Time has come for Igbo leaders to looks for our brothers all over Africa
useless ibo ..jukun is not ibos stupid... ..
A duty for one is a duty for all
Lol which igbo leaders are you talking about all these sabos that is after their big belly
Nothing concern Igbo here, you guys should try and be understanding things.
First they have to acknowlege their origin as Igbos, but that has not been done\
The tribe should showcase more of their culture and heritage online to get traction in terms of their potential recognition. Very knowledgeable and wise king
In Biafra, 4 market days,,, Benue,,,,4market day,,, your women tie two piece wrapper as we do in the Eastern region!!!.
Not all tribes. Exclude the Tivs they dont have anything in common with Igbo culture. Only Idoma, Igala, Igeded have igbo ancestry; especially the Idoma people.
@@piusochigbochristian1079 Exactly.
Thank God, middle belt has a name. Kwararafa confederacy. The native nations are taking shape. ❤
The tribe should showcase more of their culture and heritage online to get traction in terms of their potential recognition
Una de do well.Keep it up kwararafa
This chief is saying the truth, even if you check through the history of Kwararafa Kingdom Igbos were also there they parted after the majority of Jukun parted to the North-East and Hausawa to the middle- North, it was other numerous ethics within the middle- belt region today were left behind in the Kwarafa-Kingdom, they only did a few relocations due to several wars engagement, it was Igala, Idoma and the remaining part of Jukun within the present Nasarawa & Benue state that finally end the war!
If Nigeria 🇳🇬 like let them divide us into peses,we know who we are, we are BIAFRANS and we must continue fighting until BIAFRA is restored no going back ✊️
Jukun people are not please stop dragging igbos in the mud. I’m a proudly Igbo man, and I like it when we keep our value by not allowing minority tribes that are not igbos drag us in the mud.
Jukun are not Biafrans biko, Do you listen to the interview
U have started dragging ppl causing problems and hatred
The problem of sub Sahara Africa is tribal supremacy instead unity to develop like Chinese! Once power is in one tribe, they use it to oppress other tribes instead developing every tribe in the state.
Thanks 🙏
There is no such as sub sahara africa but africa.
@@nosaidubor9499 Please educate every misguided African who are aiding and abetting the division of Africa, and are helping legitimizing invaders claim to the north of the African Continent with the silly 'sub-sahara' foolishness.
What do you know of "Chinese", not much we see. lol
In order to integrate and assimilate Chinese tribes into the one China we know today, there were lots and lots and lots of wars among Chinese tribes battling for "supremacy" among themselves.
Africans do not have the inclination to have One Nation of Africans like Chinese of the past have. And for sure, Africans do not have the stomach for mass killing that would be involved in assimilating and integrating all Africans into one tribe.
For how would the African Ancestors of each tribe be 'cared for' when every tribe is mixed up?
Pot calling kettle black. You're projecting division with the nonsense term you people in the Sahara desert use to divide Africa. Even in Europe, there is division, and it brought about different countries. The problem with Africa is maintaining the colonial boundaries without agreement with the ethic groups all over Africa. The colonisers did that for their own benefits and are still benefiting from it presently.
The core of the soldiers that fought against the Ibos for Nigeria were from Benue State.
They were brainwashed by the Fulani's!!!.
Thank you. They were used by their Fulanis masters as slaves. Now they are agitating. Una go finish una fufu
You guys like chasing shadows. You are blaming Benue whose people majority that fought in the war were conscripted illiterate and mostly child soldiers. How many Benue sons were Brigade Commanders that prosecuted the war? None! This is cowardice. Turning a bling eye to Hausa-Fulani elites who were angered by the killing of their leaders, one of the reasons for the war? How about the brigade commanders like Adekunle,Obasanjo etc and senior military officers from that axis? How about Gawon, the then Head of State that prosecuted the war? Stop making scapegoats out of Nigerian soldiers from Benue that fought in the war Benue soldiers Benue people never master minded the first military coup,neither did the mastermind the counter coup that subsequently led to the civil war. It is rare you hear that Igbos resident in Benue have been attacked by Benue people like it happens in other parts of the country. Igbos live peacefully in Benue. Igbos form part of our kind makers in may parts of Benue.
Oga stop disturbing these people ur problems are yorubas.
These pple were the key machinery used to fight Biafrans during the war. Former Senator David Mark was the one that declared Igbo properties in PH as abandoned property. U see what longer-throat has caused ur people?. Whatever goes around comes around
Hausa, yoruba, Fulani, River state people and Benue people all have different issues or hate for igbo, Let Biafra go & declare their independence but without River state, C/R State and Benue state. Let only Igbo go. No more war. Nigeria will get another rivalry like Ghana but brotherly.
