An honour well deserved. Franc Utoo and advocate of peace who brought the attention of the world to the killings in Yelwata, Benue state. Yesterday in far away Oklahoma, he received the honors of the FOURTH DEGREE of the Knights of Columbus at the Exemplification of Patriotism, held at the Church of St. Mary in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Franc Utoo influenced the visitation of the United Nations delegation to Benue state over the killings of Christians in Yelwata.

Wow 👏👏👏❤️🇳🇬 Private Utim Terwase of the Nigerian Army rejected a ₦500,000 bribe from a suspected notorious kidnapper in Plateau State and chose to do his duty instead. The Nigerian Army has now rewarded him with ₦500,000 for his honesty and professionalism. We need more men like this. 🫡🇳🇬

From classroom to courtroom to crown: That is how Orchivirigh Dr. James Akperan Orshi, OON (1925–1990), the third Tor Tiv, lived a remarkable life. He was the rare leader who fused a teacher’s heart, a lawyer’s mind, and a statesman’s skill with traditional authority. Tor Tiv Orshi was the first Tor Tiv to be installed with a Holy bible instead of Swem, making him the first practising Christian to sit on the Tor Tiv stool. In 1985 he convened the gatherings that gave birth to Mdzough U Tiv—the enduring socio-cultural voice of the Tiv nation. Tor Tiv Osrhi left a significant mark in education during his reign that a Polytechnic has being named after him decades after his demise.

Benue Women: elegance, strength, and heritage in every step. From the graceful Igede in striking blue, the radiant Idoma in bold red, to the proud Tiv in classic stripes — these queens of the Middle Belt showcase the rich cultural tapestry, beauty, and unity of Benue State. Tradition looks this powerful. Photo credit: Adima P. Onahi
