MUTA America

-

Benue’s inefficiency and poor planning has been exported to America.

Visitors to the MUTA convention from the motherland know more about the event than the residents.

The whole event is shrouded in mystery, a simple and cheap dissemination tool like a MUTA Facebook page is hard to find through a random search and MUTA America’s website has not been updated to provide information about this event.

Not even Akase’s press release provided they information for the event. Aondu only knows how much will be spent by the entourage of delegates from Benue state for this event.

I dare say they will outnumber Tiv diasporans who despite their enthusiasm would be hard pressed to take precious vacation time to attend such an event in a far-flung corner in the state of Maryland on a weekday.

Conclusively the cost of the entourage would be sufficient to pay for the school fees and or assist struggling Tiv people in America, forget they pictures you see on Facebook.

If I did not know better I would say the planners are deliberately trying to have as few residents attend as possible so they can engage the dignitaries individually for all manner of private solicitations and favors, but my mind wonders beyond the positive and what do I know as an innocent observer that has not made time to attend meetings I never hear about.

The Idoma convention is also scheduled but the details are scant as well not even my idoma friends here in America on Facebook are promoting such an important event, at least on paper.

So many missed opportunities for unions are missed and if the locations are ideal and publicized on our one Nigeria embassy website you might find that friends of the Tiv and idoma from other tribes would like to attend.

God help MUTA and Benue State and the disorganized diaspora community in the US aided by the terrible incompetence of the embassy to unite Nigerians in the diaspora,

Time For Yo TIV to Rise Up Again

-
Herdsmen attacked have resumed according to a press release by Ortom. He also demanded that these herdsmen be declared as the Terrorists that they truly are.  Where are the angry Tiv men and stubborn women I remember and know. Why is Facebook not agog with the news and commentary support, why is the Tiv Brotherhood Page with thousands of members empty of comments. Is it because we do not identity with unknown peasants from remote villages.  The period of peace following the vigorous introduction of RUGA and the sympathy following the ignoble massacre and public burial of hundreds of TIV seems to have induced some sort of slumber and even the MAFO and beef seems to have lost its vigor. No one seems to be sensitized that it starts small in remote villages before towns get overrun. Why is Governor Ortom they only one staking and risking his political career, albeit skillfully, in confronting this menace which extends beyond the political to every Tiv man, we know he is the Governor and ha

AKWAZA USED & KILLED - WE MOURN

-
The biggest crime that made Akwaza person non grata was that he allegedly stole cows of Fulani herdsmen. That is a lie, he chased away grazing cows and their Fulani herders in his zeal to implement anti grazing laws or in righteous anger at the destruction of crops and vast tracks of farmland, some stubborn resistant herdsmen may have been killed or brutalized in the process. Ever since, that unforgivable sin, confirmed by a serving governor that anyone spilling Fulani blood had taken a debt? the force of federal might was used to have akwaza declared a criminal militia commander and a N5m bounty was placed on his head. Alongside that declaration, an insidious plot was hatched to tie and link incidents of banditry to Tiv militia commanders like Akwaza and Deyan and Tashiaku. Unfortunately for Akwaza This ransom was declared before the massacres that forced Ortom’s hand to act under cover of the mass burial of the innocents and other events to enact the anti grazing bil and become more

Following Up On Governor Ortoms Call For Gun Possession

-
 In a recent submission to the Centre for values in leadership, in collaboration with the Governors forum, Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, suggested that responsible Nigerians be allowed to carry AK47’s to reduce insecurity in the land. Coming from a state ravaged by ethnic cleansing and genocidal slaughter by suspected Fulani herdsmen his suggestion was not greeted by the strong applause it deserved especially from an advocate and government official so highly placed, perhaps because his call may have been perceived as a suggestion based on solving the background of violence in Benue State alone. In retrospect, it is time for Nigerians to not disregard his suggestion and to take the call for  gun possession by all Nigerians more seriously with the flight into worsening insecurity and endless slaughter and killings and burglaries and carjacking’s and kidnappings of Nigerians today, especially since the federal government cannot guarantee the safety of Nigerians, a core human right
