understand the meaning of indigenous and ancestral land related issues

1. if they were displaced was the land they recently occupied in Benue state empty when they occupied it?

2. How come no other tribes from Benue state live among them to show they migrated to the state?

3. how come they dominate four senatorial districts in the state?

Ewu Yoruba...Abobaku
All this one na propaganda. You don't know history, and you were never thought about this in school or by your village people. You don't just see a post from Facebook and claim you know history. Besides I never said ezza people are not in Benue state, I said those districts were not theirs. It was given to them by the Agilas. Agila has the largest districts in the whole of Idoma land. Mumu, you don't know shit, all you know is just propaganda and stupidity.

Well, in as much as I know the Igbos to always drag land with people and some miscreants will come online to defend them.
Lagos was the first, then Delta government started with them, now benue people. But I can assure you that another will sprout out of kogi state soon.
I was in my hometown okene last month in Kogi State and I found out that Igbos have already started acquiring large expanse of land naming it as ndi Igbo street. I laughed and shook my head.
Nah Una knows waiting dey pursue u from developing ya villages
They are Igbos in Anekitikpa in Akpanya Kogi state though. They are very close to Igbo eze. But they don't consider themselves as Enugu people. All of them are kogi indegines

Why they were carved into Benue rather than Ebonyi, I will never know. Over one million Igbos that should have been in Ebonyi were carved into Benue State for no reason other than to get the population of Benue to State level

There are lgbo Benue around Nsukka. I visited the community for outreach during undergraduate days

So, somebody will just wake up one morning cede their ancestral land to some group of people here in Nigeria or in life after? You are mad

Just as the Tiv tribe form the major tribe in Benue state whilst there are Tiv tribe minority in Taraba state which is their ancestral land

So, you will say the land was given to them by the people of Taraba state too?

I showed you a prove that the Ezza's have been living in Benue before the creation of states by the FG, not just that it's their ancestral land and you called it a propaganda

Ok, show me authentic prove to back up your claims that the Agilas ceded the land to the Ezza people

They said Ezza people of Benue.
Ezza is in Benue and have always been there... I no tell anybody to collect Benue from you... I only said Ezza people should defend where they have always been and where they call their ancestral land.


You have too much Fulani herdsmen to worry about before giving yourselfs another headache
That has never been their ancestral land, They were given portion of land to settle down their because they came as laborers to do farm work. That’s my local government. If na want claim am now make Una talk make we start with them. Mind you Fulani can’t dare Ado local government, Go and ask about us.

This is just one of the too many attrocities Nigeria's Federal Government under Military Rule committed against Igbos.

In their wicked efforts to disorganize and reduce Igbos and Southeast landmass by all means after the civil war, they intentionally carved out Southeast communities from Southeast and put them in either Benue, Rivers, Cross River or Akwa Ibom States.


Out of the six geopolitical zones in Nigeria, only Southeast that houses one of the three major tribes in Nigeria have just five states while others have six and seven, yet some wicked souls don't see anything wrong in this because it favors their region and disfavours Igbos they love to hate.



God is not happy with Nigeria, the injustice, the sins, the innocent bloodsheds wasted are so much. Until Nigerians repent of their sins and start treating every Nigerian tribe with love, equity and fairness, Nigeria will continue to struggle as a nation.

And only a God fearing and passionate President who understands the laws of nature and the importance of love, justice, fairness and empathy that can lead this honest reconciliation and rebirth of Nigeria, if not, Nigeria goes no where as a nation even in 1,000 years from today .

If you see one, u no go vote am, u will rather vote for criminal brother in the name of tribe. Cover his errors and paint him saint.


If you like keep calling your saviour SUG president cos of the love for criminal brother that's push Nigeria in the hand of Tinubu.

Konquest:

Have the Ezzas spent up to 200 years on the land you say is owned by the Ado folks of Benue State? I assume you're from Benue State as well.

I read some years back that the Ezzas were usually given temporary lands to use for farming after helping other ethnic groups or close neighbors to fight wars as mercenaries. It's improper for the Ezzas to renege on handing back lands that were leased to them say 100 years ago by their neighbors. People will be wary of them as being dishonest because of this if that is the case.

mercenaries ke? Where Ezza people get power from to fight, they came as laborers to do farm work, And We the Agila people gave them land to settle down and we can take that land back any day, any time.

Lol, I'm not giving myself headache over any Ezza people. Ezza were just settlers, who ran to Benue state then because of all these wars. The people of ezza were giving shelter and lands to farm and make a living by the people of Ado. It's now very shameful and hurtful to see them claiming the lands. It's going to make other villages be wary of them, and not decide to accommodate them. Because as it seems, the war between Uffiom and ezza is not ending soon. Nobody prays for war, but uffioms seems to be looking for trouble always and not backing down.
Kid , stop talking about something you have little knowledge about, nobody gave lands to ezza people during the war rather they are
Indigenous to that land they were carved under benue - plateau state when Gowon created 12 States in Nigeria , just because Ado became the name of that local government doesn't mean they own every land under that local government

It might not be the whole ado lga but the lands the ezza people currently occupied is definitely their ancestral lands.

That name Benue started existing after 1966! Before the coming of the British, the peoplecurrently occupying the being referred to were there and they resolve communal disputes one way or the other. This artificial boundaries created by the military have boxed us into us vs them corners
Jamestown123:
And you thought the people of Benue was brought to come and occupy the land when the state was created by the military? You thought this was a 100 years dispute? Besides Benue people are not the ones disturbing the ezza people, abi effioms too are now Benue too?

And they foolishly loved to use the current landmass of the five SE states to mock igbos something they intentionally created to weaken the igbos. If all the igbo speaking communities in the north central and the so called south south are all added to the south east geo political zone am very sure igboland will definitely be larger by size than the south west region.

Benue state is lager in size than the 5 Eastern states put together,the Tiv people of benue state are the 5th or 4th largest ethnic group in Nigeria not to talk of when you add Idoma, igede, and other tribes....so what were you saying again...?

Benue should be up to 6.5 to 7million as they have a voters registration figure of about 2.8 million registered voters. That’s a whooping sum, above that of Ogun and anambra respectively.
But the Igbos there will not be up to 1 million, at most 3 hundred thousand
300 thousand should be at least not at most.
I don't have the figures but Benue has a huge chunk of Igbo migrants especially Zone C (the idoma part).
Their towns and villages are highly populated with Igbo migrants even down to Otukpo.
