Mmm, daaah, Buh the current prime minister of Ethiopia is Oromo, isn't he? Oromos are not that marginalized in Ethiopia from what i can see. I may be wrong tho.
I also think it's wrong for you to be supporting the disintegration of Ethiopia. Are there not marginalized groups in Kenya too?

I love your explanations 9jakool buh please can you try to put some summariness? Thanks.

First of all, in response to your second paragraph or first point, i'd like you to know that a good number of ethnic groups in Cross river north n maybe central do share Kwararafa origins e.g the Yalas, yaches, bekwarras, obubra n obanliku e.t.c.
There was a time a few years ago that traditional rulers from Cross river and other states of Nigeria went to Wukari to meet the Aku-Uka n confer their rightful ancestry to his kingdom.
Check the link below to confirm, the 2nd paragraph of the 1st page.

Before i throw in a few explanations about the Tivs, i'd like you to read this link very well.

http://naijasky.com/benue-state/19/history-of-tiv-people/9455/

After reading this link, i don't think we need much explanations or arguments again to understand where you and i are missing it.

I was missing the fact that even though Tivs came from Congo, they did not come to Benue region of Nigeria immediately, they settled at the swem hills in present day Cameroon until it became overpopulated for them before they came to Benue, Central Nigeria and displaced we the kwararafan tribes.
You are missing the fact that they possibly came from somewhere before arriving the swem hills (in present day Cameroon).

Another point we are having a misunderstanding is the issue of Tiv expansion and their expansionist nature.
It's unfortunate that you don't understand my explanation of Tiv expansion, that was why you were comparing Tiv expansion to Igala, Nupe, Edo or Yoruba expansion.
Hope you know that there are over a million Tivs in Nasarawa n Taraba states? Buh the Tivs in these states are not regarded or recognized as Indigenes by the other ethnic grouops in these states because these people all knew when the Tivs arrived.
We in Benue don't have such audacity because the Tivs are the majority here and their settlements in Benue are definitely older than those in neighbouring Nasarawa n Taraba states.
Tivs are/used to be the kind of people who will come to your community in peace looking for farmlands and once you have given them it is finished, they have the highest birth rate of any tribe in Nigeria or even Africa and multiply so fast. Within a short time they have already outnumbered you in your community and before your people can say jack, they have already had more settlements surrounding your community and if you try to fight them, you are most likely to loose the fight due to their large numbers. This was how they displaced most Kwararafan tribes and are still displacing us till date (only that civilization n education has reduced it to an extent).

This is the reason why you find Benue river Jukun n Etulo (Idoma speaking tribe) communities in the heart of Tiv land in Benue state, completely enclaved by Tiv communities. During the height of Tiv expansion when they displaced Kwararafan tribes, some like the Etulo n River Benue jukuns (who are mostly fisher people) and probably thought they could not do without the River Benue stayed behind, and this was how they were enclaved and cut off away from their linguistic sibblings. Today, most of them have adopted Tiv language, culture n identity and it's just a matter of few decades for them to be completely Tiv-ized.


If you want to study the history of a tribe, especially through the oral means. Another good way you can do it is by asking the neighbouring tribes of that ethnic group to give you some oral accounts about their neighbours.
I will try to find some online documents featuring oral accounts from Idomas, Jukuns, Agatus, Igedes, Alagos and all other ethnic groups neighbouring the Tivs.
Buh being from this area, i have had first hand oral history info from my own tribe and other neighbouring Kwararafan tribes on the Tivs and it is exactly the same story from every quarters about the Tivs being expansionists who came to their lands not too long ago.
If you want to confirm this, pls feel free to befriend any person from an ethnic group of Kwararafan descent in Taraba, Benue, Nasarawa or Cross river state.
Thanks.

Muafrika2:

Karen was overtaken decades ago by places like Kabete, Kitusuru, etc Many people are also building their homes in the rural places.

Don't be so quick to judge. There are whites in Karen who are descendants of settlers who got the land for free but a century later, they are barely surviving. Not all white people are rich.

The place is more of a college district nowadays.

Did I say IBM Africa headquarter is in Nigeria?

Check well. I said IBM Africa regional headquarter is not in Nairobi.

A Nigerian was formerly the chairman of West, South and East Africa headquarter. He is now the chairman of of East and Southern Africa of Coca cola.

Many organizations have demoted Nairobi from the Africa regional headquarter to East Africa regional after coming to Lagos.

I enjoy reading your links and you do have a good points.

Yes, I visited your links. What did i gained from this? I reinfirmed the notion that Tiv expanded from Swem hills in Cameroon. The Congo evidence is not widely supported. Out of the plethora of authors, only a very few confirmed that they asre indeed fom Congo. "Abraham (1934: 5) concluded that the Tiv were “real Bantu” suggested that Tivs migrated from Congo." Abraham based his description by selecting 67 Tiv words that he thought sound similar to Nyaza of Congo. Notice the use of "real bantu". The theory that they came from Cameroon is more supportred by their oral and archeology tyraditions than the theory that they came from Congo. Also Congo is a huge place stretching from Southern africa to Northern Africa and to Eastern Africa. The language he was referencing is spoken in a region all the way South near Zambia. The Congo evidence is so narrow and it's not as supported. Even this similarity does not change the fact that they are Bantoid. Bantoid languages have narrow similarities with Bantu, I've already established that. This is already touched on by Muafrika2. But they are classified as Bantoid and not Bantu by scientists for a reason right?


I completely get it. Personally, that story of "Tivization" is very similar to "Hausanization" currently going on.


It's fine.

Whoever wants to compare Nigeria's GDP with Kenya's certainly doeant understand a thing about economics. Kenya is wherever it is because Kenyans are brilliant people. Nigeria has $0.5 B GDP because of oil exports. Kenya doesnt rely on minerals, unlike the rest of Africa's top 10 GDPs. FYI Kenyans marry anyone because we are receptive of all cultures, not because Kenyan women like Nigerian men. Refer to Barack Obama Snr.

iblawi:



You really need to learn economics dear. Oil contribute only 11-18% of Nigeria's economy. Google is your friend bro. Agriculture, telecommunications, etc contribute more.

Oil is the major source of forex to Nigeria and it's also the major source of government revenue. Economy is a completely different thing.

PissedYagami:

11 to 18% that is directly. Then there is indirectly, got to be bigger. Thats why all oil economies have higher gdp per capita than non oil economies