The day blacks will know we're one people is the day our problem will solve
True talk
Please HRN explain more of Kwararafa people, the meaning of Kwararafa, and why is your name Omale Igbo? Do you have a connection with Igbo tribe? And again you also wear red cap as Igbo do
I wear suits and speak English so am an English man.😢 Very intelligent entity. Why would u ask an English the meaning of Benue?
Based on their dialects I think Benu is '"Bia'" "nu". as in igbo central dialects, that is what it means. @@LifeplexTV
@Tellabu Igbo language was created from many languages. It was created to match the population of the North and West of Nigeria so that it can have a balanced rotationally government designed by the British far before the Berlin Conference. Reason why the promoted Igbo language. Their are facts about this from Britannia library. Although, the Igbos have tried to hard to shut down and subdued these historical facts. So reach about Bishop A Crewder one of the British tools and other British lady which was used as well. I used to have the web site but again the manage to shut the website down.
@Tellabu Igbo means Hebrew in Jewish language. The Igbos are from Israel, Igbos were the son of ERI, ERI the son of GAD, GAD the son of JACOB from Israel. Again, anywhere you see Igbo name that person or that town has connection with Igbo people, either their ancestors were Igbos before they
diverted their languages and their names. In Yoruba land someplace like IJEBU IGBO were migrated from Igbo, from BENIN to IFE down to IJEBU IGBO were Part of Igbo. From IDOMA, TIV, JUKUN, TARABA, OGOJA, some parts of Kogi state, some parts of Ondo state, some parts of Delta state, some parts of Cross river, River state were migrated from Igbo "Hebrew" in the original pronunciation. Please go and study world history since Nigeria does not teach history anymore.. Thank you
@@LifeplexTV Where does the Igbo language originated from? The language. Where were Igbos 500 years ago? Is there any written document of where they are from? We can start by a particular community or state. I heard Benin people are claiming some part of Igbos
So what is the meaning of Igbo in his language? This should be interesting.
YOU DON`T BEG WHAT BELONG TO YOU, YOU TAKE IT IF NECESSARY YOU FIGHT
Stop this tribal war . The constitution gives right to everyone .
Yes, they drop from sky like Oduduwa!!!😅😅😅
Same way Erie drop from the sky, right? lol
We have Benue Vista in Georgia America.
George means farmer, and also, we equate Banu to son of.
Like Ummaya Caliphate is
Banu Ummaya , Sons of Omaye or Muawiya.
Make us understand what what you are trying to imply
Justice, justice, justice!
Oga no remind us bad things jukum did in Benue, you should better start looking for your state, you people came in Benue because of fishing
Then what are the Jukum people doing in Gongola which is now Taraba state all this years contesting for elections, Wukali is it in Benue State?
Wukari is in Taraba state… Jukum are found in Taraba, Benue, Nasarawa. Makurdi belong to Jukum.
The Jukun people were the grand children of Eri Atta . Eri Atta born IGA , which is presently Igala , born Tiv, Idoma , and by extension had the Bassa , Alagwo , gwari , gwandara ,Igbira etc were the children of Eri Atta, and their ancestry were @ Aguleri. Benin, Odua .
This is very much false
Why is his last name Igbo?
Igbo word means different things to different tribe, please it got nothing to do with the tribe Igbo. Igbo in Yoruba is bush
@Obalufon lol its still the same igbo means the same to every tribe.
@@andyikeakor5451 Nope! Igbo only means bush or people term it as weed in Yoruba. If any other tribe say Igbo as a slang, it’s Yoruba. Period!
@@Obalufon we are saying the same thing
@@andyikeakor5451 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😂
They know who you are. It is a pity that such a thing is happening.
It is unfortunate that a whole state government is behaving this way.
Baba, it's better to just keep quiet in peace because if the history hiding inside Benue get out, some people go get heart attack o. The real owners of the land will soon return to sort all this. Abi, una people drop from the sky?
Abeg who be the real owners?
HRH,,, You are Biafra, not by force but via DNA !!!.
Anuohias always trying to draw others to them. Junkuns, Idoma, Tivs, Nupe, Igala, Egbira are all more related to Yorubas and in Yoruboid group in 18th century. So, stop your nonsense
@@Obalufonget lost 🐍
@@HariEren Your whole Umuneze can get lost!
@@HariEren Umunezes/umu anuohias can hug the transformer
@@Obalufon please just allow idoma breathe, we are not Yoruba whatever sir, please check the map of Benue State Idoma land tilts more towards the south-east region with Enugu and Ebonyi and we share a lot of similarities in our dialect, Culture and Skin Complexion.
