Welcome to Benue State, Step into the world of the Tiv people and indulge in a rich and abundant way of eating that will leave you feeling satisfied and fulfilled.🔥🍲

In the Tiv land, where food is plenty and the producers of food never lack, the Tiv people enjoy a style of eating called "Piano" see above picture.

This tradition is all about indulging in a variety of soups served with just one type of swallow (rwam) which can be pounded yam or other options. The Tiv people eat with passion every time, like it's the last supper, yet they always have enough for themselves and to feed the nation.

It's no wonder why Benue is called the "Food Basket of the Nation!" The abundance of food and the rich style of eating are a testament to the Tiv people's resilience and strong connection to their roots.

Joke of the day

A beer company was hiring a taster, Someone to taste the beers before they are taken for selling. So they placed adverts and one afternoon, my father walked into the manager's office asking to be employed.

The manager tried to figure out how he could drive him away but couldn't come up with an idea, so he decided to give him a trial. He ordered his secretary to give him a glass of wine 🍷

He took a sip and said, "It's Red wine, Varietal, three years old, grown on rift valley, matured in steel containers."

"That's correct!" The manager exclaimed, "Well give him another one let's see." So he was given.

He took a sip again and said, "It's Guinness, a combination of barley, roast malt extract, and brewers yeast brewed around Thika road in Nairobi, Kenya 2 years ago"

"Incredible!" said the manager.

Now the manager went closer to the secretary and whispered to her saying, "Go get some of your urine in a cup let's see if he will get that."

So my father was given the cup of urine. He took a sip, turned to the manager and said, "Female urine, 26 years old, 2 weeks pregnant and if I'm not given this job, Sir I will tell your wife who is responsible for the pregnancy"

both the manager and the secretary fainted 😁😳

My father got the job✌

BREAKING: ASUU Suspends 8-Month-Old Strike Conditionally

The Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) has suspended its eight-month-old industrial action conditionally, a member of the union’s National Executive Committee told Channels TV early Friday.

The union decided to suspend the strike during a meeting of its leadership that started on Thursday night and lasted into the early hours of Friday.

The meeting was called by the union to determine its next line of action after its state branches met over the Court of Appeal ruling last week.

The Court of Appeal had ordered ASUU to suspend the strike before its appeal of the ruling ordering lecturers to resume work can be heard.

Members of the union’s National Executive Committee, which comprises the chairmen of the state chapters and members of the national executive, attended the meeting at the ASUU National Secretariat in Abuja.

ASUU has been on strike since February 14 this year.

This is the condition of Sankera-Chito-Vaase road that that the past and present governments have refused to construct but when it's election time, they will come and campaign to seek for our votes.

They will promise that, vote us, we will construct it, my people will vote but they won't do anything about it.

It's election time again, I wonder what they will come and promise this time around.

I just spoke with my mum, it's only motorcycles that are plying the road, a passenger from my village to Sankera is now 2000. When you get to Sankera you will find another means of transportation to Zaki Biam since the state government banned motorcycles in entire Sankera.

Are the people of Torov, Ukum not part of this state that the government has neglected us this long?

The government should rise up to its responsibility abeg.

GOV ORTOM PRESENTS OFFICIAL VEHICLES TO 23 LG CHAIRMEN

Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has presented new Toyota Hilux vehicles to the 23 Local Government Council Chairmen in the state for official use.

Presenting the vehicles to the Council Chairmen on Monday, September 19th, 2022 at the Benue Peoples House, Makurdi, the Governor urged them to use the vehicles judiciously for the service of their people.

He said the vehicles were meant to enhance the effective operations of the local government Chairmen in their respective areas.

Governor Ortom pointed out that the choice of the Toyota Hilux vehicles was informed by the reason that they could easily navigate difficult terrains in facilitating movement of the Chairmen even at the grassroots communities.

While praying for the vehicles not to be involved in any form of accident, the Governor enjoined the Council bosses to ensure adequate maintenance of the vehicles so as to add value to their respective administrations.

Special Adviser to the Governor on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Barrister Kenneth Achabo had earlier stated that the procurement of the vehicles was to enhance service delivery by the Council Chairmen.

The Guma Local Government Chairman and Chairman ALGON Benue State, Dr Mike Ubah who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, expressed appreciation to Governor Ortom for what he described as the Governor's sustained efforts toward the growth and development of the third tier of government.