Since you know all this . Tell your people to support idoma in every governor election in benue . I doma will bring you guy's to the map
Is like you are dreaming in the afternoon
Jukun, Tiv, idoma were the pple who massacred the highest number of igbos during the Biafran war. Even some igbos who were hidden by their hausa friends at the beginning were taken thru train to the east they were blocked by this pple and slaughtered even pregnant women were killed and their baby pulled out by this tribes. Today the hausas and fulanis are killing them and i see some usless igbo sons and daughters having pity on them. This jukun pple that on a slightest problem they start burning igbo properties even when fighting with their Tiv brothers. We need to be careful. The name igbo means different thing in different languages. Make them settle their wahala as for us the igbos we have being fighting for survival since the amalgamation of Nigeria and it has made us very resistant. So let them enjoy their fulani brothers encroachment as for us fulanis will be crushed if the trespass and i knw we will fight back because we have never being friends with them
You don’t know your history then,and this mumu called jukum people are the ones bringing trouble in benue,they are first to bring up lies on media,they join hands with to kill tiv people saying they are there Muslim brothers,back to your statement,I have never hard of tiv wars between tiv and Igbo people I don’t know where you got your own history from,yeah Gowon did fight but he was from platue state and he was fooled into doing that
that is the reason you must never cover up a coup to commit ethnic cleansing as you did during the first coup. Once do it, you would be repaid, and it may hit you harder than the people you first attacked. Nobody owes you anything. You Zik and Aguiyi Ironsi people massacred every other tribe under the cover so you could be in control, and then the revenge came. swallow it and keep your mouth shut up
Excellently said.
Why are you calling the Igbo useless?
Please provide proof of your claim that the Jukun, Tiv and Idoma (especially the idoma) were the people who massacred the highest number of igbos during the Biafran War. Soon You people will deny Enugu as an igbo land
Why omale tanko igbo? Why ig bo in his name?
Pronounced differently and means an entire different thing, In the idoma land Igbo is bread or something baked like Moi moi
There isn't any rich knowledge in what you said.
How I know a traditional head is them having touch with history
The people wey get Benue plenty o ... Umm! Make we just cover am. You are all just new "tenant". Learn to live in peace. Everyone should stop the greed.
Throw more light to your point.
Because Jukum and Idoma are from Kwararafa kingdom does not make you a Benue citizen, you will soon say you are from Edo state
I don first talk am say one day. Igbos go say name them get Lagos or Abuja. Them go find the meaning of Lagos in Igbo language.
😂😂FOOLISH YOU 😂😂... DEY THERE DEY CRY AFTER BIAFRANS WHILE FULANI DEY SWALLOW YOUR YORUBA PEOPLE GRADUALLY 😂ODE OSHI... OLORIBURUKU.. OMO ALE... WE ARE BIAFRANS... WHO WANT YOUR LAGOS? FOOL
U where trained to dislike history so ,take wat ever u are given .., truth cant be hidden for ever . its time for truth now .
@@figurfigur8965 fabricated and manufactured history. Where was all these history in the 12 centuries. We're your ancestors sleeping when others will writing theirs? U truth is lies to other because it has no bases. Go and search how ur language was created.
They can lie they will forge one story to suit themselves
This chief did not even know the history of his state, what a shame! "Benue" is a compound word in Tiv language Ber Nor:"Ber" meaning lake, while "Nor"means hippopotamus, all together, lake of hippopotamus. The white man couldn't call it bernor rather, he pronounce it Benue.
Baba know something before you talk.
Salary chief, TIV people are being killed in Taraba property being taken or destroyed by your own people.
How long have tiv people existed in taraba state, how much are they paying the traditional rulers of tiv nation in that place if not fight, if you like let yeruba and hawusa bee in that kwararafa kingdom it will not make a change of what should bee.
Did you know the initial name for ukari?
SO WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE STILL PLAYING I DON'T CARE ATTITUDES ABOUT THIS TYPE OF HISTORY AROUND YOU GUYS.
My friend your face is igbo face , igbo is benue
This man leave empty land in Taraba , come the look salary in Benue.You small guy come the bring history that dont exist. You said, you dont cause problem but is problem you come the cause here
Stop wearing that cap go and find another type of cap oooo
Hahahaha I laugh in tiv
This kind of information do create problem, you are a traditional rulers, this things need not to be coming from your mouth.
My friend go and sleep please
There is igbo in ur name. Mixture of jukum and igbo. Are u sn igbo who was deceived. Explain.
Igbo doesn't necessarily mean he is Igbo eg Igbo means Bush in yoruba so don't always associate igbo with every other tribe
The word `Igbo` mean different things in other languages. For instance it can refer into Marijuana or Indian Hemp, in Yoruba the Ijebu Ode and the Ijebu Igbos are so-called because they lived in highly forested regions in the past since forest or bush in Yoruba is Igbo.
Ijebu Ode migrated from middle belt and Ijebu Igbo from east
There Igbos
Igbo in the zoo is called Ndi-Gbo meaning (Ancient People) Igbo is a corrupt Ndi Gbo ... Some Yorubas refer to Ndi Gbo as Ndi Igbo. You feel me?
Who are the people bringing issues of Biafra here, are you ppl mad,me iam igbo man
Why omale tanko igbo? Why ig bo in his name?
Him dey smoke igbo
